A reasonable Proposal
Harry Krause wrote: Doug Kanter wrote: wrote in message oups.com... I sorta agree. The reason why I started posting political stuff here is cuz others would not refrain from it, a lame excuse I know. Furthermore, political sites are so overcrowded that ones ideas get lost. I'll go along with this embargo of politics. At least here, the audience is somewhat finite. If the discussions didn't descend into obnoxious bull****, some were actually interesting. Look at some of the longer ones, and if you can, imagine what they would've been like if 80% of the messages didn't involve some ****** complaining about a boat that Harry may or may not have owned. Or, Scupper dropping anti-semitic remarks. Frankly. I find this place vapid now. I don't miss the strife, but without real discussions about issues, what's the point of having a discussion group? I mean, how many times do *you* want to discuss battery chargers? It's certainly possible to have discussions without the pig-piling and personal insults. I don't see why anyone here should take it personally if I refer to a certain national political figure as a lying, intellectually lazy, worthless piece of crap, or I think that huge, heavy sports cars are a contradiction in terms. Harry, the theme of the group is supposed to be the discussion of things related to boating. If you find the discusssions "vapid", then perhaps you might consider either contributing some boating related content or spending more time on one of the thousands of political feud and flaming groups that proliferate on the internet. The fact that the majority of people on rec.boats are voluntarily refraining from posting inflammatory crap means that the majority of people would prefer not to see it here. If you're looking for a daily political brawl, there are plenty of them elsewhere to choose from. Describing a "certain national political figure" as you just did is one reasonably certain way to restart the name calling and the pig piling. Give it a rest, please. This group doesn't exist solely for the personal entertainment of 2 or 3 people, and none of us should treat it as if it does. |
