I've only been here for about 3 months, but I can't help but comment on all
the "political" threads in this newsgroup. This is REC.BOATS. Post your
political opinions in alt.politics, or in one of the other 500 political
newsgroups. It's bad enough it gets posted here, but to reply only makes it
worse.

I know, I know... don't let the door hit my ass on the way out, huh? Well
don't worry. There are a dozen message boards on the web where I don't have
to filter through 10 messages to find one about boating.

Shut up.

Carol,

This isn't supposed to be entirely a spectator event.

The participants determine the character of the board.

Your boating related post would be welcome.

Do you think you are hurting someone's feelings by telling us you are
going to go to other message boards???

I agree!!! about the posting, not about the door on your way out thing.
But if you ignore then maybe just maybe they will go away.

I expected this sort of immature reply from you. You're one of the biggest
problems on this group.

Shut up.

Not at all. I was just making a point that I'm sure others can agree with.
However, most people don't speak up because of ridicule from immature
comments from some of the offenders here.

You might as well set automatic filters to remove those few people
that incessantly post off topic. Filter out the "OT" posts and about
a dozen people and this *is* a boating newsgroup. If you have been
around long enough, you will have noticed that 95% of the OT posters
don't even own a boat, so there is nothing *on* topic going on in
their lives to post.... thus all of the way-out political blather.

It seems to be their purpose to vandalize this news group to the point
that there are no boaters here.... you leaving mad only supports
their cause. Ignore them.


I guess I missed all "Tigger's" contributions to this newsgroup...

You were probably too busy being a total asshole posting your foreign
(to most of us) politics here where it is not welcome.
You have the best politicians that money can buy - either live with it
or get elected and change it.

Clue No 1: rec.* is an international hierarchy. Local usian issues
belong elsewhere.

Here is my solution to all those non-rec.boats messages - I add the
individuals to my delete filter list and they no longer bother me. The
messages are few, but they do deal with rec.boats.
It's too bad that I am adding some who contribute to this group, but it's
the only way I can keep this group straight.

If some of you have a better idea, I would like to hear from you
