Reggie, I thought you were fighting FOR the harmony of this newsgroup?
If so, then why the childish and petty insults?


This was not an insult or childish, if you can not figure out that Tom
was doing a parody of the two of you, you need to look up the
definition of parody and reread your post.


If you have read my responses to Tom, you'd know I fully realize it was
a joke, and told him so.

You just got finished



telling Tom that you can take and enjoy a joke, so obviously you did not
view it as an insult.


No, just your diabtribe. You meant it as an insult and you know it.
Don't give people here that *who me* crap, most here are smarter than
that.



I would hope that you would see how silly your post look, and Dan would
get bored with egging you on. It looks like you are the number one
poster in rec.boats, but it seems well over 50% of the exact same
comments over and over.


How silly my posts look? No matter what I post, be it on topic and
informative, or not, there is Dan stalking me. I find it funny how you
instantly blame every damned thing that happens in this newsgroup on
me! You never, ever lay blame on the people, such as Dan, that start
and keep up this horse****.


Once again, you are wrong and/or a liar.

You had 130 more posts than I did for those 12 days! Your puppy dog had
76. Get your facts straight, boy, you are looking dumber every day.

And here he is again!
Infatuation.......
Infatuation......
It's driving Dan crazy......
It's making Dan CRRRAAAZZZYYY.......


I sure hope you don't live near an 'Elm Street' Bassy!
Freddy...er Dan , is really getting freaky.


Don, if you're going to puppy-dog basskisser, you ought to do it in a
different thread. This thread title isn't very complimentary to your guy.


Well...isn't that sweet! You seem concerned for Basskisser.
If this newfound concern is genuine, how about taking the Dans, the
Frizzles, the Calif Bills and the rest of the nano-nutz characters to
task for simply coming here to agitate and cause the newsgroup disharmony.

Good idea! All you guys quit agitating basskisser!

A little less name calling all around might be a good thing, huh?

Please don't agitate basskisser! I promise not to respond to any of his
posts either!

Jack,
Instead of placing blame on anyone, let's just chill out and assume that
everyone is interested in a less confrontation group. If we all
ignore anyone who comes into the group looking for a ****ing contest,
those who really come here for trash talk will get bored and move on.

If only that were true. The worst offenders were here when I arrived,
and those same loonies are still here, still doing the same things.
They won't (can't?) control their behavior, and there's no reason to
think that we can control them, either.

I've tried in the past to strike a "cease-fire" with Don, but he would
never agree. After that I took a hiatus from the NG, but as soon as I
posted a couple of times, he (and others I never addressed) started
the attacks. As I read the NG during my posting absence, it was clear
that even though several people attempted to clean it up, nothing
changed.

I'll sign on and give it a try... again. But you watch and see. The
same people again will be the ones who will not agree to change, and
will be the first to cross the line... again. They aren't boaters,
they just want to insult and argue. This NG *today* is the NG *they*
want.

I disagree.

The cure is to totally ignore them. Stop replying since that is their
fuel and oxygen.

If you just can't do that, put them in your kill file so you never see
the post in the first place. Most of the prime offenders have
*nothing* to say about boats or boating, so you will have lost
nothing.

Try it, you might like it.

Lead by example.

You could help by posting something positive instead of your same old
trash.

Why don't you go do what you do best...and spare us the details.
