Wafa and Salty have nothing to add here but hate and bull****...

During the big Chuckie event, those of us that were left decided not
to answer "any" of Harry's trolls, boating or otherwise. It worked
great, one day I posted a link showing some 50 unanswered trolls by
wafa in just a few hours. The group was doing fine until two very
prominent figures came back and decided they could reach out and
select certain posts to answer, but it soon fell apart.. Now that both
have realized the futile nature of the task, one has left and the
other is finally on board...

I suggest we see if we can get back to letting Harry and Salty talk to
themselves, I will be totally ignoring both Harry and Salty for one
week from today. If others join in, we might have a chance. Even folks
like you Tim, should give it a try, if only for a week. If it doesn't
work, go on back to picking and choosing your posts to him, but give
it a try for a week and see what happens..

Who else will put their name on the list of us who are "in" for one
week. I will start... Sign up below.

I pledge not to engage Harry or Salty (could be the same person) for
one week starting today. I will not mention them in any post, I will
not mention them in any way, insulting or otherwise.

Here is the list of those who really want to save the group:
JustWaitaFrekinMinute.. 09/08/08 09:19



Hopefully, we can put a stop to this crap, once and for all now that
we are all here. So comeon folks, after over a decade of filth, let's
try a week withougt it.

Are you in?


Now there's an idea whose time has come. I resubscribed to ask a
question about rebuilding procedures for 2-cycle engines, and I see a
movement is afoot. I also see that since that movement started, the
offending subject matter has practically disappeared, at least as far as
new threads are concerned. I don't know how long it will last, but I
applaud the effort.

I, for one, don't see the harm in civilized debate. In fact, I believe
it to be beneficial. Good ideas can come from almost any source, but
they need to be examined carefully in the light of day to be sure they
actually ARE good ideas. It is when the debate becomes uncivilized that
the problems begin. The offending parties mentioned in the OP, and a few
others, have decided that "winning" is more important than being
civilized, and so they lose. No, that's not quite right. We all lose
when that happens.

I got sucked in before, but it won't happen again. I'm in, and not just
for a week. I'm in for the foreseeable future. As soon as I post this
reply I'll filter out the posters in question. I probably won't be here
all the time, because I don't have occasion to go boating nearly as much
as I'd like, but I'll be back from time to time. When I check in,
anybody who has posted something that I deem uncivilized will join the
the rest in my killfile. The subject matter of the offending post is
unimportant. The tone of the post is.

Fair enough?

Well, it's been a week and it was a real display of distruction by
Harry and his crew. Inviting a dozen or so idiots from other groups,
he kept the killfiles working over time. Now the little asshole has a
new name to try as he finally realized the only ones talking to him
here were SaltyBreath, JimH, and Donnie.. The rest could well be
sockpuppets from the three of them. Hopefully, most here noticed the
lengths Harry took to disrupt the group, and the typical playground
educated "thinkers" he brought in to do his dirty work. If anyone ever
thought he could be dealt with in a fair and honest manner, or that he
wants to talk boats here, I guess the last week has probably burst
your bubble. These guys have proven to be nothing buy whiney little
assholes all week, nobody here should forget.. Oh, and I see they are
starting to take on sockpupptes to try to get a new toehold, but I
suggest we just keep up the good work and leave him to his "friends"...

You're one of the major posts of off-topic crap, and therefore one of
the biggest contributors to its downfall, buddyboy.
