I cannot believe this post has not gotten any responses in a support of
our
British friends.


You will likely find responses of support outside of this forum
Jim.Readers of this NG probably have other avenues in which to express
themselves to the London attacks

The rec.boats NG can take some pride that this incident didn't become
a catalyst, at least so far, for the following types of posts:

1) It's Bush's fault, he lied to us about Iraq.
2) It's the liberals' fault, they shouldn't be undermining our foreign
policy by pointing out inconsistency at the executive level.
3) We should just nuke all the ragheads
4) We should hold a peace conference, gather in a circle, and sing
"Kum-Ba-Yah, Allah" in English, Farsi, Kurdish, and Arabic.
5) Poster X is a dickhead
6) No, Poster Y is a dickhead
7) Screw it, you're all filtered so I didn't really even see the post
that prompted me to say "screw it."
8) Etc etc etc

The London subway bombing was a tragedy. As Dry pointed out, there are
better places than rec.boats to express grief, outrage, anger,
sympathy, sorrow, etc. Each incident like this is horrific, especially
for the families dealing on a personal level with death or injury. Many
people apparently feel that attempting to have a meaningful discussion
of this incident in the wrecked.boats super trolling is useless and
inappropriate.

The number of nastigrams between the long term participants seems to be
way down today, so perhaps the NG response is one of appropriate
restraint.
