Please take your obvious troll about dogs and euthanasia to the
appropriate
forum or NG. This is strictly a boating NG.




On a more serious note, it is worthwhile pondering just *what* Smithers
is doing in this newsgroup, as he never has anything of value to add to
boating or fishing discussions, and when he does post something that
isn't a direct or veiled insult, it usually is a newsclip he probably
finds by putting "boating" in his search engine. A lot of effort just to
have something-anything to post here that is on topic, eh?

Harry, I'd decided not to respond to obvious trolls, but I'll make an
exception.

I was the one who JimH was referring to in his comment, "... your obvious
troll about dogs and euthanasia..." Smithers had made a response to my
post.

Your post is nothing more than a personal attack against one who has made
no personal attacks against you, at least since Chuck's challenge. He has
added value to discussions, without veiled or direct insults, and has
seldom cut'n'pasted his comments. I won't get in to the number of your
posts that have been *only* personal attacks.

Why you find this behavior necessary is beyond me.

Right now, Senator Durbin is giving Alito the same ration of **** he's
gotten for many hours already. Why don't you go watch C-Span and enjoy the
day?

The problem is John that the *challenge* has gone a bit too far in that some
folks are now deciding what is and is not appropriate to post here. Pigs
and Nigerian scams are OK. Non political current events are not Go figure.

What I think about the new and improved NG:

I appreciate the new tone. However, I think that everyone needs to step
back and stop the netcopping (as I have been guilty of in the past, and
perhaps am guilty of with this post). I think folks should be allowed to
post whatever they want to. I think that folks should take it upon
themselves to decide what discussions they want to participate in. I think
some folks here need to remain consistent on what they find acceptable and
not acceptable here (I know I do).

What do you think?


I think I answered this one of the other times you posted it.
