Nah, he's not worth the time or effort. Good post though.

All that stuff is just horrible Scotty. I certainly wouldn't
stand for it.

The question remains: A genius by what measure?

You and others apparently are not offended enough to ignore
Bobsprit or seek
justice. He gets attention from his vulgarity, so obviously he
understands
how much people will take. He's also good at getting under
people's skin and
staying there. He drives people to the point where they no
longer think and
he's won. He has several weak points and he knows it. The
problem is, no one
stays rational enough to work those weak points.

If you are really offended with what he wrote about your mom
and wife,
simply print out the whole email (headers and all) and mail it
to his wife.
Include some of his other choice posts and the amount of time
he spends
trolling (there's logs available that gives an individual's
posting
frequency). Send the private details of their life that he
posts here. You
can even throw in a few forgeries where he describes Suzy's
sexual prowess
in great detail and include a photoshop of her in a porn scene.
I'm sure
she'll be highly offended and Robbie will have the computer
taken away.
After all, she is paying for it. Track down the Ghost babes and
let them
know what he says. Send some stuff to his dad in Pennsylvania.
Copy stuff
over to the Bennetau board so they see what he is. There's
plenty that can
be done, if you want him to stop such horrible behavior.

But it's just like the battered wife syndrome, if you don't
beat them
they'll find someone who will. I believe some people desire and
like
Robbie's abuse. It makes for a rough day at the playground.

The bottom line is, if you are going to tangle with him, expect
to get a
black eye now and then. He's good at what he does and to think
otherwise may
be foolish. He knows how far to push the envelope and how to
play people. In
that regard he is a genius.

I also think he is a sailor of very good judgement. He knows
his skill level
and limitations. Why sail offshore out of sight of land and
risk losing it
all, when you can sail close to shore and risk only running
over an old
Italian lady splashing water in her armpits in ankle deep surf
(sewage)?

The only person ever to put Robbie in his place was Tadpole.
But Tadpole is
the only person here capable of wrestling with swine by not
having to climb
down in the mud.

Amen!

No lava for you Scotty!

Lava for Robbie!

I think Bobsprit is a genius. Anyone who can manipulate
people
with his
skill is no dummy. He has sharp retorts, witty replies and
shoots accurately
from the hip.

The guy hustles. He sells tons of crap on eBay and has
gotten
himself great
deals on boats. He also knows his cameras, telescopes and
to a
much lesser
degree home theater. He puts time into researching things.
I
don't think the
guy will ever get the short end of a deal or make a very
stupid
mistake.

His wife is a babe. She goes out and works. Guess what? He
must
be doing
something right. His yachting excursions always have women
crawling all
over the boat. The seagulls follow them for miles!

He spends a lot of time at his boat. He has an active,
positive
social life
centered around sailing. Is something wrong with that?

What people don't appreciate is his fine New York attitude.
Expressions such
as "drop dead", "have a nice day but not here", "bite me",
"scrotum breath"
are all of the New York venacular. New Yorkers are tough,
perhaps the
mentally toughest in the country. They can dish it out and
they
can take it.
Remember that all the abuse Bob dishes out is given back to
him
by each of
you many times over. The fan blows the crap in both
directions.

Yes, he has some faults. But he must have some very good
points
too. You
don't push buttons as well as he without having some deeper
understanding of
life and human kind. I think in real life he is a
benevolent
individual.
Perhaps he unloads a little bit of his dark side here, but
it
doesn't really
harm anyone unless they themselves has some psychological
disorder.

In conclusion Robbie is not stupid. He does not lack
judgement
either. He
knows what he wants and is willing to pay for it (on his
own
terms).

But none of this will stop the lava from entering his scoop
transom!

Amen!

Poll: Is Swabbie "stupid", or does he "lack judgment"?

Not long ago I argued Swabbie was "stupid" for what
he has done to his reputation. In my opinion stupidity
is more than simply intellect. I contend that those who
make poor decisions, do so repeatedly. I can think of
no decision worse than the self-destruction of a
reputation.

Could I have been wrong?

Perhaps Swabbie simply lacks judgment.

I propose a poll to determine which is the case.

If the majority contends Swabbie merely lacks judgment
and
good sense, I will humbly apologize to Swabbie for
calling
him
stupid. If the poll reveals I am correct, then perhaps
Swabbie
won't take it so personally.


Here it is:
************************************************
Regarding Swabbie Robbie, aka Booby, boobsprit, bobsprit.
************************************************
Is he:
************************************************
A. "STUPID" or

B. "LACKING GOOD JUDGMENT"?

Vote now.

Results tabulated no later than Election Day.

BS! I go to NYC 8 times a month, in fact I'll be in Staten IS.
today, most everyone there has always been very nice and polite
to me. Of course, Booby wouldn't dare act like he does face to
face.

And Bob, let me add to that...this whole thread exists now (not a
normal thread for poor Bart) because I posted that he had called me and
asked to meet one of my lady friends. I posted her picture. I'm glad I
didn't do it. Bart also told me a story of how he'd gotten to a late
stage in his life and still hadn't found anyone who'd have him. No
doubt Bart is frustrated. He might be a more experienced sailor than
me, but he'll never get anywhere with women if he can't learn to pick
battles he can win.
This one is lost for him. True..I know my weaknesses, but few others
here do. The best part is...TWO of "you" met me in person and basically
play the part of a mole for me. Who could it be? Not EVER who you'd
think! These folks can't win because they imagine they're clever, have
me outgunned and even think they KNOW me! It's an amazing joke for the
three of us...and to a few like Mooron who can see the game for what it
is. The rest just spin at the end of my line daily.
And thus it shall always be...until I tire of it.

Why not be generous for once and let Bart slide off your back. If he's
looking for the perfect companion, help him out or at least wish him the
best. He's out there looking and you can't fault him for that. Cut him some
slack, he's a good natured guy.
Ultimately, no one can beat you as long as it is on your terms.

So does your isolator have a capacitor?

Well Swabbie the vote seemed inconclusive. Most
here seem to think you are stupid AND have poor
judgment.

I view it as one or the other.

I made my own decision. I think you are not
stupid, merely a terrible decision maker for the
damage you have done to your reputation.

However, I do apologize for calling you stupid,
albeit I'm reluctant to do so.

The fact you have lied so much, that nothing you
say will ever be taken seriously, is disgraceful.

Bad news, Bart. ANYONE who participates here has a damaged rep
according to the other sailing groups. No distinctions are made. If it
makes you happy to call people names, go for it. Other than that, my
reputation is so good that you're all jealous of me. I have a nice
boat, beautiful wife and child and money to play. You basically are the
typical poster child for Sailing.asa, just like Neal....crappy or
project dated boat and can't get laid in a morgue!
Luckily I need not resort to school yard name calling.
