John,

His comments really don't bother or annoy me. It's entertaining reading his
very predictable and asinine responses.

You are indeed obsessed with me John.

You said you had me killfiled yet respond to a post not concerning you.

Sick.

Regarding Richy Rich.........he has launched attacks on me and I am
responding.

It is very telling that you snipped all previous responses to the
thread you quoted.

Your agenda is quite clear John.......to lie and incite arguments here.

Have a super evening John.........go start a fight with someone else.

I'm sure they don't, and many do provide a sick sort of humor. But, his
comments are not the kind of behavior that should be condoned by anyone. He
was quite proud of the pictures of his house, and got very angry when Harry
made comments about them. For him to make comments about anyone's good
fortune is inappropriate as hell.

Yet another 3rd grade 'nanananbooboo' post from John. This has to be
the 6th in the last year, with several others (besides me) being your
targets.

What I now find funny is that you previously stated you killfiled me
yet you seem to respond (negatively) to every post I make. ;-)

If you don't like what I have to say then indeed killfile and ignore
me. You do not own this NG even though you act as though you do.

Giddyup!

Most of his tripe is meaningless. But when I saw his comment in your

works well until someone quotes him!

Richard,
You are correct, a true troll really doesn't care how silly he looks,
his objective is to find something that will incite long asinine
threads. The only effective method of combating trolls is to ignore
them, and at times that can be difficult, especially if they hit a
personal hot button (as with JohnH and his fund raising efforts).

If you look at different NG's there are always trolls, and there is
nothing to get rid of them, the key is for the regulars not to get
sucked in.

In that case, my advice would be to try to be the "bigger" man.
Stooping to the attacker's level simply means that two people are
playing the fool. The party who accused you of lying about matching
donations to your daughter's cancer fund has alienated himself, at
least temporarily, in a way that we haven't seen since that Bayliner
owner from Kansas last hung around here. Even Bert and Fritz, a couple
of guys never bashful about sharing opinions about other people, have
told him to cool it, (see "is it time for the group to designate...").
If he persists, he will find himself Skipperized in short order- but
you don't want to go down in the flames of his self destruction.

Why not publicly bury the hatchet with the guy and just start over? It
doesn't matter whether
one of you guys is right and the other is wrong, you are both wrong if
you launch threads simply to attack the other guy. Heck, it doesn't
even need to be some long dramatic self effacing event. Here's all it
takes to put this thing to rest.

1. Here's a virtual peace pipe: (careful, it was packed by a liberal
so you don't know just what sort of wacky tabacky it might contain
grin)

2. To end the dispute, simply respond to this thread with the single
word "Toke". If you each take a toke, it's over, everybody's even, and
life goes on. Everybody forgives and forgets, no strings attached.

This would work with the majority of people, but there are some that can
be be handled by just ignoring them. There are some who knowingly lie,
just so they can start a fight (i am thinking about someone who has done
with numerous times, (ie two quick examples are when he said you
published his home address and phone number and started 100's of post
calling you what a low life dog for publishing his personal info. When
he found out someone had cached the web site, he suddenly sheepishly
apologized).

This kind of person is best ignored.

Plenty of peace pipe to go around. :-)

We see the best and the worst of ourselves reflected in the people
around us. It's my opinion that if we expect to grow and improve as
individuals, we have to get past the point where we dwell on the
(perceived) faults of others. Two reasons; 1) if we can't forgive our
worst faults personified by others we will never get free of the burden
those same faults place on our own spiritual or pyschological progress.
2) Just as we all, individually, combine some extremely worthy as well
as some extremely unworthy aspects so do the people we encounter
throughout life. If we focus on the unworthiness of others we cannot
adequately appreciate their worth- and it is only the worthiness of our
brothers and sisters that enriches our own lives. As I said, that's my
opinion. Your mileage may vary, and if it does that's still pretty much
OK.

come back and stay on topic, never taking blame for his own actions, or

probably sounds very familiar!!!!! We'll have to clock the cycles to

pictures of his boat, his house, his car, etc. Now he is being
attacked for
doing so, and in a way that, to me, is despicable.

"Is this appropriate behavior?"

Are referring to your post, launched as nothing more than a personal
remark about another poster in an effort to perpetuate a feud?

If so, then my answer would be "no."
No Chuck, I'm referring to a personal attack of a viciousness which is
despicable. As long as folks condone that behavior, it will
continue. I can
put up with political posting much better than with this crap.
--
In that case, my advice would be to try to be the "bigger" man.
Stooping to the attacker's level simply means that two people are
playing the fool. The party who accused you of lying about matching
donations to your daughter's cancer fund has alienated himself, at
least temporarily, in a way that we haven't seen since that Bayliner
owner from Kansas last hung around here. Even Bert and Fritz, a couple
of guys never bashful about sharing opinions about other people, have
told him to cool it, (see "is it time for the group to designate...").
If he persists, he will find himself Skipperized in short order- but
you don't want to go down in the flames of his self destruction.

