Florida, are you stupid or a troll?

Once again O.T.s win over ligit posts
 

What's so stupid about wanting to read about "boats" in the "rec.boats"
newgroup instead of having to wade through the OT crap? Looks like you're
the one who's trolling.

So, should those of us who frequent rec.boats make boat posts so you can
enjoy your visits to rec.boats?

Use a filter.

Maui, it looks like these people have nothing better to do with their life.
They have all of these strong held beliefs and no one gives a damn, so they
come to this list because it makes them feel important.

What's so stupid about wanting to read about "boats" in the "rec.boats"

What's stupid is that Florida Keyz keeps starting off-topic posts
that are ABOUT off topic posts...and doesn't even mark them
off topic. So FK is adding to the problem he's complaining
about. Seems pretty stuipid to me.

Also stupid is that FK keeps posting that the "moderator" or
"manager of this list" should do someting. A number of
people have followed up his posts and explained that
there is NO moderator and why. Yet FK continues to
call out for the moderator to either do something or "be
ashamed" - that seems pretty stuipid too.

So, the only conclusion I can draw is that Florida Keyz
doesn't read replies to his messages, can't read, can't unerstand
his own hipocracy, OR that he just wants to post threads to get
people to respond (which is called trolling). Maybe there is some
other explanation. If so, I'd love to hear it.

PS: I'm quite aware that by replying to his posts that I'm
adding off-topic posts. But then again, I'm not complaining
about off-topic posts as he is.

I visit this forum more for information than for enjoyment. I'm not asking
anyone to post anything so that I can "enjoy my visit". Of course, anyone
has the right to post anything that they wish in a newgroup. But, (and
maybe I'm wrong) I thought is was just considered a common courtesy to stay
within the topic. I must be wrong, seeing that OT info outnumbers "boat"
topics.

Some of us (from both sides) rec.boats threw common courtesy out the
window during the 2000 election debacle.

Rec.boats is a true reflection of the division in the US. It's the
nastiest bar off the nastiest dock you've been to in your life. You
have to decide whether it's so nasty that you want to turn your boat
around and head back out to sea or filter out the crap you don't want to
witness.

Your choice.

BTW, how does your courtesy meter deal with top posting?

Maui, as you can see from the response to your post, this forum is full of
people without any sense of common courtesy. The idiots in here could visit
any number of different political forums to discuss politics, but it would
appear they do not have the intelligence to discuss the matter with people
who are knowledgeable on the subject, hence they stay out of the political
newsgroups.

I apologize for the breach in etiquette. I do choose to continue visiting
this newsgroup and gather information that I can use from time to time
regardless of whatever state this group it is in. And, I understand peoples
frustrations with life/government/country/economy/whatever and the desire to
talk about it. However, I think courtesy went south long before the 2000
election, and that there are better forums to discuss whatever you have on
your mind that doesn't pertain to boats/boating. You're right, it's nasty.
But, it doesn't have to be.

Impossible, since this is a newsgroup and not a list, and since there is no
manager (or moderator as it would be called.)

Those political newsgroups are too damn nice. We left that cautious
crap behind long ago. It's balls to the wall here in rec.boats.

Republicans think they're "conservatives." Republicans think the
Democrats are "liberals." It's a ****pot of fun.

It's a lot nastier than pumping out and lot more fun.
