Hey, a couple of us are discussing philosophy in another thread and we
haven't come to blows yet. I think boating is a philosophy. I was never
much
of a power boater.. don't see the attraction.. if I want to go fast, I
take
a plane. Sailing on the other hand, seems very zen-like.

Ms Plume has been a cogent poster here and I enjoyed our exchanges,
even if we don't agree on a lot of things but I think I am joining the
"trusers" myself. When discussions simply become insults I don't want
to participate anymore.


Thanks! Agreement is over-rated anyway. It doesn't add much to
understanding if all you have is a bunch of people nodding their heads in
agreement. When I'm with my close friends, we argue all the time about
politics and religion. A couple of them are Born-againers and we can have
a lively discussion without screeching.

I'm afraid you won't see that happening here, Sweetie. There's some folk
here that are programmed to holler racist, bigot, moron, and insult family
members at every opportunity. It's usually in response to someone
expressing an opinion on politics or religeon.
You never answered John about why you get so aroused over talking with a
bunch of nasty old men about religion and politics. Don't you have
anything better to do?


Pot, kettle, black. Looks like you're outnumbered by reasonable people Jimmy
Bob.

Florida Jim is one of ranking assholes of rec.boats, a boatless,
jealous, cantankerous old fart who hasn't had a decent job since being
mustered out of the Vietnam era navy.

He's also a coward.

Who is this Bob fella. No sirre Bob. Us conservatives are the reasonable
ones. You loons that fawn over liers, cheats, and thieves are the crazy
ones. Krausie and company which includes you are beating a dead horse
over all this political and economic nonsense. You cant change nuttin by
bawling and blustering about it here. Go join some political action
group or do something useful with your life instead of boring us to tears.

No you are most certainly not Toots Sweet. I am Toots Sweet.

I could be you if I wanted to.

However, allow me to introduce myself. I am Sean "Toots" Flanagan -
Son of The Sod immigrating here when I was but a wee lad at 5 years
old to use the hoary vernacular. While I largely keep to myself
nowadays since my dear bride Emma (40 years of blessed marriage) died,
I have been slowly reintroducing myself into polite society as time
and obligations permit.

I am a bartender by trade, a philosopher by training and own two
resturant/pubs in a major East Coast metropolitan area which are very
successful due to hard work and long hours. I enjoy cruising and
sailing. I recently sold my two boats, a forty eight foot Hatteras
and a 56 foot Mason Yachts cutter and purchased a thirty six foot
Zimmerman Marine cruiser in which I plan to enjoy the islands of the
Carribean with my last years on this Earth. My sons and daughter are
handling the business

Which is why I'm here. One of the participants in this newsgroup (who
shall remain nameless for obvious reasons) mentioned that there was a
chap here who owned a similar boat to my Zimmerman and maybe we could
discuss the similarities and differences between boats as Zimmerman
Yachts are generally custom built to specification. As of yet, I have
not seen much in the way of boating posts and I'm still not aware of
who owns the Zimmerman because after taking the lay of the land by
observation for a few weeks, it became apparent that this is not a
"boating" group at all, but a place for rancourous political
discourse. Being libertarian by nature (and most likely heritage) I
had to join the fray by tickling the sensitivities of the left wing
pseudo revolutionaries that seem to infest most on-line forums now.
It's our nature as Irishmen to argue over anything at any time - one
might almost think we are really Italians.

So, with that out of the way, perhaps you might point out to me who
owns the Zimmerman or perhaps after reading this, the person who does
might want to open up discussion about our boats. Maybe even join up
for a short cruise showing the Zimmerman flag if you will as there are
not a lot of Zimmerman Yachts around.
