Good job man - damn good job.

Careful, he'll think you're complimenting him.

Hey Kanter...
 

The problem with that whole thread is that not only did some lunatic kick it
off, a whole bunch of
people like JoesBedroom felt they had to add fuel to the fire. If you are going
to blame people
for that overlong thread, make sure you include everyone.

And to answer any allegations that I am just in it for the politics, I have been
a boat owner and
sailor for 35 years. I have almost exclusively posted items directly related to
boating on this forum
and other boat related forums. I do not subscribe to any of the political
forums. However, when
I see garbage like this on a boating site, I feel compelled to answer it.

I like Doug - he is witty and engaging. It's when he gets on his high
horse and starts "discussing" minutia of an event that has already
been sliced, diced and parsed in a bizillion ways long before. He
attracts others who don't have his sense of history and perspective,
not to mention his basic intelligence, then he gets frustrated with
them and discussions degenerate into who can **** on who's shoes the
longest.

And that's annoying.

Fine, but I'll say the same thing to you that I said to Doug.

There is a point in time where it becomes useless and pointless to
continue. Quite frankly, nobody cares other than four or five
individuals who seem to want to **** on each other's shoes and carry
the discussion beyond what is reasonable.

OT is fine and I don't have the same problem with it that Chuck and
some others do - OT contributions can be fun and enlightening.


Until the grudges that get formed in the OT arguments begin creeping
into the on-topic threads. Until one day the NG header lists reads like
it did a year or so ago, with every 3rd or 4th header a personal attack
along the line of "So-and-so is a dirtbag liar" etc.

Folks who fail to find boating fun and/or discussion about the same
enlightening would be better advised to seek out newsgroups that better
reflect their interests than to clutter up a newsgroup organiized
around a specific "focus" with a steady stream of OT nonsense.

Anybody who has observed rec.boats for more than a week knows that
(like most NG's) the mixture of personalities here cannot discuss
certain topics in a rational manner. Fortunately, none of those topics
is boating related- so there's no damn reason except "bored and looking
for a fight" to introduce them.

I added fuel to the fire? You attempted to turn a discussion of military
policy into some bull**** about anti-Semitism. You really need to be taken
out behind a dark building and have your kneecaps permanently modified.

Hey Kanter...
 

You are a pretty tough guy when you can hide behind your PC.

These unnatural repetitious accusations against Israel can only be interpreted
as anti-Semitism. Your focus on this incident making it seem unique shows
you have a hidden agenda. Your comments draw out the bigots who spew their
venom, even if those are not your original intentions. That whole thread had no

place in a forum on boating. It was a political discussion that should never
have
been put on a boating forum, and you just encouraged it.

Look at the header. It was anti-semite from the top.

and you know what? the people that actually started that idiotinc
thread, got what they wanted. They posted and never once came back to
get in on it.

Talk about laughing your way to the bank!

Hopefully, you are not involved in any business or pastime in which your
"interpretations" affect other people.

Italy is largely Catholic. If I criticise Italy's foreign policies, does
that mean I'm anti-Catholic?

You cannot compare the majority religion of Italy to the State of Israel.
Now if you refer to the Vatican inside Italy but an autonomous state
within a state, that's another story.

You've lost all traction in your anti-Semitism theory. Give it up. I don't
give a damn WHAT religion predominates in Israel when I comment on their
political policies. YOU are focused on religion.
