Propane canister from hell

You're just trying to justify your panicky reaction. With all due respect, your reaction and responses are totally inappropriate. Propane is extremely explosive and quite deadly to boats and people in small quantities. The only acceptable level of risk is zero, and the only acceptable location for a leaking cylinder is somewhere else. You have no business posting advice or opinions on a boating group since you have no knowledge of boats to impart. With all due respect, what I said was totally appropriate. Frog over reacted and could easily have dealt with the situation without polluting the environment with a metal canister. He could have attached the can to his spare anchor (he has one right?), and dumped on the down current side of the boat. Then, any out-gassing would have moved with the current and away from his boat. He claims that it was leaking, so it couldn't have been full. He then goes on the claim that a wading pool is somehow equivalent to an entire ocean. Further, he claims that the gas would somehow migrate UP into his boat through various holes, then migrate UP some more to finally get into the cabin. Finally, you claim that I post off-topic and you don't like it. When I post something that's on topic, you don't like it and try to slam me for doing so. You're a hypocrite and not even good at hiding it. If you're so upset by me, why are you so concerned? Why don't you just ignore me like you ignore anything else that doesn't fit into your tiny little box of what is and what isn't acceptable? Frog has yet to address the quite valid responses and suggestions I made. If he were a real sailor, he would learn from his mistakes and accept the criticism. Obviously neither you nor he can do that. |
