Why must everyone deride and mock the Good Captain?

Why not?

Actually, not everyone does.


... He is one of the few to
think primarily of ideas, of cause and effect.

You mean, he spends hours every mornging trying to figure out how to put
on his shoes?


... He's consistently kept this
board on track with pertinent sailing related topics and broadened it by
applying time tested truths to the world at large.

Oh really? Like his "special foil section" he applied to his keel?


... I, for one, admire the
Good Captain who disdains the fashionable for the correct and true! He is a
real life role model for everyone, being a principled humantarian and
philosopher. The Good Captain knows the difference between "fun" and
contentment. God Bless him.

Agreed. May the good Lord keep him safe (probably best accomplished by
keeping him away from power tools and deep water), and far away.
