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

That's about right. I've been in and out of wretched.boats since the
early 90s and it has always been a bit over the top for various
reasons. Surprisingly enough, you can still get good answers here if
you ask the right questions and sort through the responses.

I rarely strongly disagree with those offering useful opinions on
boating who actually know what they are talking about and have some
knowledge or experience. And I do not have a vile temper.

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

"Useful" is a subjective judgement of course, and to a certain extent
knowledge and expertise. Vile temper is something else again, but
there is no question regarding vile response. We all know that name
calling begets name calling, and most of us know that reasonable
people can disagree without being disagreeable.

by putting OT in the subject, they aren't really flooding this group
with crap.
Since you don't seem to have much interest in boats,why don't you
summertime boaties form a new group like
rec.boats.fuk'em.lets.talk.politics

Don

Easy Don.

It is true that for some reason, this group attracts those interested in
disrupting this boating group. It is mostly those who's political rants and
opinions would be diced to ribbons in a "real" political group, so they stay
here, fueling their own self-importance. They are also too dumb to know how
Usenet works.

Just set up a kill file, and some filters...its works very well, and is easy
to do, and you will end up with a nice list of boating related threads,
without all the OTs, attacks, trolls, and lies, that the double-digit idiots
spew here.

Good luck.

Not really fair or entirely accurate IMHO, but the poster from under
has certainly been over zealous, no question. With all due respect
Harry, you have done way more than your share to make wretched.boats
what it is.

Thats for sure. Our village idiot Krause has been the number one offender
for quite some time. Aside from his ridiculous lies, attacks, and off-topic
posts, he is personally responsible for well over half of the garbage here.
I find it absolutely outrageous he would even think to claim anybody else is
as "vile" as him.

That is why I urge all to simply kill file him. Wayne, you actually add to
the garbage by responding to ignorant troll...let him go...he's not worth
it.

Garbage is in the eye of the beholder but I (and you) have just as
much right to throw it on the table as anyone else. I actually like
Harry in many respects and would rather try to gently reform him than
to kill file.

I only kill file those who never post on topic.

Frankly, you might be a candidate if not for the cool pictures of your
jet boat. Why not post something about it once in a while?

As are many others. What makes you so special other than your
penchant for creative pseudonyms and usenet clutter?

Harry,
Isn't this the "Identity Theft" you made a major fuss about? While I know
it is not Identity Theft, you seem to have a double standard in all facets
of your life. Some people think it is a common fault of liberals.

My dick IS bigger than yours!

Somewhere I read that the size of one's "member" was inversely
proportional to the size of one's intellect.

FWIW

Dave


You have the power to grow your intellect.
You have the power to grow your dick.

I've done them simultaneously, thereby proving erroneous the theory you
read.

Wayne,
Since this was a thread concerning how this NG is about politics, it only
seem natural.
