For me, this newsgroup has been very enjoyable in the past, often laced with humor that has had me belly laughing. Even some of the off-topic threads have been interesting, thought provoking, some boring, with lively exchanges of views. Nothing wrong with that in my opinion. Lately, the NG has become increasingly full of threats, foul mouthed attacks and just plain stupidity. I have spent many hours creating and maintaining the "Boats" of rec.boats website. It has become known outside of the NG circle and my name is associated with it. If this idiotic trend in personal attacks, threats and posting of phone numbers and addresses continues in the rec.boats newsgroup, I will be forced to close the site permanently. Eisboch ....... And in 18 years, nothing has changed.... That's an oldie but goodie.Â*Â*Â* Bush had just been sworn in after Gore lost.Â* Been downhill since. On the date Tim specified, Bush and Gore weren't even their party's nominees. If the rancor was as bad as you recall, blame it on your right-wing buddies, intent even then on driving out the few remaining posters who didn't subscribe to their political views. I had the date wrong.Â* You knew that.Â* Big deal.Â* Still doesn't change the point of my post and you made more noise about it than anyone here. You still do. That election marked the beginning of the decay of rec.boats as a boating group and you are primarily the reason why. Yeah, right, that explains why all the moderate to left of center regular posters here, with the exception of Don and me, have left, and so many of the right-wingers have remained. You boys have a problem with me because I simply refuse to accept your right-wing catechism, your awful presidents and most of your awful presidential and vice presidential candidates. The people I saw leave were the ones who wanted to talk about boats. |
