Hey, we were talking at crossed prurposes. I mentioned Baltimore several
times -whether (or not) the ship might have gone to Boston would have
not helped let me see we were talking about different ships with very
similar names would it? I think it's much more revealing how certain
people crow on about an innocent mistaken identity don't you?

Cheers

Now you're actually claiming you did it purpose to be sarcastic?

While its true that you mentioned once that you had lived in Baltimore, you
ignored that fact that I (and others) mentioned Boston as the home of the
Constitution a number of times. And we said a number of times that you seemed
to be describing a different ship from what we all knew. Any reasonable person
would have stopped to consider if they were making a mistake. But not you,
Navvie!

And it wasn't that you made a simple mistake, it was the insisted that you knew
more about the Constitution than everyone else! Classic!

And your point is what, that I was describing a different ship with a
very similar name? Big deal. It's hilarious that you still don't see the
sarcasm in my refence to her "motor". But if it makes you feel good I'll
say it again, I _was_ talking about the Constellation in _BALTIMORE_ and
not the Constitution -although why you seemed to continually miss the
fact that I was talking about a ship in Baltimore is beyond me. I guess
you only see what you want. At least I can acknowlege when I'm wrong.

Now why don't you tell us again about how great an engineer you are?

Cheers

The discussion was originally about "Old Ironsides" and went on for a
dozen or more posts about the "USS Constitution" ver specifically.

Amazing what just a few seconds in the archives can reveal.

Constellation actually, little man.

No, you just plain didn't know WTF you were talking about.

Actually, you didn't. Jeff and I both mentioned Boston several times and
you apparently either missed it (poor reading skills) or were trying to
fake your way out of it.

You mean, certain people (or one person in particular) crowing about
their (his) tremendous knowledge & expertise when they've made...
repeatedly... a very obvious mistake in identity, and clearly don't know

Now if you think my mistaking the Constitution for the Constellation is
a big deal then so be it. I think to anyone else it would be an obvious
minor error -after all their names are very similar and they were both
rotting on the East coast at the same time. But to you it seems like
such a big thing to try to make me look ignorant. Now why would that be?

Look Doug, get used to it, I have a wonderful rich life and enjoy a good
argument. In fact I even deliberately provoke it. But your childish
scampering around this playground does you no good. You seem to like to
BS almost all the time but it's so easy to catch you out. So just try to
stick to tips on sail trim and boat cleaning and you'll do much better.

This advice really is in your best interest -you don't want your blood
pressure to get worse do you? People would miss you if you had a cardio.

No, I think your mistaking the Constitution... and Boston... when both
are spelled out at least a half dozen times... for the Constellation &
Baltimore, is typical for you. To be charitable, it could be an example
of poor reading skills.

To then go on & crow about your superior knowledge, and freely insult
everyone who disagrees with you, and then boldly deny you ever made a
mistake at all, is the kind of behavior that ill-mannered children
should be corrected for. It's a shame that you suffer under the handicap
of never learning better.

You think I crow or is it could it be that I question in a way designed
to disclose ignorance? If you mistake my comments for crowing so be it,
but I think that just reflects your jealousy of the wonderful life I
lead. Now, I freely admitted my simple mistake about the Constellation
when Jeff identified it. It was you that then "crowed" about it like a
child isn't it? In fact I've always acknowledged when I'm wrong -but the
discussant has to show why I am and not simply naysay (like you). I
don't resort to ad hominems or insults until I'm insulted (I treat like
with like and if people are polite then so am I)-but the record shows
that you frequently start insulting people who disagree with you. So
what is this post except more bile from you? Like I said, _you_ are the
one who makes yourself look bad.
