Hey, if you can control the internet than great. Virtual is different than
face to face as you asked, much different. Anonymous also. But every other
newsgroup has political discussions going on, mostly about the war and
elections. Unless you use censorship or moderate the group, your going to
lose your battle. I think also you will lose more members and valuable input
to the group should you chose to moderate or censor it.

What you're saying essentially is that the standards of decorum and common
courtesy that we all accept in our face to face interactions with others
are
not applicable in rec.boats. Why is that? Because you can get away with
it?
