Default It's not fuel prices that's going to kill the boat market

Think small

No thanks. Thinking small is for the unmotivated in life.

You think that because someone has a boat that they really like,
although it may be smaller than yours is "unmotivated"? Do you think
that just because someone isn't financially overextended is
"unmotivated"? I think that people who overextend just for
appearances
are fools.

bk, do you think that NOYB was trying to be controversial in his
statement?
Maybe he was just saying how *he* feels about life, and not passing
any
judgements on others.

Why the attacks?

It's a nice Sunday...chill out.

No, John, he certainly was, and always has, passed judgements on
others.


I'm discussing only the post you responded to, not the past few years.

I'm surprised that you'd take a philosophical comment like, "Thinking
small
is for the unmotivated in life" as a personal attack or the passing of
judgement on you.

John

Since I was the one who advised to "think small", I thought NOYB was
jabbing at me. Maybe I should have said 'think modestly'.
Obviously some here have no need to even consider that, but I stand by
my common sense advice.

NOYB can't think small, because the stuff he has is making up for his
lack of manhood!

Attack mode. Why? You weren't attacked.

Here it is, a nice Sunday, lot's of friendly conversation on a range of
subjects, and you come in like a rabid pit bull...

Why? What does it serve?

He can't help it. Jealousy I would guess.

See? I rest my case, John!


Whoa, whoa, whoa...

You made three or four attacking posts, and NOYB responded with one of his
own. Then you say you rest your case. There was no reason for your initial
attacks!
--

The initial attack was NOYB attacking Don who posted a perfectly good
idea, one that NOYB is now thinking about doing!!


Forget it, bk.
