Sorry Chuck but boating is not in my blood 24x7. If this NG were
restricted
to such, it would soon die.

When "boating isn't in your blood", would it be entirely
inappropriate
to seek out a group that reflects your interests at the moment?

You must have, or should have, many other venues for self expression
besides a boating newsgroup.

For instance, if I want to indulge my interest in bagpiping I can
visit
a bagpipe site.
There are places I can go where other people *welcome* political
argument, and the sites are actually set up for that purpose. Same
with
most other topics.

Boating topics might "only" include fishing, exploring, navigating,
mechanical theory and adjustment, safety and first aid, ecology and
conservation, relevant rules and regulations, vessels of all types
large and small, wiring, plumbing, painting, the buying and selling
of
boats, seamanship, nautical books, weather, interesting destination
and
harborside attractions, recipes for food and drink served aboard,
cleaning and cosmetic maintenance, marine insurance and financing,
electronics, (and at least a dozen more that are a bit slower to
come
to mind). Perhaps you are right, and when these subjects are
exhausted
the NG will "die", but I personally don't sense much danger of that
happening any time soon.




All I did was report a news item. OT? Yep, as my life does not
revolve
around boating. The boaters I know have no problem talking about
things
that do not necessarily involve boating. You may be the exception.

Having said that.........if you or others chose to take my initial
post
down
the wrong path that is your problem.

Have a good evening Chuck.

BTW: How is the restoratation going on your boat?

See the post about "unusual paint" from last week. There isn't a lot
more to report since then, but I hope to get to Bellingham later
this
week and maybe spend another varnish day on Saturday.

Go pick a fight with someone else Chuck. I am done with this.

Have a great evening.
Typical, Jim starts a post intended to disrupt and start a frenzy, then
blames someone else for "pick(ing) a fight".


If you are not able to discuss things like an adult and avoid name
calling
and personal attacks that is not my problem Bassy.
Oh, you mean like you do:

I call any guy who *makes* his wife pee in a pail or *makes* them hold
it
till they get back to the marina (rather than providing a porta potty)
a
numbskull, unless of course that is her choice.

Thanks for pounding some sense into these numskulls who somehow think
it is
difficult to use and keep clean. ;-)

Your hard on for me continues.
Have a nice evening John. ;-)

Shove it Doug.

BTW: What is this hard on you continue to have toward me? I really
don't
get it

Hey dummy I am only following your example. I can understand why your
wife
left you
stick it up your ass.

Looks like you still have a hard on for me John. That's fine though.
Giddyup Sheriff!


Yes Bassy, exactly like that. If you notice, I have avoided that sort of
behavior now. Do you think you can do the same?


JimH,
I am glad to see you finally saw the light. I am surprised it took you
4 months to realize those posts, ****ing contest and trolls would result
in negative behavior in rec.boats.

Hopefully you will remember this the next time you want some excitement.

That's my story and I am sticking to it.

Giddyup, Sheriff (what comes around, goes around!)

But, if history is an indicator, in a month or so, you'll go off on
another foul language, name calling hate filled mean spirited diatribe.


Perhaps, but I guess it is better than one who goes off the deep end
everyday here.

Have a great day Bassy. ;-)
