Sorry that your dozens of questions were ignored by the participants
here.

but all I see is petty bickering, foul language and outright racism.


Most of the racism is cross posted from other groups. We have one or
more rec.boats participants who frequent some of those boards, and the
garbage sort of sticks to their shoes. Petty bickering and foul
language? Yeah- but you should have seen us last year.
If all you can see is the negative stuff, you aren't looking very hard.

All this stuff I don't need to hear about so I am out of here.


G'bye.


Too bad there are no moderators to keep this stuff out. I wonder how
many others have left cause of these problems as well.


Hundreds over the years.

There are a couple of moderated sites you might enjoy. They don't allow
any political statements (unless they agree with the moderator's point
of view) and they tend to be commercial fronts for specific products
and services.....(just try to post something negative about a towing
service, etc, on some of them)....but you won't see much name calling.

Good luck
