I came to this forum some time ago asking a question about which would be the best boat to buy! I got some pretty good answers, but, oh my Lord, what happened next . . .? It was like throwing a rabbit into a pack of wild dogs. I’ve checked back a few times, and I’m simply amazed by what goes on here.

Now, back to the boat: some unexpected events have arisen, and I’ve had to put off the purchase for the immediate future. The boat I would have gotten was the Edgewater 17’ with a 115 Yamaha. . . one day, hopefully. A total hip replacement came at a bad time!

These are just a few of my observations:

Thank you Wayne for your updates on your travels! Your reports have been a joy to read! You seem to be a true boater!
Then there’s the one who reeks havoc by his vulgar language and his threats to kill. I, and I’m serious, pray for you. You really do need to seek counseling. You must realize that your poison does you no good.
Then there’s the one who thinks he is above all others - so smug and arrogant. He is the absolute authority, but I admit that he definitely has command of the English language. You need to try to be a little more charitable and remember the old cliche: “When you point your finger at one person, three of your fingers are pointing back at you!”
Then the one whose every other post is “cite!” I think that he thinks he’s intellectually superior, but it’s hard to imagine any intellect when he starts calling others “morons” and other such terms and puts himself on the same level as those he criticizes.
One person speaks up, and the pack pounces. I’ve never seen such name calling, such disrespect, such utter disregard for another’s opinion, and the list just goes on and on. If you look at this group as a microcosm of the world, then we’re in very serious trouble.

Then it dawned on me! This group thrives on chaos, scorn, and disdain! You love it! That’s why you sit on the edge of your chairs staring at your computers ready to chime in with more words of wisdom! Otherwise, why would the same posters keep returning day after day, hour after hour?

Please, look at your posts with objective eyes. Certainly you can act better than this. Certainly you are better than this.

Peace to you all.
