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.
You seem quite self-contradicting given your advice to me in a recent post.

You really don't know the true Bobsprit. Temper your opinions accordingly.

CWM
Bobsprit does not even make an attempt at being a real person. In the
years I have been posting on this group, he has lied, obfuscated and
mislead more times than anyone can count. And then he laughs and admits
his game. Of that is not the real BS, than what is there to value? It's
only self-contradicting if I, too, were playing the game and did not
represent myself as I really am. Does he have something to fear? Does
he need to cloak his identity in secrecy? Or is his anonymity just a
shield to protect his adolescent behavior? If you know him personally,
then tell us about him. If your rendition is far away from what he
represents here, then I feel sorry that you are indeed associated with a
sociopath.
Never met him or even talked with him on the phone. Why don't you try following
your own advice some time? Why would I think you are any more genuine and real
than anyone else here? A few sock puppets verifying lies about each other isn't
much in the way of proof. You might be one character in a menagerie created by
someone else. How would I know differently, and why would I care, given that
this is usenet?

CWM
I've never hid who I am, where I live, or what I do. If I had, I would
have suffered a lot less grief, but being a basically honest person who
is comfortable with who I am; I've never seen a reason to hide my
identity. Maxprop is a real person and is in person as he is here.
Can't speak to his reasons why he's using a pseudonym. I use this ng as
a way to keep in touch with other sailors, those I know in person, those
I don't know, and those I hope ti meet in the future. Usenet is many
different things to diferent people. Since you've been upfront about
the fact that you use Usenet for subterfuge, then so be it. Post away.

How can you prove that you are not an invention (sockpuppet) of Captain Neal? I
have no way of knowing that you are really who you say you are. You wouldn't
believe how many usenet nitwits say they are somehow honest and believeable
because they post under what they claim is their own name. Who says it's their
own name? I used to get that crap all the time, and so now I post under what
LOOKS like a regular name, and for the most part nobody anywhere in usenet
questions it.

CWM
In Ocotner you can come down to New Bern and introduce yourself. As
simple as that.
