As I read this board, I don't understand why so many people seem to
hate each other so much. People on both sides seem to be
knowledgeable about boats. Is it just political differences that are
creating the animosity? Do you guys just enjoy bashing each other?
Some people sound like they are really upset when posting.


It's a simple thing they are anal retentive with the emotional maturity
of thirteen year olds.

If you want to be puzzled by something make why some otherwise mature
adults to not only read their banal and inane juvenile wrangling but
even reply to them.

If that was to stop there would be a lot more boating messages instead
of the usual twenty out of two hundred with the other hundred and eighty
consisting of name calling and absolutely ridiculous and meaningless
political posts.
