Is this the best you can offer?

Roger ,,, on and on you go. Always the same theme. You know everything
and anybody who disagrees is not a sailor but a "putterer".

"Nothing reveals the ignorance and lack of sea sense of armchair coastal
putterers more than the posts that Barnes must have been a poor sailor
simply because he lost his boat in the great southern ocean. There are
few
simple and sweeping statements you can make about the sea. About the
closest is this, if you get your sailboat into conditions where large
waves
are breaking due to bottom effect you are in deep, deep ****, man. "

Why don't you for once just admit you don't have any idea what happened to
Ken Barnes and his boat.
What we do know is this: he set out to sail around the world. He was in
a
very well constructed boat.
Somehow, his well constructed boat got damaged, it did not sink. Mr
Barnes
decided to leave his well constructed
boat and the boat is now sunk.

These are the facts.

Calling people "putterers" because they might have a different opinion
from
yours, cheapens the value of your conjecture.

I fancy the word putterer. In fact, I like it. Until I am able to sail
off
for 6 months at a stretch, and experience all that the ocean has to offer
on
a small sailboat; being a putterer is fine with me.

Captain "Putterer" .. and proud of it.


I think "Captain Putz" suits you better.
