You know, John is right, in so far as Skipper provides enough goofy OP
threads suitable for ridicule, without polluting threads he didn't
start as a troll.

"Brunswick and Other Legends", "Croakers, Grunts 'n Mackerel", "The
Real West", and "East Coast Fish Stocks Depleted" are great examples
of ridiculous trolling that deserves derision.... not so, other
threads that Skipper hasn't injected his peculiar peccadilloes
into....

Sorry I offended you Gene. I thought my post was funny and was not
disturbing to the thread in general.

But if you and John want to improve the NG how about focusing on Skipper,
the one who is actively trying to disrupt the group rather than on the one
joke I made that I thought would be appreciated.

Wearing a badge and trying to act tough to folks who actively contribute to
the NG and have it's interest at hand is not productive.


Jim do you remember how offended you became when JohnH asks an on topic
question in the middle of a post you started?

Can you imagine how frustrated Richard is when his serious request for
marina recommendations becomes nothing more than a long string of
"Giddy Up Sheriff" and "who are you to tell me I hijack a thread with
politics."

We need to get back to making non inflammatory posts or rec.boats will
revert to it's old ways very quickly.

I don't get frustrated. I've been here for a long, long time.

Some of it is funny as hell.

Foul-mouthed name calling is just plain dumb and is not needed, nor is
perpetual political posting.
But occasional OT posts and spirited "debates" are often interesting .... or
at least entertaining.

Maybe not in mold of original Usenet protocols, but that's my feeling.
Things change.
