Guess I misjudged you in my other post, CWM. You're still

an absurd jerk.


All it takes is a few tugs on his strings, and Doug has him
dancing again.

I'd have to suspect that you probably are a much nicer

person vis-a-vis than
you appear to be by your posts.


people like BB and Bob are real nice to people face to face
, only because they fear them.

You are correct that I do not know Doug personally.


In other words, you make your assertions about my knowledge,
skills, activities, in complete ignorance of them.

Really? Let's take a look at that premise.

I assert that I sail(ed) a Lightning. There are pictures of
me sailing a Lightning and my name on various Lightning
class & regatta websites which are not under my control. You
conclude I lied about owning/sailing/racing Lightning? Not
only that but a purple one (why would anybody lie about that)?

I assert that my wife & I have owned & sailed & cruised a
Hunter 19. Pictures etc etc.

I assert that I am building a carbon fiber dinghy. Perhaps
an overly ambitious project but heck it's my money. Why
would anybody lie about such a thing, aside from the
pictures I've shown of the boat in various stages of progress?

I assert that I owned & sailed & raced a Johnson 18. Not
only have I shown pics of myself & my wife sailing it, but
once again my name is on various other websites. You got my
phone # and old address from the Johnson 18 class website,
so if I lied about that it makes you look pretty stupid.

So, let's go back and ask again, why do you think I make
untrue statements? Looks like a pretty good & verifiable
record so far.


Actually, you'd be uneasy if you realized how much I know
about you.



Yeah, you keep saying that, but you are totally clueless, as has been
demonstrated countless times. You don't even know my first name.

Go ahead. Tell us! Give me a shred of evidence that you know anything about me
personally.


Why would I do that? It would give away an advantage to no
purpose. Unlike you I have little reason to bluster & brag
on the internet.

.... You spent months convinced I was Bobsprit posting under another
name


I'm still not convinced

... because your overblown ego couldn;t accept that more than one person
thought you were a blowhard jerk.


Not really, it's more because the odds are very small that 2
persons with the exact same socio-pathology and the same
vocabulary would show up in this tiny corner of cyberspace.

It also strikes me as very unlikely that another person
would be so determined to take revenge for slights against
Bobsprit. It also strikes me as unlikely that a another
person would include me as a target of revenge when I have
not done anything to Bobsprit, such as posting his address
or insulting his wife; yet this is the "reason" you gave for
posting what you thought was my address and cyber-stalking
my wife. OTOH Bobsprit has long been as spiteful &
hate-filled toward me as his tiny putrid self can be.



... Being able to read and understand headers
might have saved you a lot of embarrassment.


Being able to hop proxies more adroitly might save you a
date in court, or worse.

Did you get fired for your little stalking escapade or just
chewed out? See, I admit I don't know... I also don't care.

Maxprop is not real. He's just another character on

usenet. He used to post
under his real name, but that was a long time ago. Now he

plays a character
named maxprop. I'm at least as real as he is. I'm also a

lot nicer in person. I
absolutely guarantee it!



In other words, you have no life outside of this NG.
that's so pathetic.

Actually, outside of this newsgroup CWM is a real gentleman with a great
sense of wit. I've met him twice.

That is one of the greatest compliments a person could be served. Thank
you
kindly for classifying me in the same sailing category as Doug King. While
I
believe he is leagues beyond my experience and ability, your consideration
of me as his peer is warmly appreciated.

Thank you,

Gilligan


Just further evidence that you are a know-nothing non-sailing bag of
farts.

Don't let it get you down. Doug doesn't. He enjoys obliviously wallowing
in
muck.

CWM


Right you are there Chuck.

I don't own a boat, I've never sailed.

Everything I say is made up.

And yet you emotionally respond to everything I say.

Keep swinging at air.

Perhaps you could introduce us, then. I'd also like to meet
Lloyd Bonafide and shake his hand some day.

Agreed, but then it's also true that you can learn a lot
about how a boat sails... specifically, what techniques it
rewards and which ones it doesn't... sailing a sistership.


Also agreed. It's a great way to get a good (or bad) impression of a
particular boat. I sailed dozens of different boats for five years (or
something like that) before getting serious about buying the Sabre.

The vast majority of production boats are far from
one-design, details of hull construction (if not actual hull
shape) and rig vary tremendously over a production run.
Still, the basic proportions of hull, foils, rig, etc are so
close that the boats will behave pretty much the same. Then
again, to jump on a sisership with different sails &
different tuning might give you the impression that it's a
completely different boat.

As for the specifics of a given boat's gear, deck layout,
wiring, etc etc... you're right on, a sistership is useless
as a teaching platform.


Yep. For general impressions and such, they're fine, but for a
purchase, no way.
