The question that should be asked is why are such posters tolerated? You have no idea what it used to be like, just a short few weeks ago. Just google back a few weeks and see for yourself. The thing with don and slammer just went ballistic a few weeks back too and that is what it is... Anyway, many of us are trying to lick the wounds of 15 years of "the poster I wish were dead", and don isn't helping. As to harry, yes, I wish he were not here for the last fifteen years, saying nasty things about my family and children, chasing my business customers and threatening to interfere with said business, posting info on the business and even some of my more conservative customers, running background checks on posters here and using that info to slander and smear them and myself and who knows who else, chasing other female posters to their marinas, taking pictures of them on the sneak and posting them here driving them from the group, I could go on... Yes, my hatred for harry does not make me proud but I am not alone, I am just the only one willing to admit it... And sure, I have fought with him over the years and even had my go with slammer but I fixed it, and let it go... I didn't go chasing him around like don has been doing to slammer for weeks (slammer is e#c# or whatever). Don goes after me just about each and every post he makes but I pretty much ignore him too and we did our thing a while back.. Most here will tell you I have been pretty much trying to stay out of the crap for a while now, especially lately, as I am very busy with another project of my own.... I am not here throwing any insults at anybody with each and every post, I am not chasing posters around the net to other groups like one of the folks here is, I am willing to talk boats even if I don't know as much as some others here.... But yes, for the things harry has said about my children and myself and wife over the years, I do hate him... I can't deny that... |

Well, you've got rec.boats...building, cruising, electronics, kayak,marketplace, paddle, paddle touring, paddle whitewater, racing, racing power, and sailing. One or more of those may be of more interest. But, it doesn't hurt to do as one poster suggested, use a filter here and there. There used to be a lot of sailing discussed on 'cruising'. Don't know if it still is or not. Could be it's become a cess pool like this place. A few folks just ?won't quit. Rather than having to filter out at least half the baker's dozen of posters here, wouldn't it be better to try to get the insulters to behave or to just ignore them all of them entirely? I'm already not reading a couple of posters here because, well, frankly, they're just obnoxious and looking for a fight or dropping an insult with just about everything they post here. If I filter out more posters, there won't be many left here to read. :) The pièce de résistance for me came today when one poster wished another poster was sick or dead and another poster seemed to threaten yet another poster with murder. The question that should be asked is why are such posters tolerated? You have no idea what it used to be like, just a short few weeks ago. Just google back a few weeks and see for yourself. The thing with don and slammer just went ballistic a few weeks back too and that is what it is... Anyway, many of us are trying to lick the wounds of 15 years of "the poster I wish were dead", and don isn't helping. As to harry, yes, I wish he were not here for the last fifteen years, saying nasty things about my family and children, chasing my business customers and threatening to interfere with said business, posting info on the business and even some of my more conservative customers, running background checks on posters here and using that info to slander and smear them and myself and who knows who else, chasing other female posters to their marinas, taking pictures of them on the sneak and posting them here driving them from the group, I could go on... Yes, my hatred for harry does not make me proud but I am not alone, I am just the only one willing to admit it... And sure, I have fought with him over the years and even had my go with slammer but I fixed it, and let it go... I didn't go chasing him around like don has been doing to slammer for weeks (slammer is e#c# or whatever). Don goes after me just about each and every post he makes but I pretty much ignore him too and we did our thing a while back.. Most here will tell you I have been pretty much trying to stay out of the crap for a while now, especially lately, as I am very busy with another project of my own.... I am not here throwing any insults at anybody with each and every post, I am not chasing posters around the net to other groups like one of the folks here is, I am willing to talk boats even if I don't know as much as some others here.... But yes, for the things harry has said about my children and myself and wife over the years, I do hate him... I can't deny that... Are you back on crack cocaine? Anyone can do a search on you and find posts over in the alt.guitar.bass where you were posting personal info about Slammer/e#c and indicating that you found info on him in more groups. That's how I got the info I needed, thanks to you. It was between late 2010 and Feb of 2011. |
Well, so much for our new poster...

I guess we will see soon enough as the line gets drawn... Seems don has posted by far the most personal attacks in the last week, and even has been chasing me and another poster to another group.. Simple math, but he has said nothing about that. I say 8 in 10 chances you are correct... Still, I hope not... |

He seemed too sensible to waste his time in the company of you and your ilk. 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? We're here to help. Give us your phone number and we'll call you when someone starts an interesting racing shell or ice-boat thread. 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. Well, you've got rec.boats...building, cruising, electronics, kayak,marketplace, paddle, paddle touring, paddle whitewater, racing, racing power, and sailing.

It's don, jps, and kevin who have been trolling and calling names... almost exclusively. So why would you agree with that statement? Doesn't make sense, do you think none of us has noticed stuff like that since the great departure a few weeks back? Geeze... |

No wonder they can't get along with folks that aren't exactly like them. |
