Dan, he's a troll...

Dan, (the other guy) is a troll...

In the couple of weeks I've been back, I've seen valid comments from
just about everybody as well as some irritating "he's a troll/no he's a
troll" bickering. That, quite frankly, I'd just as soon do without. A
lot of it seems hang on the questioning of someone's credentials. As
far as I'm concerned, it doesn't matter. I don't care whether someone
taught the Pardeys everything they know or is just beginning. I've
learned something from people at both ends of the experience spectrum
and like to think that a few people have benefited from what I've had to
say from time to time.

Good advice is good advice and there are enough people hanging out here
that bad advice will be challenged and fail to be accepted. In fact
there are enough contrary people here that good advise is often
challenged. The difference is in whether or not it stands up to the
challenge and is generally accepted by the group as sound.

Claiming that someone can't have a valid opinion because he's never been
out of sight of land or doesn't have a captain's license is a pretty
poor way to debate an issue in my opinion.

Tell the original poster why you think (don't think) a hunter 34 is a
good offshore boat. If you wanna bash each other personally, I'd just
as soon you took it offline. Better yet, trade land addresses so you
can get together and really duke it out. Let me know when and where and
I'll even sell tickets to the event and split the proceeds with you (grin).
