I missed this message on the other board, until today, so I'll
paraphrase it:

You are going to get booted if you mention another poster in a
derogatory manner. I would assume that includes any remark that is
sure to lead to nowhere other than a defensive comeback.

Let me suggest this litmus test: before you touch the keyboard, ask
yourself this, "Am I defending __________ ?" If so, push the keyboard
back, go get a cold one, and take some quality time to think of
something to post that is non defensive and boating related. I'm
betting that if you don't, you'll perpetually remain booted......

And I, for one, think he is 100% right.


I do, too, and I told him so. Further, there are no members of the Seven
Dwarfs here to whom I will respond at Chuck's Place. So...if you a
member of the Schitty Seven here (Herring, "Reggie," "Florida Jim,"
"BAR," Loogy, JustWait, and whoever the floating idiot of the day in
that group is, don't expect me to climb into your litter box there for
any reason.

| If you think I'm Hidden, you must be dumber than a post. He IS someone

| Now, can you answer the question? After all, it was YOU that said if
| you "follow the rules" you won't get banned. What rule was broken by
| hidden?
|
| It really is easy to understand why Hidden was put in time out.
| Everyone knows Harry does not own a Lobster Boat, so when Hidden
| mentioned the topic, it was making fun of Harry's obsession with
| fabricating a fictional persona for UseNet.
|
| Chuck wanted to nip it in the bud, so he put Hidden in time out. *I
| would assume if Harry mentioned his "Lobster Boat", Harry would be put
| in time out also.
|
| If what you say is true, then Chuck must believe that Harry's Lobsta boat
| is a fabrication. That's hard to believe!
|
| I believe that Chuck is smarter than you give him credit for...not that it
| would be hard to see through the Dwarf Armys' awkward attempts at
| instigating, agitating ,and facilitating. *Mmmm *facilitating..isn't that
| what you're doing right now?- Hide quoted text -

|Don, honest question for you, seeing how the others who laud Chuck's
|place won't answer. Why would someone be binned for asking someone a
|question about fuel burn rates on a boat that that person has stated
|several hundred times over the years that he owns?

Because someone knew, before they asked, that there would be no
helpful answer. There never HAS been a helpful answer to that question
and one would reasonably conclude then, as did Chuck, that the asking
of the question was clearly inflammatory in nature.

How far do you suppose somebody will push the "I'm not touching you"
routine before they finally conclude there isn't any payoff (at
Chucks)?

Please step away from the sandbox.....

I wonder how come, then that Harry can call people over at Chuck's
boatless? If Harry claims to have a large lobster boat, how is it
inflammatory to ask about it?

It would seem that a simple rule would suffice: Anything that may **** off
Harry will cause one to be booted.

No?

Sigh! * *Wasn't Harry 'binned' (as the dwarfs say) for posting something
thet might offend you or your loyal but disobedient army.

You claim to have knowledge of Harry's Zimmerman like lobster boat, so
how is it inflammatory to ask a question about someone's boat? It is a
boating forum after all.

There's no such statement by me at Chuck's Steakhouse.

I don't know, nor do I care.

I understand, integrity means nothing to you?

Damn, now ain't that an idea. ;-)

It would be fabulous if the Seven Dwarfs started their own discussion
board. *This* place would smell better,too.
