While you're on the subject of ecology Wilbur, would you mind telling

I believe he has a 2 cycle outboard also, talk about oil in the water.



The Tohatsu 6HP is a four-stroke motor and meets Ultra Low emission
standards.

Not only that, but it is rarely used - unlike your diesel boat which
uses
the engine every time it gets underway. My sailing yacht moves about
98% of
the time under sail. Your diesel boat moves 100% of the time under the
pollution-making diesel. You should be ashamed of yourself.

And, probably even when you're not underway, you're running a diesel
powered
generator. So, in effect, you pollute 24/7 when you're out cruising.

So, stop trying to change the subject. Just admit your irresponsible and
selfish attitude concerning your willingness to pollute the very air we
breathe just because you honestly feel your recreation is more important
than our health.


Wilbur Hubbard


Ah Willie-boy but you are rationalizing your need for a motor, aren't
you. A famous (armchair) sailor like you admitting that he needs a
motor. I'm ashamed of you.

Better read another book to teach you how to sail without a motor and
then you can be 100%.

Cheers,

Bruce
(bruceinbangkokatgmaildotcom)

I didn't see him rationalizing anything like that. He said he uses it
rarely and appropriately. How is that a rationalization?

At best it is rationalization. for one who frequently extols his great
skill in pure sailing to be found out to have a (Ugh) motor and to
admit that he uses it appropriately... How can one who is such a
skilled sailor use a motor appropriately?

Given that, they say, life is a learning process, perhaps you would
like to take a look at the dictionary:

Hypocrite:
A person who professes beliefs and opinions that he or she
does not hold in order to conceal his or her real feelings or motives

Or perhaps, to use the vernacular:

Phoney:
A person who professes beliefs and opinions that he or she does not
hold in order to conceal his or her real feelings or motives


If you knew how to use a dictionary, Bruce, you wouldn't have misspelled
'phony.'

SMACKDOWN!


Wilbur Hubbard

A beautiful try Willie-boy; unfortunately you missed it. You 'mericans
are not the final arbitrator of the English language. See the extract
from the dictionary below:

phoney ~ noun very rare
1. a person who professes beliefs and opinions that he or she does
not hold in order to conceal his or her real feelings or motives

phoney ~ adj very rare
1. fraudulent; having a misleading appearance

As I said, if you keep your mouth shut nobody will ever notice how
ignorant you are.

Cheers,

That seems pretty desperate. You should admit when you're wrong about
something especially if it's a small thing.

Thanks. Somebody's got to act mature around here. Bruce is so childish with
his constant name-calling.

Somebody's also got to provide some balance for Bruce who, even when he's
totally wrong, like in spelling phony wrong, even managed to find some
antique dictionary that had a 'very rare' spelling of 'phoney' to attempt to
justify his erroneous spelling rather than man up and admit he was mistaken.
Real sailors don't act like that. LOL!

Did you see what he just posted? It seems like he's deliberately
changing the meaning of what I was talking about. I'm sure i don't
know as much as he does about sailing, but I do know something about
logic and his comments seems to defy that!

My goodness Willie-boy but your reading comprehensive is sadly
lacking. The dictionary I use is WordNet, a free open lexical database
for English, by Cognitive Science Laboratory of Princeton University
under the direction of psychology professor George A. Miller.

Being supported by one of the better U.S. collages I would assume that
it would be satisfactory.

By the way, the classification "very rare" refers to the word's use in
common English usage. Your preferred spelling "phony" is rated exactly
the same.

So, once again the fabled "Outboard Willie" proves that it is better
to be quiet and be thought a fool then to speak and prove it.

I just have one question for you, Bruce. Isn't a "collage" an art form made
from various and sundry smaller parts? So pray tell what does this form of
art have to do with your misspelling phony as 'phoney'?

Enquiring minds wish to know. LOL!

Sorry,but you're not making any sense. I think you're defending your
