This newsgroup used to be very informative. There was a very nice lady
who knew everything about chemicals for your boat and some very knowledgeable people all around. What happened? I'm afraid to ask questions or make comments now! |

It's not directed toward you by any means. There are a couple folks who would love to see the demise of this group. -- John *H* |

I'm afraid to ask questions or make comments now! Based on what you read today I don't blame you for wondering if this is a boating NG. This NG started going downhill many months ago when it turned into personal message board as well as a group to discuss guitars, NASCAR, cooking and grandchildren. Most real boaters got fed up and left for another place. |

It was taken over by snarky little snots who knew next to nothing about boats and preferred to discuss their grandchildren, golf, homebrew beer, motorcycle racing, recipes for barbecue - everything except boats. |

That would be Peggy Hall who was driven off by a certain obnoxious individual who bullied her and stalked her at a boat show and who didn't have the stones to introduce himself when he was a mere 5 paces away. As a matter of fact, that individual is here now raising hell. He probably won't bother you if you ignore him. |

People like you who lurked but didn't participate killed it. If there had been a steady stream of boating related questions and information, the assholes could not have taken over so easily. You blew it. Actually you and the other flamers in this NG blew it. Your reply to this former member is just an example of the rudeness, name calling and foul language so prevalent now at rec.boats. |

You blew it. Nice....I used to contribute quite often until I sold my boat. Now I have purchased another boat and this is what I found upon returning. As Harry pointed out earlier, most of the sensible posters with a genuine interest in boating were forced to move over to Chuck's moderated site. I'd recommend same if you like civility and good manners. |

This place could be useful if ALL parties refused to participate in the nonsense. If you don't think this unmoderated group is for you, one of the biggest, and most active moderated boat forums is athttp://www.boatered.com There are others, of course, but they are not as well run or nearly as big. the boatered forums have been around for a long time, has far more participants, and the moderation is only to maintain order in a very low-key manner. No heavy handed gestapo tactics like other forums you may hear about. Don't take my, or anyone else's word for it. Check them all out and decide for yourself. boatered is the most moderated group on the net. Post something that Les Hall does not agree with and you are toast (unless you pay to become a *member* there). |

Politics, guitars, loogy, golf, grandchildren, home brew beer, kids' bicycle and motorcycle accidents, et cetera, are not. Looks like boating is off-topic here, too. Whining, of course, is on topic. |

We all have our opinions on that, mostly the same as yours. All your taunts are doing is giving him a reason to stick around and troll... You are the only one left that will even address him here, the only one left keeping it going... |
