Doug is a know nothing, non-sailing, Bag of Farts and now Gilly is a
know nothing, non-sailing bag of farts.
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
Those of us who know Doug, know the truth. BS obviously doesn't know him.
Neither does CWM. They should be so lucky.

I think the opposite may be true and they could be acting out of jealousy or
even worse. Krusty has made it be known that Doug's wife is a doctor that is
head of an entire medical division at one of the world's greatest university
hospitals and BS wife is an entry level nurse (trade school educated) at a
single specialty institution. How could BS top that? Then it is easy to find
out that Doug is a champion sailor and has sailed for many decades. How
could BS top that? Doug can afford to run a trawler and he's looking for a
largish racing sailboat. How can BS top that? Doug lives in a beautiful area
with more trees in his yard than BS has in a quarter mile radius. How can BS
top that? Add to that Doug's licensed professional maritime qualifications
(held for decades), Doug's science backed college education, Doug's ability
to think rationally, Doug's knowledge of history, economics, all things
nautical, his musical abilities, etc there is nothing BS can top. That's why
the relentless personal attacks by BS. He is simply jealous or may even be
tinged by hatred.

I don't like to see Robert abused by so many, so I think when he puffs
himself up with his many maritime fantasy-experiences - surveyor, harbor
pilot, electrical technician or whatever Walter Mitty thought happens to be
occupying his mind at the time we should be the better person, amuse him and
offer encouragement.


Counter-productive. Entrenching him in his own delusions will only
serve to make the problem worse. I see your point about the foundations
of his claims against Doug, but do not think it should be played into.
Rather. he should be castigated and brought to his senses..or at the
very least, reminded to take his meds and keep his shrink appointments.
