A request to the CSR Moderators

Yours was a self inflicted wound and you said you were having fun!

We're sorry, you victim card has been declined.

 

I think the current arrangement is workable. The Tiki Bar and the Bilge. And I have availed mys elf of the "Ignore" member option as well.

Think we can tolerate a vigorous debate as long as it doesn't drop to just rude name calling. That's when I use the ignore.
You can tell the real trolls and just ignore them.

 

It did, and although I'll shoulder exactly 50% of the blame, I'm not very certain I would do anything different.
An opinion was solicited and a comment was made that IMO, was simply irresponsible and unrealistic. Debatable is whether my initial response was over the top but fire was returned in kind so game on.

I never stooped to ad hominem attacks (as did whom I was conversing with) and kept my responses strictly to what was being posted. I attempted to politely bail by restating my response to the OP's question with no other commentary directed toward anyone or anything only the subject at hand.

Regretfully, someone decided they needed to take another swing. Keeping in mind that that someone also said, to paraphrase "they dont like referees and they were having fun".

Now they are dropping the victim card.

 

Holy Smokes, Eddie Haskell changed his name and bought a boat.

 

and yet here you are still going on about it...

 

Hysterical.
Help me out, did you post here first about it or did I?

 

If anyone is wondering what I meant about "someone decided they needed to take another swing"...

 

Initially I did not see that correlation, but I went back and read his posts.

 

This is like my kids trying to get in the last word...

 

@northshore and @Blueone

Ok you two need to get a room...
The posts don't even add to this conversation,

 

Yep. So, I'll do as I did in the other thread I'll bail as I have said my peace. Watch what happens...

 

Well here are two individuals that almost prove the case for giving someone a time out on a forum.

I just took a moment to check their user profiles for "show all content".
I find that both of them have worse than 10:1 ratio of posting just some comment vs a useful comment.
IN MY OPINION...

So in order to show that the forum tools available to me are more than adequate;
I do not request these two be censored by the moderators.
But I have just added both to my "ignore list",
bye bye @Blueone and @northshore ...

 

It's pretty easy on here to avoid the threads or comments that you don't agree with.
Like someone else stated, I don't have Facebook, etc and this forum has helped me tremendously through the years of figuring out how to address certain boating issues.
My suggestion is take it for what it's worth, donate (as you do) to keep the site afloat if you wish and make your own decision on what threads or comments to view.
As my momma always tried to teach me ... choose your "friends" wisely. Man, I wish she was still around and being the voice of reason.

 

I just scroll right by their nonsense. Easy peesy.

 

Yes, wussification. Omg this place is so "hostel." Give me my safe space and my therapy dog. I guess I come from the "grow a pair" school.

We can have "civil" discussion regarding boats and what not. Sometimes things are taken the wrong way and a "fight" ensues. Eventually, it works its way out. Happed on the 3rd grade playground the same way. BFD.

 

And for what its worth, Blueone shot me a message. We explained our views in a couple of back and forth messages, all good. Moving on.

 

Would it be a good idea to move the Bilge up to the Tiki bar maybe people would tend to use it more.
