I'm sorry.....I thought this NG was for boaters.

 Obviously, this isn't the newsgroup I thought it was. This must be the
political ranting, ego bashing, off topic forum that I thought I already
unsubscribed from last week. My mistake.

It is (at least nominally) There IS some good information to be had
here -- Unfortunately of late things have turned more into a bar brawl.

IF you have a boating question -- ask away -- maybe someone will break
away from the fight long enough to give you a reasonable answer.

Yes it was. This group is about lobsters.

The title is deceiving. Years ago this was a boating newsgroup.
Today, most of the frequent posters to the NG are non-boaters.
Most of the so called "threads" are just blatant political trolls, and
lately one group of like-minded individuals sharing a common poliltical
and philosophical view of the world have specialized in launching
threads for the sole purpose of name calling and other juvenile
behavior.

Nobody would seriously expect a newcomer to hang around here. The
boating aspect of rec.boats is dead as a doornail. When somebody makes
a boating related statement, he or she can expect long-winded, mean
spirited responses from people who disagree on the subject but who
cannot express their contrary opinion in a civil, responsible tone.

This NG is becoming a toilet. No point hanging around hoping it will
get better, as some of the perpetrators have publicly expressed, in
this forum, that their goal in rec.boats NG is to screw it up as badly
as they can.

Worse yet, nearly all are gulty of at least some bad behavior- myself
included.
Get the heck out of the asylum while there's still time. Flee for your
life, man!

I think you've understated the problem, Chuckster.


There are about a half-dozen posters here who either never post about a
boating topic or do so so infrequently that I cannot recall their last
on-topic "contribution."

Now, off-topic posting doesn't offend me. I'm as guilty as anyone of
this. I either read an off-topic post or I don't.

It is the viciousness of some of these posters I find obnoxious. So
obnoxious that I have filtered most of them out. They are here solely as
attack dogs, as far as I can tell. I believe their purpose in showing up
here is to destroy this newsgroup. They're pretty much succeeded.

We also have two infrequent posters here who start nearly violent
arguments on on-topic matters with almost every post. One, a sailboater,
argues minor issues to the point of nauseum. The other gets off by
posting incredible long and horribly written psychotic screeds about
those on that individual's "s-list."

Within these groups are a couple of individuals who log on here solely
to create problems of some sort for those they do not like. If there is
a lower life form on usenet, I'm unaware of it.

I don't spend much time here anymore. When I take breaks from work and
want to read a bit on subjects that interest me, or engage in reasonable
discourse, I head to places where there are fewer droolers.

I don't know if this newsgroup can recover.

 Harry,
If anyone can take responsibility for the tone of rec.boats, it is you.

 AMEN! As far as I can tell, this newsgroup is dead. I received some help,
and gave some (I hope), but last years election destroyed this group.
Filtering doesn't help unfortunately. I hope we can recover.

Milky,

All you need to do is set up some filters, and kill file some cronic
abusers.

Filter out stuff like "war, ot, bush, kerry, iraq, election, troops, etc".

And kill file those who post off-topic, and those you feed those trolls.
There was this boatless clown named Harry Krause...I think he is still
around...kill filing him alone will cut down on 50% of the garbage here.

Good luck.

See, Harry's attacks are neither vicious nor obnoxious. His attacks, although
almost continuous from what I can see, are gentlemanly and welcomed.

Change your meds or something? Why would anyone be jealous of a daddy's
little boy twerp like you? And isn't it time for you to shift into one
of your other IDs?

Yes, your mistake. This group is my very own platform to show my vast
and superior boating knowledge.

You should consider yourself lucky, I dont contact your ISP, and have
you arrested.
