Time to unsubscribe from what used to be an informative boating related
newsgroup. Way too political now for my likes. If only a civil level of
debate could be occasionally bantered, I could tolerate it. The childish
insults and name calling is simply not worth my bandwidth.

Quite possibly I'll re-subscribe after the elections, but I doubt it.

Enjoy yourselves while I get the boat ready for fishing...

Just ignore the trolls. We know they are full of ****, so why talk to
them. Harry knows what he and his sock puppets have done to the group,
it's the way the left works.. Beat the **** ouf of an 83 yo man and
his wife yesterday because they wanted to go to the RNCC... The "un-
fairness doctrine", "osamabintoken' crying to the DOJ about an add,
trying to take out the secret ballot, the electoral college.. etc..
They just want to stop free speech so they can have their own way, if
you leave, they have won...

They have not won, I decided on my own to simply not be bothered

avoid eye

The desparate lefties have swamped this group with lies trying to
discredit Palin in the last few days. It's a desperate attempt to
save their boy, but the GOP ticket has them on the ropes, and they
know it. It's funny watching them scurry about, but I agree it's

Herring has a long history here of posting dots, repetitive links, and
"pat" little insults. He's really incapable of independent thought, or,
as he ages rapidly, seemingly any thought.

No need for the link, John. The three stooges should know where they
stand by now. They have been playing defense for a quite a while.

I haven't cared to check, but my bet is that Gene's server is rather
idle these days. I'll also bet the same early fans of Chuck's board who
were drooling for it reverted back to their old news server when they
found Gene's made them disappear.

Yeah, I've about had it, too. I've only been here a month, and it's more
than enough. At first I thought there could be some meaningful dialog
between the sides, so that somebody who is still undecided could learn
more about the candidates. I should have known better. Any attempts at
serious questions and talk about real issues are shot down by one side
or the other, and usually both. Insults are hurled, names are called,
and the issues get lost in the garbage. And boating? Almost nothing.

There is little to be learned here. And yes, I've contributed to the
garbage during the last month, too. No more. If I have a boating
question, I may show up again. Otherwise, I'm done.

Well, if you don't like it here, you won't like it at Chuck's boating
discussion board, where hardly anyone discusses boats or boating, and
the substitute moderator has a hard-on for anyone who doesn't subscribe
to his personal political beliefs.

However, if you want to post photos of your grandchildren or your house
trailer, it's a great place.

Most of the actual boaters here (the few of us who are left) have given
up on posting on topic here for just the reasons you suggest. The leader
of that sort of posting was and remains a cowardly jerkwad who posts
here under about 50 different handles, most of which are plays on the
false handle of Reggie Smithers. He's the leader of the Loogy, JustWait,
DK group, the guys who have done the most to turn this place into a
cesspool.

I gave up on posting boating-related topics here some time ago. I'm just
watching rec.boats slide into the abyss.

You aren't just watching rec.boats slip off into the abyss, you're

If you are changing your vote because of usenet posts, well, you don't

Enjoy yourselves while I get the boat ready for fishing...

Yeah, I've about had it, too. I've only been here a month, and it's
more than enough. At first I thought there could be some meaningful
dialog between the sides, so that somebody who is still undecided
could learn more about the candidates. I should have known better.
Any attempts at serious questions and talk about real issues are shot
down by one side or the other, and usually both. Insults are hurled,
names are called, and the issues get lost in the garbage. And
boating? Almost nothing.

There is little to be learned here. And yes, I've contributed to the
garbage during the last month, too. No more. If I have a boating
question, I may show up again. Otherwise, I'm done.

Well, if you don't like it here, you won't like it at Chuck's boating
discussion board, where hardly anyone discusses boats or boating, and
the substitute moderator has a hard-on for anyone who doesn't
subscribe to his personal political beliefs.

However, if you want to post photos of your grandchildren or your
house trailer, it's a great place.

Most of the actual boaters here (the few of us who are left) have
given up on posting on topic here for just the reasons you suggest.
The leader of that sort of posting was and remains a cowardly jerkwad
who posts here under about 50 different handles, most of which are
plays on the false handle of Reggie Smithers. He's the leader of the
Loogy, JustWait, DK group, the guys who have done the most to turn
this place into a cesspool.

I gave up on posting boating-related topics here some time ago. I'm
just watching rec.boats slide into the abyss.

One last shot, just for you, Harry.

You aren't just watching rec.boats slip off into the abyss, you're
shoving it in that direction for all you're worth. Your posts aren't
just political - they drip with vitriol and slime. In fact, your posts
are the main reason I'm leaving. You are the worst example of a
political advocate I've ever dealt with.

A little tip for you as I leave... You aren't doing anything for your
cause, except to drive people to the other side. You certainly helped to
convince me. I want no part of Obama/Biden, thanks to you in particular.

Good point. And WAFA can't keep his stories straight, either. He
refers to me while he says he has me filtered. WAFPNL (pathetic
narcissistic loser)

We need to get something straight. 'L' stands for 'Liar'. Other than that,
everything is copacetic.

OK, I've Had Enough

Time to unsubscribe from what used to be an informative boating
related newsgroup. Way too political now for my likes. If only a
civil level of debate could be occasionally bantered, I could
tolerate it. The childish insults and name calling is simply not
worth my bandwidth.

Quite possibly I'll re-subscribe after the elections, but I doubt it.
