Is it unpleasant enough to drive people away? Obviously it is.

It can only be stopped by those who post the OT. It can only be stopped if
they stop posting OT.

It's pretty simple.

================================================== =

Not quite that simple, the real key in my opinion is to stop replying
but that would require a consensus which is not likely to be reached
any time soon. It's a lot like society as a whole, certain behavior
is acceptable, other not. We set the standard by choosing what we
reply to, and how we do it. In an unmoderated group self control is
all there is.

My personal remedy for some off topic, offensive, anonymous post is to
delete it, and hope it stays that way. If the pattern continues there
are ways of zeroing in on the suspect. We've done that before with a
few individuals and usually when you start to smoke them out they just
go away never come back.



I suggest that any rightie who is really upset with me come with guns
ablazing to where I hang my hat:


7142 Ambassador Road
Baltimore, Maryland 21244-2754
(410) 265-8080

Harry, everyone knows where your boat is kept. They know the name. They also
know that lead sinkers make much less noise than lead bullets, but they still
make nice cracks in fiberglass.

If I were you, I would STFU with your requests for violence.

You can always count on the righties to try to instigate a little of the
ultra-violence.
I sincerely hope you're not intimating that I'm instigating anything. Your mouth
is doing the instigating! I was simply posting a topic relating to boats,
specifically, your boat. You are the one with the "bring 'em on' attitude being
displayed. Cool it!

John,

Harry has just about yanked your chain clean out..... he dropped the
address of the Baltimore office of the FBI on you.... not his address.

The address he posted is of no consequence. The location of his boat is of
consequence. His 'come and get me' posts, of late, could actually get him in
trouble. Some of the folks on the NG seem off the wall enough to take him up on
it.

*All* of the "folks" on this NG "off the wall" enough to do what you
suggest, and suggest is exactly what you are doing, are, interestingly
enough, right wingers. The righties are out of control, here and
elsewhere. Why aren't you slightly more moderate righties working to
rein in those on your side of the aisle who are clearly out of control?

Or would that be an exercise in responsibility, which, of course, is
what the right wants to avoid.

All you off the wall guys, get your asses under control! There, now do your
thing Harry.

John

Well, finally, a rightie steps up to the plate and does the right thing.
Thank you, John.

(BTW, I never meant to lump JohnH in the group of irresponsible, out of
control righties. Though I think he is politically confused, he's a
pretty decent guy!)_

(The above might be described as a left-handed compliment)

============================================

Since you were replying to me when you posted the FBI address, I was
concerned that you were lumping me into that category also.

Personally, I'm one of those infuriating fence straddlers that just
can't be pinned down polically. :-) My port side engine tends to
run a little warmer than the st'bd however.

Indeed, you seem decent, too.
Gotta wonder how many of the nutsie cases in here actually called the
FBI office and demanded to speak to me. Three? That's my guess.

Musta been a bunch. When I called the guy answered the phone "Harry
Krause speaking", followed by a bunch of snickering in the background.

Gawd, I love it. I had a chat with Bob, our pet bobcat, about the
possibility of konservative nutsie intruders, and he immediately went
out to the garage toolbox for the file he uses to point up his claws.
Bob was really inspired by his cousin, the white tiger, who went a tad
ballistic out in Vegas a few weeks ago.

Bob, you see, is a yellow-dog Democat.

You mean, like you lefties do with the not-so-moderate guys on *your* side?
I mean lefties like this guy:

And don't accuse me of being a moderate right winger. I'm on the left of the
scale! I just don't like stupidity, which saying "come and get me" seems to be.
You, however, know best.


And that's why you attributed the lunatic posts of Wilbur to some lefty
who's turned on one of his own.

Twisted and imbalanced, just like your heros on Fox News.
