I don't like politics. I don't like insulting people, especially people I
don't know and probably will never meet, I don't like arguing for the
sake of argument, I don't like ganging up on other posters, I don't like
nasty language.

I have the feeling I have chosen the wrong group in which to waste a
little free time. I haven't done a survey and I won't, but my gut tells
me that about 90% of the posts in here are attacks on other posters, on
politicians, on where one stands in the political spectrums.

Is that the fun part?

What's your point?

That attacks on or insults of other posters seem to be the fun here rather
than friendly discussions.

You can thank Harry Krause for trying to set that tone 15 years ago. It's
been an ongoing effort but it really didn't take hold till about five
years ago. As was pointed out to you a while ago, there are sailing and
paddling groups that might suit you better, unless, of course you are an
anonymous troll who likes to stir up rec.boats.

Are you referring to the Harry who posters say no longer posts here? So his
ghost is responsible for the current crop of insults? Something to think
about.

One and the same. He was disgraced and left with his tail between his
legs. Bankruptcy foreclosure on a very modest bungalow and tax evasion
took its toll on the poor fellow who tried to make us believe he was
something he's not. One has to wonder why you have taken such a liking
to this group?

Reality trumped his lies. I wish him the very best provided he never
returns.
