Nope, not gonna do it. At least not while I'm here.

But don't worry, I'll be gone soon, as will others who find this board more toxic than informative these days. I'm sure I won't be missed. I'm also sure that driving away contributors isn't a good way to sustain BoaterEd.

You're support will surely be missed.
 
I know Bob personally, and he did not delete his posts. Well, maybe one of them, he says.

My Mother once told me that who you associate with speaks volumes to your character. I have to assume Capt. that you and Bob are of the same mind.

Watch out for fleas!

Well, tell him I miss him and his irreverent humor and that I wish him well. It is amazing the crap that is tolerated on this forum but Bob gets bounced for, well, being Bob which offends no one.
 
Boy, I voted thinking this was a serious (albeit badly worded) poll…

There are many ways to support BoaterEd, one is to contribute helpful advice, another is to buy an anchor, and another, as I have, is to make BoatFix your preferred internet shopping site for boating related items.

However when the public forums become avenues for people to espouse racial and insulting comments (directly or indirectly) that having nothing to do with boating, I am sure people ask themselves (as the other advertisers probably do), is this a site worth supporting.

Just my 2 cents.

I find your post racist and insulting.
 
I think it's worth supporting, what do you think? Same goes for BoatFix.
 
All this petty bickering and whining in the ATC needs to end and be taken to the NBR. I too, had a problem with a tag line so I opened a formal complaint in the NBR.....just as should be done.

I find that insulting - my whining and bickering is hardly petty.
 
I'm terribly sorry, ITK. It was totally wrong of me to make such a statement. This is especially true when I knew full well how sensitive you are about such things. I hope you will accept my most sincere apology for including your whinning and bickering in a negative, dare I say petty, way.
 
LET IT GO! For the sake of this forum, just let this thread and associated BS die a natural death!
 
Hmmmm, maybe the sarchasm was a little too deep and wide.

I got it, and in your honor, I toast my BLT.
 
Sure Charlie, you want this to die a natural death. After you change your tag line to offend everything that I hold near a dear to my heart. You're asking a whole lot. but oK!!

[:-cry]
 
I am becoming quite offended that you guys are not taking my very first BE poll more seriously.
 
I pop in to say hello and not a single response.... you goobers are way to caught up with yourselves... no wonder the bilge is flooding ...

Hello

That is a load of bullsh*t. Keeping everything (sig lines included) related to boating fosters a boating-related educational environment without putting off other people. If we can't do that, then I agree this is a sinking ship.

I personally don't have a problem with respectful political discourse, and respectful political sig lines. But tolerating bigotry and hatred doesn't fall in the category of "don't read it if you don't like it."

Things like muslim / bacon sandwich and black house are not political discourse; they display bigotry. I wouldn't passively tolerate it from my friends in "real life", and I wouldn't passively ignore it here. Neither should you.

Well said, couldn't agree more.

Again, well said. I'm pretty much in the same boat except I can't muster much more energy for the cesspool this site is turning into than to agree with you. Bummer that a formerly useful site turns into a competition for who can come up with the more politically polarized sig.

Fair 'nuff. I forgot I did that - I was having a twisted sense of humor smartass moment when I wrote that, and completely forgot about it by the next morning. Without a doubt, my bad.

It struck me as much funnier when I wrote it.
