Wrong newsgroup. I'd offer the same comment to left wing posters who
put something equivalent here, (and have, lately), so you guys on the

this group was 60% politics, 20% personal feud, and 20% boats. T

Yeah, now it is 5% boats, 20% advertorial, 10% politics, and 65%
personal insults.

Historically, most of the personal insults in rec.boats have cropped
up in the course of what passes for "political debate" on this forum.
After 2-3 exchanges, one side or the other runs of out Rush Limbaugh
or moveon.org talking points to repeat and in the ensuing frustration
the insults begin.

Then there are those who get their kicks out of insulting everybody in
sight regardless of the issue. There's no real hope for people in that
position, but by sticking closer to topic those folks normally able to
control themselves in a public setting won't be as inclined to call
names and hurl insults in pursuit of a personal political agenda.
Again, just my opinion.
