Bassy,
Since you realize rec.boats is not real life, why do you get yourself
worked up into a tizzy so often? The antagonistic individuals who loved
to have long name calling flamefest have for the most part left
rec.boats and moved onto other forums for name calling and fighting,
take a chill pill and enjoy life.

I'm not worked up, and I enjoy the hell out of life!

Do you enjoy all the arguing you do here on rec.boats?

I can't believe this.............

That has to be one of the most empty responses I have ever read.

Really? Do you think one should always, in all situations use
restraint? Perhaps you should tell all of the policemen and women of
the world that, along with all military persons.

You stupid idiot!!!!! You just CAN'T get it right, can you? I NEVER,
EVER said the earth was 6000 years old. You can't possibly be that
senile.......can you?


If you teach Karate, if you are a black belt, then what do you teach
your students about self control? Do you teach them to never walk
away, but hold your ground and kick ass no matter how trivial the
confrontation.... even if just walking away would be infinitely
simpler?

Take a deep breath and a few steps back. See if you are handling these
words in a way that you would like your students to handle them.



He probably teaches them to stand there and get their asses handed to
them, all the while claiming they are "winning" the same thing that
happens to kevin here on the NG

Now, that is some really clear, deep, and incontrovertible logic!

Can you perceive any difference between a physical attack with the
intent of serious bodily injury or death vs. carrying on a verbal
****ing contest far beyond any hope of either side persuading the
other of anything.

Did you happen to see the part I wrote about rec.boats vs. real
life????

After the first exchange or two it carries the same weight as a couple
of 4 year olds throwing sand at each other. If you can't walk away
from that, well, I just don't know.....

Then stop, Gene!

I do hate to kill entire threads when something of value might happen,
but I'm certainly not going to stay in the sandbox with the
children..... and I suspect your readership is dwindling for the same
reason...

I don't come here to garner "readership". so, moot point.

I can't believe this.............

I did. If you don't understand my answer, let me know.

I did. It was unresponsive. You didn't indicate your level of
enjoyment from your constant arguing in this NG, which was my
question. You ony stated your self-perceived purpose in this NG,
which was not my question to you.

Anyway, I'm about to go out of town again, so I won't be replying for
a while. But the basic premise I was driving at is just as many
others have tried to tell you, so here's my turn at it...

You say this NG isn't real life and that you enjoy life. However, it
appears that the thing that you enjoy most is arguing in this NG.

I don't know what your life is really like, or how old you are, or
what your real profession is. The only thing any of us have to go on
is the perception you put out here in rec.boats.

The image you project is that you're about 17-25, never been laid,
non-professional, maybe even developmentally challenged. Probably not
a boat owner, and not very worldly or successful. Keep in mind that
I'm not calling you these things, just stating that this is the image
you portray on this NG.

If you're married, as you say you are, then I give you this challenge.
Call your wife into the room, and get her to read a few of the
exchanges you've been involved in the last few days.

You won't do it. Because if you did, you'd be in the spare bedroom
with Joe for the next few weeks.

Think about it.

I can't believe this.............

How about 12-17?
