You righties are such little boys. Shouldn't you be handing out coathangers outside of abortion clinics? Translate this, big boy. You ran one woman off because she was a member of the power squadron and knew something about boats, navigation, rules,search and rescue etc. You ran another off because she was a boater, was an expert in one aspect of boating maintenance, was good looking and intelligent, and was willing to share an opinion or two on politics. Another lady seemed to have a good head for engineering and gave our engine techs a run for their money when discussing the latest engine technology. All of these women had something of interest to offer boaters. Why did you run them off, and why did you seem to have a change of heart about women and embrace the little tramp that latched onto us as of late. Oh and while we are on the subject tell us about the time you took your little boat over to Baltimore Harbor and took photos of one of the ladies on her boat. I guess your stalking her was supposed to creep her out. And another of the ladies whom you spotted at a boat show and stalked her instead of going up to her and introducing yourself to her, like a man. Your vision of reality doesn't make your vision reality. |

Loser pays cuts down of that silliness. Who would be suing? The tanker company suing for a new paint job? Ah good... you've gone back to hiding. Let me know when you want to have a civil discussion. You? A civil discussion? You can't do it! You must call someone names and insult them because you can't. You're no more able to have a civil discussion than Harry is.

Could be wrong though.. |

Perhaps you should replace that Campbell's soup can acoustic modem with a newer model, since the post on which you are commenting is nearly three years old. Your judgment, though, was spot on. First thing, do whatever you can do to get the hell out of the way of a possible collision. *Then* try to find out what the other fellow is doing or thinking or not thinking. -- |
