Hey, Capt. Shen,

I just remembered something you said last year when the
discussion about the Pilot of the ferry that crashed
full speed into the dock up on Staten Island which resulted
in several deaths and numerous injuries, was being held here.

At the time I said it was obviously pilot error and the pilot
should be relieved of his Captain's license, fined, imprisoned,
etc.

You maintained that until all the evidence was in no valid
conclusions could be drawn. It seems you were wrong
yet again. I used the evidence found only in the newspaper
articles, considered the evidence in light of my knowledge
of all things Captain and came to the conclusion
that turned out to be the very same the courts found.

I think you owe me an apology for doubting my wisdom
and powers of reasoning. Are you man enough to apologize?

I see you and otnmbrd have come crawling back because
of the intellectual nature of the threads I start and reply to.

To crawl back, one must first leave. Other than some short trips, been here all
along.

Some people never learn that taking a beating is not really
necessary. Try starting out on a new foot by agreeing with
me and things might go well for you two pretenders.

G I'm neither agreeing or disagreeing, merely asking for clarification.
Seems your sabbatical did nothing to improve your reading comprehension.
