Maybe I should ask you to come over and help moderate..........naw, on second thought probably not. :-) Most of the attempts to "ruin the site" in the last few days have been some opinionated but very civil discussions about the advantages and disadvantages of bow thrusters on small boats, transom savers on trailers, and the relative merits of various boating hats. There is some historic tension between a few posters, but it almost never breaks out into the sort of content that fans of other venues seem to promote and enjoy. What's more, the natural momentum of the site is finally kicking in and even though I have been too busy this week to post as often as I would like, other members are posting more freely, spontaneously, and informatively than folks who spend no time there might imagine possible. No magic, just a site where "the golden rule" is SOP and there is a small amount of organization and structure. While that "ruins" it for some, others seem to be enjoying it and the modest amount of structure has allowed folks who don't get along elsewhere (or haven't in the past) to converse in a civil fashion. FYI, wrecked boats is seldom mentioned on the other site. In my opinion, it would be entirely OK if the other site were never mentioned here. I'd respectfully suggest that you folks have enough problems of your own to iron out on this board without trying to comment on problems you think exist elsewhere. Have a wonderful day, one and all. That post was totally unnecessary and counterproductive. If your desire is simply to inflame, Harry, JimH, and Don are doing just fine, thank you.. I notice you make no comments about their continuous name-calling, fight provoking, and otherwise immature behavior over here, Chuck. Shame on you. -- John *H* When you look behind his holier than thou attitude, Chuck is really a decent guy, whose unselfish desire to enrich us poor unwashed heathens with his insight, is commendable. I also want to thank Chuck for providing a safe haven where Harry can retreat and practice his decorum. Perhaps Harry will one day learn to be civil enough to return to usenet and post like an adult, in an unmoderated newsgroup.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - As you can see from just this morning, that ain't happening! And it's SO easy to figure out. If you believe his lies, or at least tolerate them, he's fine with you. If you call bull****, then all of a sudden you're a dumb foch, don't own a boat, etc.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - forget it loogie, just let it go.... |
