Lets hug it out!

I'm growing weary of the holier than thou attitude displayed from participants of all forms of boaters (even jet-skiers), that somehow seems to suggest they are the only ones with a right to be on the water. Who nominated these types of the overlords of the waterways. I lurk in a lot of forums (participate in few) but a common thread emerges in most, which is that of intolerance and total lack of acceptence. Virtues we could all do without. There is no one segment of boaters that this affliction seems to be most prominant with - it comes from those elitists we (sadly) find among any group of dedicated watersporters, so I'm not pointing any fingers.

This water is here for the use of us all (not least of which fish), so collectively we could all use a little tolerance and a good dose of empathy. Save your rage for the machine instead... which I think is something the great man of zion (and greek god of dreams in mythology), Morpheus would endorse. We all know tolerance is a virtue to live by, but it's one think to know the path, another thing to walk the path.
