I see that Chuck has taken it upon himself to appoint himself as
Extreme Ruler and Grand Poobah of rec.boats. Now if anyone attempts to
post something that he, and he only deems not worthy of his eyes, he
takes it upon himself to change the subject to something stupid. How
does everyone else feel about that? Do you need someone to proofread
your posts, and edit the subject line for you? I don't. I can damned
well choose what I want to read by myself.

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?

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.

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.

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've decided to . Chuck's posts. They're more annoying than the occasional
OT or SPAM.


I'm an so high on potato chips, I really don't care about the queen's dot
messages.

I find it amusing how you pick and choose off topic posts to **** on,
Chuck. How come SOME here can post off topic, political flame fests and
you don't do a damned thing about it, then someone else does it, and
you instantly put on your paper hat and play god of rec.boats? Perhaps
you should get off of your high horse. YOU post off topic, also, and
YOU participate in off topic posts. Do you find yourself annoying? As
for your statement that my life must be "one empty place"... YOU used
to be one of the top producers of off topic political posts, was YOUR
life "one empty place"? Further, to take the task of deciding who's off
topic political posts gets past your Grand Poobah eye of approval and
who's doesn't, then writing a 100 line disseration on it would leave
one to believe YOUR life is "one empty place".....

Bass,

You did ask for people's opinion.

Chuck gave you his opinion.

If you don't care for his opinion, ignore his posts.

But, have you ever thought of subscribing to some political NG's and
post political posts there, and post boating posts in rec.boats? That
way you could make as many political posts as you wanted, no one would
bitch about it, and you would be contributing to making rec.boats a fun
place to discuss boating topics.

Don't you agree that silly name calling can get very old very fast?

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.
