Its the people not the bots that are a problem. But GENERALLY speaking, certain kinds of people seem to get their hands on certain kinds of toys, and aren't smart or considerate enough to use them without driving others crazy. So, the two things (people and toys) can't really be separated. Around these parts, we call them "penis boats", because they are nothing more than a phallic symbol for those lacking in that department, UNLESS you actually race boats, different story all together. But, if you just generally go to where the crowds are, and make noise, etc., then yes, it's a substitute for a real penis. You know who you are... You really need to get a clue, since you obviously know nothing about what you're talking about. Dave This will require focusing on the numbers in the paragraph. Imagine a body of water. It's between 50 and 200 feet deep everywhere, 4 miles wide, and the water's flat as a pancake with no wind. Imagine that it has an East side and a West side. For whatever reason, the fishing's terrific on the East side along the shore. There are 20 boats anchored or drifting in a zone from the shore to a half mile out. Not a sound. A penis boat is flying back and forth within 1/4 mile of those boats, over and over again, when it could be doing its thing on the opposite side of the body of water. Forget the wake. Pretend it does not exist. Focus on the noise. This is NOT what you like to call a "straw man". It's a perfect example of a strawman. It does not reflect reality. It's real. Assuming that you're 100% factual, and have not injected any bias or prejudice into your "strawman", the fact that ONE guy acts like an idiot does not translate to the whole sport being subject to the same prejudice. Why does the owner of the penis boat not understand the situation? You are projecting the actions of jetski's onto those of performance boat operators. Guys who spend $30k a piece on a custom set of big block engines, $800 a piece on custom stainless props, and over $100K total in the rest of the boat do not do that so that they can run back and forth in the same little 1/4 mile stretch of water. I know I wouldn't (and don't). It makes no sense. Dave |
