Hey, BTW .... (risking arrest or worse from certain NetCops) ....
I've been listening to John Edwards a bit recently. He's matured quite a
bit.
Actually makes some sense.

See if you can find similar maturity. If you inist on making a
political statement in rec.boats, do so without trying to shift the
guilt to anybody who might, (omigod!), express an opinion that such
posts are inappropriate in a boating forum. Just stand up like a man
and be political. No need to add personal remarks as seasoning. If you
can't take the heat that might result from somebody freely expressing
an opinion about your post, don't make it.

Good grief. I knew it.

Gould, this may come as a shock to your oversized ego, but I really don't
give a rat's ass what you think, your NG directives, your opinions or your
boring, self-serving essays that you call OT boating posts. I am likely a
lot more mature than you, given the fact that I came to realize I am a mere
mortal many years ago and not all that important in the grand scheme of
things.

Well then that should eliminate any need to express a fear that
someobdy might dare to comment about whether a political post is
appropriate, shouldn't it?

Actions speak a lot louder than words.

Since you posed that as a question, I'll answer it this way;

You take yourself way too seriously.

Richard,
Any post that starts comparing
Bush, Cheney, and Rumsfeld?

Moe, Larry, and Shemp?

Huey, Dewey, and Louie?

really isn't interested in any kind of discussion, they are looking for
a way to start a flame fest. Forget about if rec.boats is really the
correct forum for a political discussion and if I would enjoy a nice
political discussion every now and then. I might think the current
administration is a bunch of low life scum, but I know I could never
have a political discussion in rec.boats. You and I have been reading
rec.boats long enough to realize rec.boats has NEVER had an intelligent
political discussion. It very quickly becomes a venue to call others
"assholes", scumbags, etc. The person who started this thread has stated
numerous times, he has no desire to discuss boating in rec.boats, he
finds the topics boring and repetitive. He has also stated he doesn't
believe the right wing scum who pollute this NG are worth anything more
than a one line insult.

History has shown us that inflammatory political discussion in
rec.boats, and the name calling will quickly spread into EVERY on topic
thread in rec.boats.

Since this is a non moderated NG, if the majority really want rec.boats
to become a rec.political.flamefest, that is what it will become. I may
not agree with Chuck's style when he highlights OT political posts, but
I do agree that political posts and discussion does eliminate any hope
of this being a friendly group to have any kind of discussion.

Mr. Gould
Indeed they do. Before you go completely incoherent, tell us why anyone
should "give a rat's ass" what you think.

No one should give a rat's ass what he thinks, but what do you think
about someone whose only objective is to call people who respond to an
OT polical troll, assholes?

If I express an opinion, everybody is free to give whatever portion of
a rat, (or not), that they deem appropriate.

Part of the risk of expressing an opinion is drawing ridicule from
persons who disagree with the opinion. Comes with the territory.

Among anybody's brighter adversaries are those who evaluate an opinion
based on its individual merits and will take specific issue with the
opinion itself. Well down from the varsity level adversaries are the
middle-school mentalities which avoid discussing the substance of the
opinion expressed and move to personal attacks instead. A short period
of observation makes it rather obvious which particular camp any
person's particular detractors
happen to fall into.

Please feel free to withold your rat's ass in response to any of my
opinions. :-)

The smart-assed net cop comment was uncalled for.

If you like Edwards, vote for him.
