The real world where scumwads like Cecil rape women.

Am I really the only one to find this posting objectionable?

This is, so far as I am aware, a U.K. newsgroup dedicated to cruising in
small boats, any cruising involved in this thread has nothing whatever do
with that.

May I point out that:

A) There is no evidence that our Wilbur is the party mentioned.

B) There is no positive identification of the crime itself, let alone the
perpetrator. If this alleged crime involved having consentual sex with say
a 17 year old, rape in the USA, all we would say in the UK would be along
the lines of, "You dirty lucky individual you!"

I would draw the posters attention to the following few lines drawn from
the web page he directs us to:-

"Compliance Unit at (1-888-357-7332) between the hours of 8am and 6:30pm,
Monday through Friday.

Positive identification cannot be established unless a fingerprint
comparison is made.
Any person who misuses public records information relating to a sexual
predator, as defined in this section, or a sexual offender, commits a
misdemeanor of the first degree. Please see 775.21(10)(c) for more
information."

Would the poster really like us to draw the attention of the relevent
authorities to his meanderings?

While Wilbur may be the worlds worst troll, in fact I very much hope he is
because I'd hate to come across a worse one, he has in the past
occasionally proved a wise and authorative councillor to those of us with
problems within his, non sexual, field of knowledge and he just does not
deserve to be hounded by nut cases like the original poster.

And by the way Wilbur should you happen to read this, windmill powered
boats really can sail, slowly, directly into the wind, the downside being
that they sail almost as slowly downwind.

As you may recall I answered one of your trolls years ago on this subject
as I had actually seen it done with my own eyes.

Then your eyes deceived you. There was contained somewhere in the device
stored energy. I bet you did not have the chance to closely examine the
device. I bet nobody else was afforded that privilege either.

The simply physics of the matter involve the fact that it takes more energy
to sail directly into the wind than the wind can possibly provide. Given a
perfect system that had no losses from friction or other mechanical losses
the best that a windmill powered sailboat could do would be to hold station
against the wind.

In the real world the best a windmill powered sailboat could do is be blown
downwind less fast than without the windmill because of the existence of
friction and other mechanical losses.

Your windmill powered sailboat is just another perpetual motion fantasy.
