Vic, you do realize you're making my point here.
I think you are smart enough to know I could give a rat fuck about the trashing. '
But do the others just reading. Are they ready and willing to post and get trashed by you and your core group?

I have no idea, and don't give a fuck. Its not my site, and I was not the one that asked the question why. You are. You are the one that said he had no clue. No shit Vic. You think you might be clueless? Who knew.

My perception Vic, or that of someone else just reading.
You the others making it real friendly here to discuss your question that started this exchange? No ridiculing? Like I said Vic, you know I don't give a rats ass. Not so sure about the guy that isn't posting, and how he feels bout doing so in the future. You either want participation from outside, you don't. Your driving the bus here.
A couple others agreed with me if you BOTHER to go read them. But lets mock the idea as ludicrous, be WE know its not true. Right Vic. If you ridicule me, is it just me, or anybody that might have agreed with me as well?

Hey Bob.......sometimes we don't ALWAYS have to be right or even win every debate......difference of opinion is what makes the world go round, but then again that's just my opinion

You've made it clear you don't give a rats ass Bob, you've said it at least 6-8 times.

And I think you're getting your words crossed up just a little. The couple other posters said they felt like this place was a clique, not once did I read anything about trashing other posters.

It seems you really don't like it here Bob.

I'm sorry I could not create a place that is to your liking.

Some people just don't like it anywhere.

I never said I axpected you to make a site to MY liking. Do even remember the origianl question and your response?

Never said anybody else said they were getting trashed. Some others did agree it has the appearance of a tight clique.
Bob called it that, so lets kick Bob in the nut sack for calling us that.
Now how does that set with those that agreed with me? Or those that agreed and didn't bother to post. The quite lurker thinking about posting, seeing the same thing I see?

You say you are soooo welcoming. Then when somebody tries to explain what might be the perception of some on the outside, you get all denfensive and start mocking that person. Go read my first post on this topic AGAIN. I knew full well this would be YOUR and the "groups" response, and I said it anyway.
I would like to see it become something other than a chat room for a dozen people talking about whats playing on their radio, or what they had for lunch. But its of little interest to the core group, and it will take a different crowd for that to happen.

Not being critical Vic. You asked trhe question, I just suggested it may be the core group that dominates the front page, and he site ends there. Everything else is the nether regions. Like the abyss.

Could be, and don't hold me to this, but it could be as simple as the layout of the site. As simple as the layout from the top of the screen to the bottom. I don't now. I am not a website designer.

It was your question and response, not mine. I just responded to it, and now regretting I had. I can see how warmly it was recieved.

If it even matters to you. But then, you may not give anymore of a rats ass than I do.. You've made that perfectly clear to me.

Here I thought I was an outsider, considering most of the people who are members here have known each other (on boating forums) since the original Hotboat.com and I've only been on the boards a little over a year. At least I am among good company in the alleged "inner circle" or "clique". Anyone who knows me, knows I am as friendly as they come and won't exclude people, unless you've been an ass to me.

If my posts annoy you, this may help…

Go to my profile, you can do so by clicking on the avatar on the left --> below my profile picture click on "add to ignore list" then click "yes" there problem solved.


FYI: Stainless is in the circle.

I didn't make the cut. :(
Paul can you do the hugs thread again tomorrow?

Seriously, at least try posting if you want to make friends, I'm sure you have something in common with others here, if public is not your thing, try the PM method to meet potential friends.

I have crazy thoughts sometimes, here's one;
I was a member on the original HB but I doubt I ever posted bc I was shy and then it imploded bf I got courage to post. I wanted to post so bad but was afraid to. My image of the Sandbar was exactly the Sandbar up river in the Gorge, 500 boats, a thousand people drinking and partying. I drove by it several times bf I got courage to stop and have a beer, man, I'm glad I did so now.

Who's trashing whom? I just read through at least 5 posts trashing me for being friendly and inquisitive. I think I make way more people comfortable to post and am welcoming. If you read my posts you KNOW I won't trash you and I will welcome you. Frankly, that's why people who see me at random places feel free to come up to me in person. Can't possibly be because they want to get trashed in person.
