[Rhodes22-list] Complaint to List Admin

[TN Rhodey]

Slim,  It will be interesting to see the responses to your post. I for one
am not annoyed enough to support an oust Herb movement. I remember Steve L
and was one of his frequent targets. Steve was one of the few list members I
have met. In person he was a great guy......on line he was a raving lunatic.
I don't think Herb has reached near that level of hostility.

I took a break from this forum because of some of the same issues that you
mention. I noticed that Elle made an effort to keep the group civil and I
applaud her efforts (and pics). I also noticed some new blood so I decided
to drop back in.

I know politics is part of the list but maybe we all should take an extra
second before we hit the send key. I steered a perspective Rhodes buyer to
this list for information a while back. He told me I hung out with a bunch
of jerks. He still likes the boat.

Hang in there Slim....don't let this shit bother you.

Fair Winds,

Wally
