true

Jonathan, if Scotty's agreeing with me, then you must be right!


Bob, if you are stupid enough to believe that fenders on deck are safe,
then you are an idiot.

He was a loser before, is one now, and always will be.

What a sad frustrated old man Scotty is. Twas a time he had humor. Now

he's
just bitter, calling me names in a witless gargle of depressing poorly

spelled
profanity.


Is your name Bush?? Perhaps you could translate that into English for us??


You should leave the long words to others.

You should be afraid. You can't accurately predict the situation whereby

the
fender will be a hazard; therefore, the best approach is to eliminate the
hazard,
actually as many hazards as reasonably possible. You haven't done that,
therefore
you're putting yourself and your crew in danger by being lazy.

And, yet again, I'm creating no rules. I'm just pointing out that you're

not
following
common sense.

Absolutely wrong. It doesn't take 2 hours to create a hazard. It only
takes a careless, lazy act (or lack thereof), and a moment's

inattention.

Doen't apply to me, I'm afraid. No danger in a fender on deck in

conditions
described. You can create you're own rules, but please stay out of mine.

Prove to me that fenders on deck are dangerous during a two hour afternoon sail
during calm weather and near shore.
Go ahead! I'm waiting!

Bwahahahaha! What a coward!

Based on this idea, I should also keep everyone tethered as well and wearing
PFDs with signal lights.
Really, Jonathan! You're being very silly. We're talking about two fenders on
deck in calm conditions for a few hours. NO WAY can anyone be hurt by them
unless they explode and create a time vortex bringing a T-Rex on deck and
thereby capsizing the boat.
Stop being silly.

No. This has nothing to do with being foolish, of which you are
an expert. This has to do with using some common sense and
not leaving obvious hazards on deck. Unless you're using the
fenders, they should be stowed. Now, if you had shown us a
picture whereby one of your crew was using a fender for a
headrest, then you could make the claim that it was being used
and would be stowed or was stowed. As it is, you're the one
being silly... not fessing up to something that's blatant, and obviously
wrong.

You're asking him to climb on your boat, which I would imagine
would exceed the stupidity that you've shown about this topic.
Even a donal fish isn't going to do that.
