Nah.




I have never considered Wayne's posts as being "bragging". Anyone
involved in boating realizes that it can be expensive, be it a hobby or
a lifestyle and regardless of the size of the boat.

Whatever. I don't talk about the size of my boat's fuel tank, or what
the annual spring service costs. I don't recall you making a big deal
out of that sort of stuff, either.


Wayne happens to have a larger boat that he and his wife use often,
extensively and enjoy. It has to be big to do the extended cruising
that he does.

Whatever.

Is it "bragging" to you because you're not involved in boating the way
he is? Are you jealous of his cruising experience and nautical
knowledge?

Nope. There's nothing about W'hine repetitive destinations or slo-mo
mode of travel to go long distances that appeals to me.


Seems that way. You're critical of his type of boat, it's size, his
ports of call, the pictures he shares, his ability to make emergency
repairs, maintenance ... pretty much anything to do with his chosen
lifestyle.

I think W'hine is an asshole. It really has nothing to do with his boat.
He behaves badly in here, and you give him a pass, just like you give
your developmentally disabled buddy, FlaJim a pass. You're entitled to
do as you wish in here, and I'm entitled to believe W'hine and FlaJim
are flaming assholes.





Perhaps if you weren't so constantly critical of others and their
interests (if they don't coincide with yours) you would be received
more warmly.
