Barf ... you demean the title. You are neither a professional or a
master of anything.

It is your sort who bring ridicule to the American licensing system. You
are not now nor will you ever reach the standards of training and
demonstrate the competence required of an officer of the Merchant Marine.

You are a fraud and a wannabe. Your boat is a toy, a broken toy at that,
and your only command is a keyboard.
