Precisely.

The real problem is inflammatory behavior.

The name calling and mudslinging that erupts in threads titled: "George
Bush is a So and So" or "Liberals are All Such and Such" oozes
throughout every thread in the group.
The wars that start elsewhere creep into the "on-topic" threads as soon
as one of the participants in the current flame war addresses the topic
and his or her antagonist(s) come screaming in to make nasty personal
remarks.

The problem is inflammatory behavior. Nicely put.

I'm waiting for your input on the type of rags you prefer to use when
waxing your boat. I prefer diapers.


Speaking of rags or diapers ... if you haven't try out the new microfiber
towels sold in many automotive type stores. They are great for removing
wax, drying a car or boat or any other cleaning, waxing or polishing job.
Far superior to anything else I've ever used and they are washable, so the
investment isn't a one time usage.

Chuck,
It appears that most of the people have made a legitimate effort to stop the
name calling and trolling for political arguments.

It also appears that the ONLY reason Harry comes to rec.boats is to insult
people, call them names and troll for political arguments.

The only way Harry will ever stop trolling in rec.boats is if all of us
ignore him. He will not change, but he will find another group more
conducive to what he is looking for.

Nope.
One must be 18 years old in order to apply for welfare.
You know better than that.

You want to pull children out of
school so they can work service-sector jobs for you?

Many of them will end up there anyway, so why wait?




Thank you. We don't have many of your stripe in here willing to publicly
admit what most believe.




Why not take it to one of the 29 groups at this link, where people
routinely gather to make personal remarks and talk politics?


http://www.politicalindex.com/sect29.htm


With any luck, there are now fewer posters at rec.boats who somehow got
the NG confused with a mud wrestling site. Let's try and avoid letting
the crap start flying again. It only takes a few adults to break the
cycle.

This NG is supposed to be about boating. How many guys to you see out
fishing who are yelling at the guys in neighboring boats, calling names
and arguing politics? Guaranteedalideed that everybody targeting a
school of fish doesn't agree about politics, but that doesn't seem to
make political argument the appropriate subject matter for general
discussion.

Try to be nice, Harry. There was no call for your remark about "people
of your stripe" and etc, and really no reason for you and Don to argue
about welfare in rec.boats.

I recommend them for the 'ME'. They're all the Mustang ever feels.

Chill out, Chuck. I was merely complimenting the poster on his honesty.
I offered him no argument.
==================================

I commend Chuck for taking the time and effort.



I second that.


It's up to you Harry whether or not you want to be part of the problem
or part of the solution.

"Off topic" is only part of the issue. The REAL problem is
inflammatory behavior, and although you are not the only guilty party,
I believe you are capable of leading the effort to keep it under
control.



He remains the only guilty party for several weeks now Wayne.

Unfortunately I do not think that Harry can accept the fact that this NG
no longer belongs to him and he will keep on kicking and screaming until
folks finally just learn to ignore him.

Harry, accept the change or you will be soon just talking to yourself
here.

I use a power buffer with the appropriate foam pads or wool pad.

I use the random orbit Porter-Cable 7424 for both polishing and waxing. I
often finish it up the job with a cotton towel.



Also, do you use Windex or Glass Plus on your boat;s windows? I find the
scent of Glass Plus more pleasant.



Actually I use automotive glass cleaner. It comes in an aerosol can and
foams. It does a great job of cleaning dirty windows. ;-)

Betcha otherwise. Borrow somebody elses bright, shiney, BLACK car and wax
on/wax off with a random orbit polisher. Then, in twilight, stand back and
admire the swirls.

I do not own a black car or a black boat so I would not know. I also use a
polish (3M Finesse It II) prior to the wax application.

All I know is that I never had a problem with mine and professional
detailing and body shops use electric polishers, including random orbit,
everyday.

Perhaps the black car you saw needed a good polish and rewax job. ;-)
