How 'bout some talk about BOATS? There are plenty of other forums for limp wristed liberal whiners to try and spew their diarrhea in, instead of rec.boats......

I have spent most of my time on other forums where there is still friendly, helpful, and constructive answers. Places where boaters still love boating and respect their peers The answer isn't a kill file, the answer is getting the political arguements by the inbreds here to take is somewhere else. It is NOT the obligation of boaters and visitors to this group to "deal with it". It is the obligation of the (left & right) politicos to take it elsewhere. No one is looking in a mirror here. I've been around this NG since 1998, and it used to be I couldn't wait to log in every day and see what was being discussed. It was awesome at one time. I rarely login here anymore. No one's crying, it's just a fact. This NG has been ruined by too many posts and too few contributions on the topic of boating. I've seen many times where valuable contributors have had enough and said so, only to be ridiculed and told where to go. There are many names from years ago that don't post here anymore, but I see thier names on other forums, and they are like old friends: On topic and ready to share. Coff Post less, contribute more. |

Same here. I'd need to shovel a path 50 feet long in 40" snow just to get to

There are many names from years ago that don't post here anymore, but I see thier names on other forums, and they are like old friends: On topic and ready to share. I go back at least that far as well, and like you, really used to enjoy my time spent here. Truly sad how polluted this (virtual) place has become. Amazing how just a few insects can destroy so much harvest. I don't know which is more pathetic; that these assholes consider this place their personal playground to post their bull**** without regard to the stated subject matter of the forum, or that they actually think anybody really gives a flying **** about their political opinions. It's not about cabin fever in the winter. It's not about conversations that you would likely hear on the docks at your marina. These are two common red herrings offered to absolve guilt. It's really about extremely small people with delusions of self-importance that in actuality are so incredibly boring that nobody anywhere else will listen to them. How wretched is that for an existence? It's interesting that one of the more prolific regulars who potentially had some of the most to offer in boating-related topic, also had a tendency to feel the need to regularly sermonize with his political beliefs. Of course, I'm referring to Chuck Gould. Chuck is connected to boating in more ways than most of us would ever hope to be, and always had meaningful insights, when he chose to stay on topic. But at least he opted to take the high road and took a powder, apparently considering himself more a part of the problem rather than part of the solution. Unfortunately, his challenge to other OT posters to do the same was universally ignored. And he's only one example of many savvy contributors who simply don't bother to show up any more for obvious reasons. Jeez, they've been gone so long, I can't even remember most of their names. Now, most of the prolific posters that we have left couldn't float an intelligent boating-related thought if their life depended upon it. So, I'm afraid that the outlook for rec.boats isn't very promising. It would appear that the less of a real life you have, the more time and inclination you have to defile this place, resulting in the current signal to noise ratio. |

One might say: "How long could a thread on a single line a US Pres. Candidates said 3 yrs ago could go on?" and the answer, apparently, is "at least dozens of posts...". In other words, people here are simply more interested in politics then they are in boating. Which is strange, since this is a boating forum... Lloyd |

I rarely login here anymore. Just checking in here. I know what you mean; I've been here since the middle 80's. I used to love this place, and posted and discussed boats here all the time. Now, though, I just click through it maybe once every 3 or 4 months. It's not just rec.boats, either, it's just about all of USENET. Everywhere you go, it's the same, tired old "OT: Bush lied about WMD's!!!" garbage. These idiots have such puny, insignificant lives that the only way they can masturbate their microscopic egos is to post their whining on USENET, hiding behind their computer monitors so nobody can see what peabrains they really are. I remember when USENET was an incredible place, before the web had even been invented, and we used newsreaders like RN or TRN or TIN, advertising online was utterly unheard of, and the only people online were professors, graduate students, and scientists at government research labs. Those days are long gone, though, and complaining about the present state of USENET is, well... you might as well be complaining about the sky being blue. Sigh. Ron M. |

You're absolutely right and it's unfortunate. I wish this could
become a moderated forum. Then and only then the OT crap would stop.
