Leaving The Newsgroup
I've been reading this newsgroup for a few years now, giving advice where and
when it was needed or requested. However, for various reasons (mostly the political and BS), I find it's time to leave. Should anyone require advice that actually pertains to boating and/or their engines, I'd suggest visiting the following sites: www.marineengine.com , www.maxrules.com , www.iboats.com Joe (30+ Years With OMC) |

Don, you really should treat Mr. Blackmoore with more deference. After all, he has been an important contributor to rec.boats. After all, he has been a prolific and valued contributor to the newsgroup--in over 200 posts, he has posted on boating related topics, um...twice--no, sorry--three whole times. That was back in September of 2002. So just give the guy a break. Give him the respect he deserves. Maybe he'll actually get involved in boating somehow. Joe Parsons |

Don, he is leaving due to the OT political bs, you are in the same category
as NYOB. If you want to have the knowledgeable people hang around, why don't you stop the political posts? NYOB attitude is who cares, by your OT posts you are agreeing with him.

And you most certainly never filter out posts (not read) by Krause and Dougie, or 'asskisser and jps and others like them? Right? And those same posters that I just mentioned certainly never speak "ill of a fellow American and always use respectable language" too right? According to your parameters above, what is the difference between the two groups? The only difference is that you are a supporter of one side or political persuasion and of course anything goes with regards to your favored team. And I am a 'moderate' as far my being "conservative" goes. You evidently don't know what a "neoconservative" is. LOL |

Right? I don't filter anybody. I often read Doug Kanter's posts, and occasionally "jps"s, rarely "basskisser"s and very rarely Harry's. However, none of them use as much foul language or as routinely insult those they disagree with. You (and the charming little group I named in my earlier post) do it every time, which is why this is the last time I will ever respond to one of your posts. BTW when posting on boating topics, I use my name. If you don't know it, then you probably don't belong here. DSK |

How about editing the chaff out? Show me whe 1. Harry does not insult someone in his reply to their post disagreeing with his. He hasn't insulted me. He has made posts to people that are probably inappropriate, but these tend to be those that come here to be incendiary. If you are so inclined, "Live by the sword, die by the sword." I don't care to take part. 2. Harry posts boating related topics. Have at it, if you are really interested: http://tinyurl.com/278a3 *He* is the center of the problem. Concentrate your efforts (to improve the group) at him. You are blind to the point that *ALL* off topic posts are equally to blame. If *you* stop contributing to the problem, others will stop, too. Do you want them to stop? Your allegiance to the man is clear. No need for any further discussion. |

We can't hold Maryland responsible for that! That explains a lot. I live in FL and my sister (who IMO is totally wacky), lives in MD. I always blame it on the wacky mental vibrations sent from DC. :) I don't live in Maryland! Harry K. lives in Maryland. Need I say more?

There's no door...or I'd warn you not to let it hit you in the ass.
What a piece of work! Insult someone who actually knew what he was talking about. Agreed.... Pertaining to NOYB and NYUK, obviously two individuals of which it's difficult to reply directly to them without sinking to an astounding low level whereas one would be required to rattle off in obscenities of which they might be able to comprehend. The replies, comments of these two individuals..... well, one must simply consider the source. I'm sure there are many that never got quite past the fourth grade. Makes one wonder... Do they realize that they're giving rednecks a bad name? My first time here.... and last. Cya. |

I never insulted Gene either. He just found it frustrating and impossible
to keep up with my razor-sharp mind. "jim--" wrote in message ... "Gene Kearns" wrote in message ... On Fri, 26 Mar 2004 19:41:54 -0500, "jim--" wrote: "Gene Kearns" wrote in message .. . Harry Krawse seems to be your "textbook example" of what is wrong with this NG. Combined with Chuck Gould they have managed to take this NG from a boating NG to a political one. But I see you have not filtered him out as you respond to some of his posts. Will you be doing so in the near future? And have you add Chuck to your ignore filter also? Or is it only the people who have different political views (from yours) that you filter and bitch about? Me thinks so. Jim, I have told Harry that he posts too much off topic. He does. My standard, and it is admittedly somewhat subjective, is how much a person *does* post on topic vs. his/her total posts tempered with their stated intent. Harry has always been civil to me, even though we stood toe-to-toe when I supported Bush in the last election. I questioned his position, his sources, and his conclusions.... net result was that (1) he was always a gentleman about it and (2) I found *myself* posting *WAY* too much off topic. I filter most of Harry's posts by filters created to cleanse my downloads of off topic content, whether it be liberal, conservative, Republican, Democrat, whatever. *ANY* OT content (detected by the software) goes in the bozo bin without regard to the poster's identity. My *REAL PROBLEM(s)* have been with those who almost *NEVER* (or truly never) post on topic. They come here to disrupt the newsgroup for their own selfish reasons. Some have gone to the extreme lengths of posting hundreds of off topic posts, admitting that they never come here to discuss boating (since they go to other sites for ON-topic posts) and then having the unmitigated gall to secretively email those alternate sites as the alternative to get away from their disruptive OT postings. Clearly, their hate is directed at rec.boats. I don't get it. Do you? Understand that nearly all of my filters relate to *content* not identities. The few people that I have killfiled by name or alias have earned that dubious distinction by going out of their way to be purposefully incendiary and predominantly off topic. Bait *me* and you will *surely* end up in the bozo-bin. Such was NOYB's fate. You know... whatever you are using for a newsreader isn't clever enough to remove signatures. How about editing the chaff out? Show me whe 1. Harry does not insult someone in his reply to their post disagreeing with his. He hasn't insulted me.
