Anybody else notice a dramatic increase in inconsideration this year at the OI?

Ive never experienced anything but courtesy and consideration from both the staff and participants in times past but this year everyone mustve lost their heads. And someone else unprompted remarked the same thing to me at the social last night also, so it aint just me.First was the mess trying to get into the cove for inspection Thursday morning. A whole bunch of guys waiting to take-off were packed up too close to the north bank leaving very little room for those incoming, who were more all over the place than usual too. The add a joker idling outbound against all of the inbound boats and I ended up in the gravel trying to avoid running into everybody and dinging all 4 blades on my prop in the process. Then the guy ahead of me either didnt realize or didnt care that going under the inspection bridge was supposed to be 2 wide so after zig-zagging the whole way he finally made up his mind to go under it in the middle. When I said something to one of the guys up there next to Ivan he just laughed; but he may have just not heard what I said too. Then another joker in front of the one in front of me didnt understand to wait to pull the kill switch until well past the bridge despite everyone hollering to wait. Other than the prop damage all that is actually forgettable though. But what took the cake was the jerks who worked their way up the bank to the point I was on, went between me and the bank, caught a fish and decided to set up camp all well within the 50 yards from me specified in the rules. Then when I said something to them instead of any courtesy or consideration they argued anything they could think of from I “wasnt anchored” to I “only said something because they caught a fish”, to the definition of “50 yards” (which anyone who has ever played football can easily gauge how far half a football field is), to I “passed them and kept going” despite me showing them my gps tracks showing that I had been there since the morning run from the take-off, to “people do it to them all the time” as if that makes it both OK and legal. The really sad thing was it was a father and his adult son and reflects very poorly on the character of both.I know that this happens and I debated the rest of the day whether to protest their weigh-in but figured that I was here to have fun and wouldnt stoop to the level of degenerating into an ugly whizzing contest. I do know that when you let people get by with that sort of behavior it simply rewards such and promotes it to happen again, but the juice just wasnt going to be worth the squeeze in this case and Ive long since learned to reserve letting my ego take control in such cases. Since I was by myself (and now Im glad neither of my kids were there with me after all) I didnt have any witnesses on my behalf, but I did take pictures though. Anyway, I know were all living more and more in a “me first” society but until now and with few exceptions the BassCat family and the OI have been a sanctuary from such self-centeredness. It was just a very discouraging experience. I do hope all of you are more disciplined and considerate than that and even refuse to condone such behavior.Yall take care and hope your OI experience was as much fun as it has been for me in times past. I know I havent been online here much in the last year or so due to some heavy commitments with my work but I do check in and read up from time to time.Deke[font=&QUOT]Deke[/font]
