What happens when someone has about 22 of those nemeses guys?

The whole NG goes to hell.

As far as people who are so upset with somebody else that they have
their wife spending time paging through 40-50 year old issues of the
NYT looking for any mention of a "fire boat welcome", who can't let
any thread run very far without adding some nonsense about a
"Zimmerman-like lobsta boat", and who routinely launch a thread for
the express purpose of attacking another poster in the NG? There are
closer to two than to 22.

Most of the attack posters hide behind anonymous handles, and there is
no reason to believe that some of them aren't using a couple of sock
puppets to reinforce their hateful message.

Closer to 2 than 22, by far.

Obsessive: Those poor guys are consumed with their own disdain for
another person, probably beyond the point where it's healthy.

Compulsve: Several people post compulsively here, ("Hey, I just bought
a new bicycle, went out to dinner, visited a relative, got new tires
for the pickup, etc".....several times a week). But not all are
obsessed with a single subject or individual.

Nenesis fixation: Pretty obvious, just look at the content.

===================

One only needs to look at the authors who *launched* attack threads over the
past few days.

"A Portrait of Harry", "Harry's Employees" and one or two VISTA threads
nicely veiled but obviously intended as attack threads on 2 memebers here.

You are right Chuck. �I count 2, not 22. � They also seem to fit your
descriptions to a tee. � ;-)

How is the restored boat running? �Does it still look like it just came out
of the box?

It does again now. I hauled out for bottom paint, and had to have a
couple of smal scrapes repaired under the rub rail on the starboard
side.
A guy in a small sailboat was instructed to raft off of me one day
when I was on the wall in the large locks. I thought he hit me pretty
hard, but when I looked over the rail to see how things fared the
scrapes were under the protruding rub rail where they could not be
seen from above.
I didn't see anything, and the screwball in the sailboat was calling
out,
"Sorry about that, but don't worry, no harm done!"

Yeah no ham done............... to his boat.

I continue to be very pleased with that brand of organic boat soap I
have mentioned here before. It has never been easier to keep my boat
incredibly clean.
