Besides, I personally don't mind a bit of OT stuff sprinkled in here and there. It's the vicious, uncivil tone, and the personal remarks, and the daily flame wars that have literally continued from one century to the next that seem extremely juvenile. Actions speak louder than words. Regardless of the thoughts expressed by any individual poster about the type of group he or she would like to see rec.boats become, following the tone, the volume, and the content of the posts gives a true picture of that person's priorities. How often have we heard, "I think calling names is disgusting, and I'll stop as soon as that blankety, blankety, blankety, blank {insert name here} does!"? Actual adults wouldn't need a moderator, and a moderator wouldn't turn most of us into actual adults. That makes more sense than a couple dozen 'newsgroup sermons'. Since it's Christmas week I'm going to try to turn the other cheek (no not that one Krueger) and try to reflect on the reason for Christmas.
