Sensible? Me? That's a laugh. You do have a point though. There's an
awful lot of snarkiness, insulting, threats and splitting of hairs to
wade through to find an interesting post or two, not that my standards
are that high. But what is the point of reading through a hundred or
more posts to find a good boating discussion?

I use my filters when I get into to a new group... after three or four
bad, insulting, or just plain trollish posts I quickly learn who to
watch and who not to.. Admittedly there are a few here who probably have
me binned, so be it but I have made an effort since our main instigator
left us a couple weeks back... He was don's best bud and don seems to be
trying to keep the flames going for him.. Stick around, adjust your
filters, there are still some pretty cool folks here.

You really are delusional... no surprise considering your Peter Pan/Tinker Bell lifestyle.
You are the one who continues to aid and abett the single worst lunatic in this and other newsgroups...that is just a tad worse than you.

You won't know till it happens, " jackass".

Now, go hide your face in Harrys ass where it belongs. No one wants to
hear from a scared, old **** like you.

You've lost ANY credibility you had here, " jackass ".

Oh, ok. 666-6666, extension 666. Just ask for NATAS.

Seriously, my humble opinion is that the seemingly endless snarkiness
and insulting turns off new posters and chills conversation. It sure
makes it difficult to read a thread, at least for me, because when I
come across examples of what I've mentioned, I tend to stop reading the
thread.

This morning, one poster here whose ID I won't mention, apparently
wished another poster were either dead or sick.

Well, that surely entices decent newbies to hang around, doesn't it?
He's not the only example of being nasty to others, either.

My interests in boating go beyond ice boats. Mainly I am interested in
wind or self powered boats, but I like all sorts of boats and I have
other interests too. Treating other people like **** though isn't among
them.