Why not publicly bury the hatchet with the guy and just start over? It
doesn't matter whether
one of you guys is right and the other is wrong, you are both wrong if
you launch threads simply to attack the other guy. Heck, it doesn't
even need to be some long dramatic self effacing event. Here's all it
takes to put this thing to rest.

1. Here's a virtual peace pipe: (careful, it was packed by a liberal
so you don't know just what sort of wacky tabacky it might contain
grin)

2. To end the dispute, simply respond to this thread with the single
word "Toke". If you each take a toke, it's over, everybody's even, and
life goes on. Everybody forgives and forgets, no strings attached.


Any takers? ("tokers")? :

Chuck,

This would work with the majority of people, but there are some that can
be be handled by just ignoring them. There are some who knowingly lie,
just so they can start a fight (i am thinking about someone who has done
with numerous times, (ie two quick examples are when he said you
published his home address and phone number and started 100's of post
calling you what a low life dog for publishing his personal info. When
he found out someone had cached the web site, he suddenly sheepishly
apologized).

This kind of person is best ignored.

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


Plenty of peace pipe to go around. :-)

We see the best and the worst of ourselves reflected in the people
around us. It's my opinion that if we expect to grow and improve as
individuals, we have to get past the point where we dwell on the
(perceived) faults of others. Two reasons; 1) if we can't forgive our
worst faults personified by others we will never get free of the burden
those same faults place on our own spiritual or pyschological progress.
2) Just as we all, individually, combine some extremely worthy as well
as some extremely unworthy aspects so do the people we encounter
throughout life. If we focus on the unworthiness of others we cannot
adequately appreciate their worth- and it is only the worthiness of our
brothers and sisters that enriches our own lives. As I said, that's my
opinion. Your mileage may vary, and if it does that's still pretty much
OK.

Chuck,
Can you hear the music in the background? Listen closely, I think it is
Kumbaya, but I am not sure.

Have a great day, and your boat's paint job really looks nice, can you
imagine how slow and careful you will be docking and hauling your anchor
for the next few years.


PS - This reminds me of a boat I saw being launch on a quiet weekday.
It was a old woody Chris Craft runabout, in PERFECT condition. The guy
has spent 2 years doing the work himself, but it looked like it was done
by pros.

He was by himself, so I went down to help (and check out his boat). He
launched his boat, and asked me if I would drive his car and trailer to
the parking lot. As I came back to work on my boat, I saw him trying to
back the woody into an empty slip, when they wind gusted and caught the
boat. The metal slip did not have any fenders and he made a 2 ft. gash
along the side.

That made me cringe, I can't imagine how he felt. Since then I have
always remembered, fenders are your friends.

A swift kick in the ass is just as effective and works a heck of a lot
faster.

Chuck's boat only goes slow.

Harry,

Then he will only get slow dings and dents in his boat. ;)

Harry, when I was younger, I always was in a rush to get somewhere, now
that I am older and dumber, I try to enjoy the trip as much as the
destination.

I was surprised that you would really consider spending $12,000 so you
can go 5 mph faster on the few days when the bay is calm enough so you
could actually go 30mph at 4000 rpm. Between the wind,, and the wake
chop, that must be 3 or 4 days a year. ; )

I really figure it was an mental exercise you were playing with, but
you really would have some other toy you would prefer over a new engine.
Heck, now that I own a Nikon D50, I could spend $12,000 just on new
lens, monopods, tripods, tutorials, software etc. I have the new 18-200
mm on order, they guess it will be 4-6 weeks before it is in. I just got
off the phone with Nikon, they tell me I really don't need a UV or Clear
Lens filter to protect this lens, they say if I do scratch the exterior
lens, it is fairly easy to replace. They told me the idea that one
needs a UV lens filter to protect your lens is a carry over from the old
lens.

On a positive side, this is a hobby both my wife and I enjoy, and the
learning curve seems to be very steep, so one does not get bored.

Chuck, perhaps you are seeing things that don't exist. I'm referring to a
behavior pattern. You call it a 'personal attack'. I have no desire to
perpetuate a feud with JimH. I do find his venomous attacks on Rich to be
despicable. I think anyone should be able to post pictures of their house,
boat (s), horses, dogs, or whatever, without the name-calling and envy
being displayed by JimH.

You seem to disregard the behavior in question and, instead, focus on the
personalities. Forget the personalities for a minute. Do you find the
behavior appropriate?

I wish I'd had some on the Mustang yesterday. I parked it at a Home Depot,
about half a mile from the entrance. When I came out, I found some chunks
of paint taken off the left rear bumper (plastic). Luckily it hadn't been
hit hard enough to damage the bumper, but it's costing $439 to get the
paint fixed.

Bumpers would have been my friend, even though they'd look a little weird
on a Mustang in a Home Depot parking lot.
