Chuck! Are you setting a good example with this psyco babble? It appears as
if you are trolling for trolls. " Do as I say, not as I do" appears to fit
here.

I plan to needle most everybody who tries to take this group back to
the mess it used to be.

It's funny that with this thread, you unload with the mean-spirited
"psyco babble" that you did, but in Harry's "meat whiner" post, that
you are politically aligned with, the best you could do was "This
message brought to you by Trollamatic of MD. :-)"

Why not the soft-messaged smiley-face for this thread? Is it because
your political leanings are aligned with the "meat whiner" post, and
not this one? You are no better than the others.

Yep. Yet I find you constantly blaming the authors of the thread for the
behavior of others.

Thanks for making a point I have been trying to make for several months.


I blame the originators of OT threads for originating OT threads.
I would be fascinated to learn how their behavior is really somebody
elses' fault or responsibility.

Some of Chuck's loudest and strongest comments have been directed
towards those he agrees with politically.

You are completely mistaken on this one.

Possibly. I don't read every post. I did happen to see the two I
referenced, so that was my take on it.

Speaking of newsgroup poop ploppers, there's the always reliable Jackoff.

And there's alway Harry, our favorite Cluster B disorder.

I guess the only thing on my side that isn't offset by something on
your side is the fact that
most people would think it rather reasonable to assume that a group
called rec.boats would be about boating.

Interesting concept but highly radical.

Chuck, keep up the good fight, I believe the majority are solidly
behind you.

I think the most compelling reasons to avoid politics and flame fests
are that 1) It drives away people who may have solid contributions to
make but may not have time or inclination to sort through BS; and 2)
It raises the noise level to such an extent that finding worthwhile on
topic content becomes difficult.

When the experts stop visiting, and we do have some, the whole news
group becomes irrelevant.

Or to put it another way, if you don't have anything to say about
boats, don't say it here.

Chuck,
I know when you are debating this topic with JimH, you really don't
expect to convince him that rec.boats is a better place without the name
calling, inflammatory topics and political trolls, but are really using
this as a venue to get on your soapbox for all the others who might want
to jump on board. It appears that the majority of the people have
agreed they prefer a kinder and gentler rec.boats.

There are a few others who are always looking for a fight, and they will
try different bait till they get some action. I have noticed that most
of the regulars are now ignoring their trolls. Since I have tried
(semi-effectively) to ignore the trolls, I have found most of the people
I disagree with politically to be enjoyable folk. I also find rec.boats
to be more enjoyable place to waste some time.

Thanks for your subtle (and not so subtle reminders).
