Ryan, I disagree. This thread is an infomercial for "Safe (sic) Boaters of NH" (which is a GFBL group hiding under a "safety" moniker) disguised as a thread about boating safety.
It's ironic that you use the very moniker/link in your post, so that your post says just what the others in your group say throughout this thread; 1) "This thread is about safe boating and not about opposition to the SL" and 2) "By the way, while were discussing boating safety, please visit this "safe boating
" link that is actually an anti-SL site and make a donation to fight the SL". You can't have it both ways. Once you used the ridiculous tactic of trying to hide your group's intent by calling it "Safe Boaters", and started using every post as a recruitment, you can't now tell us to shut up about the SL.
Please look around the Boating threads over the past weeks. You'll notice the continual and growing anti-SL comments and innuendo that prevails. One from outside reading this would mistakenly think that the good people of the region are a bunch of go-fast cowboys, when in fact opinion of local residents is hugely supportive of the SL, as our legislature saw.
I stay away from this forum as much as I can. but will continue to join back in whenever you guys drift back into making it about SL-bashing...even when you do that subliminally or indirectly. If you don't want SL supporters weighing in, take the links to SBONH out of your footers and stop using every topic as a chance to drop some complaint about the SL.
People in some NC biker bar don't like it? What does a statement like that have to do with boating safety on Lake Winnipesaukee?
By the way, I know for a fact that choosing the name "Safe Boaters" was very damaging to your cause. People as smart as (most of) our legislators have a tendency to react negatively to such intelligence-insulting tricks. Did you guys really think they were going to see that name and say "Oh, 'Safe Boaters of NH'. This must be the group representing boaters who favor safety. The SL supporters must oppose boating safety."?
