Do I get on your case a lot for making OT political posts. Yeah.
Suppose that could be because you do it a lot?

What about being fair about it then, Chuck? Be an ass to Tom every time
HE posts off topic. It's odd how you pick and choose who to **** on for
posting off topic. JohnH can post off topic all day long, not a word
said by you.

You do have a point though. I should be consistent. I'll try not to let
any of your political manure go under the radar in the future.

What consistent would be, would be if you **** on EVERYONE'S off topic
posts, not just pick and choose.

You also need to tune up your own poobah eye a bit. I tossed a bit of
flak at one of your favorite posters, who is an arch conservative, just
like I did you this morning.

I never said that you chose by political persuasion. I don't know how
you choose, I only know that you do. Seems as though your buddies can
post off topic all day long, nothing said.

By the way, I can write 100 lines of stuff appropriate for the NG in
about 10 minutes. Don't flatter yourself that I spend any time at it.

What is appropriate here? What does all of your above ranting have to
do with boats?

I'll type a bit more slowly this time and see if I'm able to
communicate my entire thought.

There's a difference between Tom's multiple OT posts everyday, (such as
"I got stung by a bee") and your cut n pastes of controversial
political crap. Some people think we all care what they had for
breakfast that morning, and use the NG like a blog. You post stuff here
primarily to pick fights, (evidence, once the fight starts you join in
with a will and never again refer to the topic you cut and pasted- it
becomes all about whether or not you're an asshole, whether or not
somebody else might be one, and whether or not your name is Kevin).
You're don't seem all that passionately commited to the causes and
principles you promote, you're simply adopting progressive positions in
order to evoke a reaction from outraged conservatives.

Try posting "I bought a new TV remote control this morning!" or some
other OT stuff not intended to start a fight and you'll get no more
grief from me than do most of the guys posting their local weather
reports, the score of the high school football game, or tips on how to
change the blade on a John Deere rotary lawn mower.

do with boats?


It has to do with the health and welfare of the boating NG. Something
you don't give a schlitz about, judging from your consistent actions.
Care to compare boating content contributed to the NG in the last 90
days? How about the number of OT political posts, name calling
sessions, etc? I thought not.

You may be smart enough to choose what you want to read, all by
yourself, but you must be too dam* dumb to know how to navigate to the
appropriate newsgroups to post your political nonsense.

There is no ruler or poohbah at rec.boats. This is a group organized so
people can get together on the net and discuss boats, boating, and
boating related topics. Imagine a few guys hanging out at a waterfront
coffee shop to discuss boats. Along comes some jerk who
jumps into the middle of he conversation and says, "Hey, what do you
think about those terrorist-sympathizing, Clinton appointed Democratic
judges?" or "Look what the Idiot In Chief wants to do next in Iraq!"

Some of the guys gathered to discuss boats would be polite enough to
keep their mouths shut and endure the annoying jerk, for at least a
while. Others aren't so polite, or so patient.

Ask yourself this, as you swoon over your self centered reflection in
the nearest available mirror. What is worse? Changing the header on a
single topic, or trying to fu*k up the newsgroup? Despite owning some
little skiff and going fishing once in a while, you seldom express any
interest in boating related topics. You're far more interested in
GD'ing
George Bush and stirring up political nonsense than in talking boats,
so the obvious question is: Why the hell don't you take your political
garbage off to some newsgroup or discussion group organized for that
purpose?

You shouldn't be surprised when boaters get ****ed off at non boaters
trying to turn the boating discussion group into a political campaign
platform. For either side.

But if you keep practicing your outrageous and inconsiderate behavior,
don't be surprised when once in a while one of the boaters calls you to
task for it. A few others who know darn well who they are can expect
the same as well.

So, what's worse? Changing the header on a post or raising your middle
finger to the basic purposes for which a group has gathered and
insisting that you *should* be allowed your daily political rant and
name-calling marathons? You life must be one empty place if you have to
post ridiculously off topic political stuff to a boating NG just to
fill the time.

How does it feel to be the annoyed, instead of the one annoying, for a
change?

Putting killfilters on basskisser and JimH has greatly cut down on the
number of original headers I see from them, and I've found I've not missed
much.

You continue to spend your time naming me in your posts. When was the last
*on topic* post you made John? ;-)

I support any attempt to keep this group on topic. Is it so hart to
figure out when to find a group that is discussing the topic you want to
discuss?

If you want politics go to "where the pros are and take them on"

So I guess if Chuck wnats to be the Supreme Ruler it is ok with me. As
long as he wants to keep things on topic :-)

If you can chose what you want to read, and you don't like Chuck's post,
why don't you chose not read them.

I find the silly OT Trolls that are designed to encourage long OT
threads where a people engage in name calling and repeating the same
political BS very boring. These political and religious trolls
discourages boating discussions and chases away boaters that might
actually want to discuss boats.

I know there are many boaters who enjoy long silly political arguments
where no one opinions are changed, but why don't they just subscribe to
both rec.boats and a political NG.

I for one find the political and religious trolls to be much worse than
Chuck comments about the trolls.

If you can chose what you want to read, and you don't like Chuck's post,
why don't you chose not read them.

What do I feel?

I feel that almost every post Chuck makes to this group is intended to
either inform, stimulate, add substance, or protect original intent of this
group.
You on the other hand mainly make posts to inflame, harass, and destroy the
original intent of this group.

I also feel that your actions here are a microcosm of the extreme political
discourse in this country. In the old days an idiot was an idiot and was
treated as such- no matter the political ideology.
These days people like you (on the left and right) are tolerated by the
intelligent since they are viewed to be "on the same side".
It's high time each side put people like you in their place, in politics and
in this group.
