I just noticed today...

[Buoy]

This section doesn't get a lot of daily traffic on this board. And in fact, there seems to be almost an even number of "thanks" threads, as there are "watch out for" threads.
It's nice to be at a place without the negativity all the time.
Some places feed and focus on negativity.

It's much busier in here today.
We are on the look out for a canadian d-bag with really, really low freeboard.

I just recently realized that a member from one of these forums owes me, like three hundred beers. Hell, there are a couple of them...
They've never paid up.
I should start a thread about that, and my unpaid beer debt, and what a deadbeat/criminal they are.
I should be ratting out these bastards. The boating world needs to know.
Deadbeat bartab guys... I tell ya, nothing worse than that. And they always seem to be from Ohio.

Hypothetical bar tabs demand hypothetical action.

I guess I have a fan club over on the other site, this one guy keeps tabs on me like he has nothing else in life to do. His exciting thing to do today was to report that I went to court today in texas. Mind you he lives in jersey and has never met or spoken to me. But he does have a big keyboard and likes to hang out with that other douchebag Alex.

sorry bouy to rant on that, BUT you are right there is alot less negativity here and people don't write things about you when they do not know you

No worries.
What you are saying was kind of my point.
It just seems there are a lot of people that have read something on the internet and believe it as gospel. Both good, and bad.
AND, there seems to be a high percentage of people that focus on something GOOD about someone, and try to turn it into BAD in some way. Even when they have absolutely NO first-hand knowledge, or personal interest in the matter. I find it a very interesting social experiment/awakening of how things have changed in society.
Sure, in this high performance boat community there aren't any bullchitter's that bar stool race... So, take everything they say as gospel. Not a one of them is looking to find a way to "one-up" the next guy.

And..................so what happened? Were you acquitted? Oh, and I am from Jersey also.

[Bgchuby01]

no I was not acquitted but there is alot more going on that will come out withing the next two weeks. When I am able (soon) I will make a post about certain things that need to be said.

We're down to two weeks now. I've been waiting. Sometimes not so patiently.....

[Coolerman]

UGLIER! Eventually they will turn on each other.

Internet firing squads have a certain circular nature.

I want so bad to post my opinion on OSO in this same section but Heather has me blocked. I wonder as these other people who are getting arrested for multible boats besides cardshark will be banned from OSO or is she going to turn a blind eye since she is friends with some of them.

[Bgchuby01]

You just know that I am outspoken and would love to say a few things.

That whole section has made me realize a lot of people that I really have no interest at all in associating with. The funny thing is, I have learned that there are actually more people that have posted in the threads that I don't think very highly of, than there are people that the threads are about.

I find it quite interesting that the intent of the section is to "warn" people of other people, and if you are smart enough to read between the lines, it really works!! Just not in the way it was originally intended...
Quite interesting, no?

We seem to see the same folks doing the hunting, posting, and 100% verification of googletruths.

I like that analogy....

Those people leave their houses by climbing out of windows, that way they don't have to face anybody in person.

Great analogy Tim, the best part about this is that I don't read any of their stuff, but they read all of mine !
