I guess boats are out of the question here. Another news group gone to hell

Perhaps if you were to post a boating related question, it would get
answered. But, alas, your above flame puts you right in the same group
as those you are whining about.

Not a flame just a fact. I put some filters on and got a big 12 msgs about
boats. My subject was about boats. Although from what I see this must be
alt.politics not rec.boats

One more thing. This news group is not just to post questions. It is for boating
related subject matter whether questions or statements.

This will be my last post on this subject however. Just wanted to see if others
felt the same way or not and see if some of those who post OT maybe would slow
down a little, but I do not see that happening.

No it does not, not even close. But good try.

A quick Google search shows you to be a typical OT whiner.
Over 50% of your most recent posts are to OT threads.

Hypocrite.

So what your saying is because I lurk mostly I can't express my opinion on
assholes who post OT all the time? Because I post only to whine about OT
posts (50% of the time) it makes it ok to post off topic? So everyone has
the right to post off topic? I see your point...you make perfect sense. I
hate that people here turn the arguement around - If there were no OT posts
would I still be a hypocrite?

Glenn---- The problem is selfishness - all OT people don't give a crap
about anyone else and probably would wave at the people stranded on a
sinking ship.

No, I'm didn't say that at all.
I do think it's funny that you whine about OT topics while at the same time
posting to them.

Read for content.
I didn't say you post 50% of the time to whine. I said, 50% of the time or more
you are posting to OT topics.
That makes you, IMHO, a hypocrite.

So everyone has
the right to post off topic?

You seem to.
So why doesn't anybody else?

I see your point...you make perfect sense.

Well of course. Thanks. :-)

If there were no OT posts you would not be posting to them nor whinning about
them now would you.

would I still be a hypocrite?

I guess not.

Or in your case, wave at the people waving at the stranded people.
