I guess that if the rec.boats NG becomes a place where people go to discuss boats and boating, rather than engage in political arguments, that makes it somehow "dumb"? I would imagine that if you tried to hold boating discussions on either the "Liberals are trying to destroy our Christian country" group or "Conservatives are robbing the poor to enhance the rich" group, that would be dazzlingly brilliant? Phuk politics. Trying to differentiate between one gang of thieves (Rs) and another (Ds) is wearisome. Boating is supposed to be about recreation, and that would include civil social interaction among people who may not agree on everything politically. You and I may agree on a lot of political principles, but within the last several months I have reached an opinion that no political principles are well served when they are used as a wedge to screw up and disrupt groups brought together for other purposes. I could be wrong. Certainly if the majority of the newsgorup wants to continue the political bitchiness and flame throwing it is more than welcome to- the only difference is that I won't be participating in those activities. I suffer no delusion that it's up to me to determine the direction of the NG, but as you have expressed your opinion that the group without political strife is "dumbed down," I have expressed my counter perspective as well. Have a pleasant day. |
