... head by a boat and it was still an awesome weekend. No fist fights, no rudeness, and the only swear words I heard were flying out of the sculls. There was a lot of competition, but not a lot of incivility. It was nice. The level of cooperation, civility, and camaraderie was a balm to my injured faith in humanity.

... As to the video below, with the bastards yelling 'I object' to the women in the house... I didn't immediately realize what it was about, just reacted to the incivility.
