Are you actually claiming John "lied" when he suggested you are a faker?
You
should be pleased! You were trying your best to act like a fool, weren't
you?


Jeff, I find it really odd that you cannot see the real situation. You are
going to be part of my proof that JohnE lied. Isn't that wonderful?


So what is the real situation? Are you claiming the John knows that, well I'm
not sure, but that he knows something and is therefore "lying" when he called
you a faker? Or are you simply claiming you are not really a faker? I tend to
believe that John was sincere in his opinion, and thus, right or wrong, he
wasn't lying.

I think you're a fool because whether you really are a faker or not your
behavior has been that of a fool.



I'm sorry that you invited yourself into this little debacle. I bore you no
ill will. However, it was your choice.


Well, nothing ventured, nothing gained. Its been slow here, what with the world
frozen to a stop.

It's funny, but I had seen you as a serious poster. Now, I see that you
allow your thoughts to be governed by your preconceptions.


No preconceptions - if anything I'm reacting too much to the immediate.
Frankly, I always assumed you had passed some YM test. Its just that your
opinions often make YachtMaster seem the UK equivalent of a Power Squadron
class. And lately its seemed like you've just taken a stupid pill.

Let me explain.

You tried to say that Joe was right about keeping a "Radar" only lookout,
while doing 25 kts in fog. You retracted your position as soon as it was
pointed out to you that the CollRegs expressly require a lookout "by sight
and sound".

You lie again! Do you deny that in the same paragraph I said "Of course, one
should always have a visual (and sound) watch"? How can you possibly
interpret that as meaning I advocate not using a lookout? I didn't have to
"retract" anything because I explicitly said that a lookout was required.


That was an incredibly stupid situation to get yourself into. ...
Especially for someone who thinks that he understands the CollRegs.

Yes it would have been. But I didn't. No amount of lying on your part can
change that.


How could someone as intelligent as you make such a stupid mistake?


The only mistake I made was thinking you had some sense of honor. But you've
shown yourself to be a cowardly liar.


I believe that your preconceptions led you to believe that I was
bul****ting. If I'm wrong, then please tell us why you think that it is OK
to do 25kts in thick fog, using radar as your only means of keeping a
lookout.

Ok. I get it now. You're just yanking my chain, aren't you? No one is really
as stupid as you? Good one, Donal.
