Unfortunatly Harry, I think you've hit the nail on the head.
To me ..it's all or nothing. If we can have long posts on baking
brownies here (and I'm not complaining about that), then I feel that I
can post something that's important to me once in a while...even if it's
non-boating.

If a nail has been hit on the head it was wacked by your own guilty
conscience.

Go back and read my response to your OT post. Notice:

1) I empathized with your distress
2) I offered a positive suggestion about a group you might want to join
that could change the foreign policy of your country.
3) I observed that posting your complaint to a boating NG was a waste
of time.

I don't see where I posted, "What the hell are you doing, Don, putting
political BS in the NG?! Don't do this! Stop this!" etc. Harry's
hypersensitivity to any suggestion that we try to observe the common
courtesy of remaining on topic in a dedicated forum evoked a "whoop
whoop", and sucked you right in.

Because you know your post to a boating NG will do nothing to change
the foreign policy of Canada (and because you know it was ill-advised)
your own emotional reaction
created posts about "sticking to your own coast", etc.

I'm sure your distress in genuine, as was my suggestion that you look
into the Canadian peace activists group.

Sorry about your troops. Really.
You and Harry can carry on if you like, but I've wasted enough time on
this.

Chuck, you and JohnH need to stop the netcopping and let the NG find it's
own direction. You don't own the group and the 2 of you cause more problems
with the netcopping than if you just ignored the OT posts.

I'm not impartial. And I admit to being more alarmed when a person of
liberal persuasion behaves stupidly than when a person of conservative
persuasion behaves stupidly. The stupid behavior reflects badly upon
the political or philosophical positions the offender is claiming to
support. (Simply because I think there is no room for politics in a
boating newsgroup doesn't mean that I don't have political opinions).

That said, I have a lot more to do every day than hang out in the NG
watching for somebody to do something stupid. Sometimes I comment,
sometimes I don't, and sometimes I'm gone for a while actually using my
boat. (Novel concept, I know).
If you have missed my comments to JimH about some of his political
posts, that's too bad.

As a matter of fact, when any two persons are trading "slanderous,
malicious" posts, the situation is already so far out of control that
virtually everybody *except* the two fools
arguing over the internet has fled the thread.

A friend of mine has proposed a funny tee shirt for dog walkers. It
would read, "My life is controlled by the bowel movements of a dog". We
could have one for OT rec.boaters as well, ""My life is controlled by
the bad behavior of __________" (insert the name of your current NG
antagonist in the blank).

Nice response.

When one participates in a group called "rec.boats" the direction of
the group is predefined. Of course nobody owns the group. Some people
are free to post as much ridiculous, OT, inflammatory and personal
attack nonsense here as they want to- and others are free to comment
that it might be inappropriate to do so.

If appeals to remain on-topic make some individual posters
uncomfortable, so be it.

I'm wondering how long Jimmy's last apology to you, for this behavior,
lasted. Not long, I don't think.

You never answered my question from yesterday Kevin. Are you still
beating
your wife and kids?

I'm not Kevin, so I don't know whether he is or not. But, if you are
talking to ME, then when you answer my question to you, then I'll
answer. The question was, you have posted the question in a form that
would make one think that you have some knowledge of me beating my wife
and kids. What IS that knowledge? You see, you aren't bright enough to
form it so as to not make you look like you have some evidence of such
ie: "still". If you were a man instead of a little jerkboy, then if you
had some shred of common decency and had knowledge of me doing such,
you'd contact the proper authorities. Or, perhaps you are projecting.


Going off the deep end again Kevin?

So did you stop beating your wife and kids?

Projecting again? Is your wife really sick or does she have internal
injuries from you beating her? Jim, you truly are nothing but a piece
of ****. Your posts here prove you are such a low life. Again, you
slimeball, SHOW ME SOME EVIDENCE that I've ever beat my wife or kids.
HAVE ANY?? You are such a pathetic **** stain that you hide behind
usenet like a scared little baby. I tried to meet up with you, you
didn't have the balls, little man. BUT you certainly have when you're
behind usenet. What happened to you apologizing to the group as a whole
for your actions? I guess that went the way of MOST of your bipolar
rants.
Now, go beat your wife. Maybe you'll have to sell THIS boat.....

Is this the type of post you condone Chuck? Seems like you
netcops/sheriffs protect each others back. ;-)

Bipolar Boy strikes again. If JimH were anywhere near a stand up type
of man, he'd certainly quit accusing me and others of things that
aren't true, were never true, and utterly ridiculous. But, alas, he's
not a man.
