Arguing COLREGS with Nil is pointless. Pointing out the reasons why Nil
is unsuited to make any reasonable argument or to intelligently discuss
vessel operations is not an ad hominem attack. It is an observation of
the futility of discussing such issues with the ignorant and uninformed
wannabe class of trailerboater that he represents.

The merits are beyond your understanding.

In case what I wrote was as difficult for you as the COLREGS, read it again:

You got it correct except for the bit about the knowledge base ... Nil
has only a shaky and homemade knowledge base. He has no formal training
and absolutely no professional experience to expose him to any
operational technique. All he has is a toy MOTOR license yet he claims
to hate all motorboat operators ... he claims to be the master of sail
yet has NO sail endorsement ... couldn't pass the test? Doesn't have the
sailing time?

All he has are the bad habits he developed while pretending to be
"master" of his trailerboat and a peculiar view of vessel operations
based on watching other yachties. He has absolutely no idea of how any
vessel other than his and the trailerboats that pass his moorage operate.

Nil is a textbook example of why maritime academies exist and are more
and more critical to training in the maritime industry.

He is the poster child of the wannabe mariner.

That is not an ad hominem attack, it is a professional observation of
the attitude and management skills of an amateur recreational sailor
pretending to understand the nuances of safe vessel operation.
