Just like the brokers!!! so don't go near any of them. The brokers
don't even have a business, no investment, no capitol, nothing, they're
mostly failed used car salesmen & if you don't know what that means then
you deserve what you won't get.

So essentially brokers are one of the few life forms below a
franchised boat dealer & that's almost life on Mars type stuff, however
at least the dealers have a real business, with real overheads, assets,
stock & staff etc, whereas the average slimey broker is just an
unregulated hangeron moron.




Yet another psychotic screed from Karen Smith of Australia, the
self-proclaimed "inventor" of the "Taipan line" of diesel outboards no
one has heard of, and, in fact, no one in the marine industry has heard
of Karen Smith, either.


But she presents a detailed knowledge of marine engines. One which some folks
can only snipe at with their inane comments.


It's your opinion that she presents a "detailed knowledge." Time and
again, her "detailed" knowledge has been shot to shreds by experts with
actual credentials.

Perhaps some people are too easy to convince when they see long, poorly
written posts with a few buzzwords sprinkled in for effect.

When an expert responds to her posts with a different opinion, I enjoy reading
both. *You*, in my opinion, are not an expert. Therefore your snide comments
fall into the 'inane' category.

When an "expert" repsonds to a post about a technical matter, he or she
will be able to do so without making personal attacks and insults the
basis of his or her remarks.

What would you think if you hired a surveyor, and he showed up and
began the process with, "This boat has to be a piece of crap. I can
tell without looking at it. The reason I am so sure is that I know the
present owner, and he is the lowest form of life on the
planet............."?

An expert should be able to render an opinion in an adult and objective
manner.

Of course, if the only field in which one is really an expert is the
depth of their own disgust for other people then opinions expressed in
*that* field of expertise will indeed, read like a non-stop personal
attack.

In the instance of my comment, I believe Karen was responding to a post without
a verbal attack on anyone.

Well then, you must know have read K. Smith's post. I can't say as I
blame you.

K. Smith's post stared out with an attack on Harry and anyone who is
any way associated with the marine industry.

"Without a verbal attack on anyone", please.

I could be wrong. If so, then I'm wrong. I'm not energetic enough to look up the
exact post. I *think* this was one of her rare posts without a personal attack
of Krause.

Well John, here's what she had to reply to Harry:

& the liar just can't help but lie:-)

Calling someone a liar in my book is a personal attack.

of Krause.

I see you come to the defense of K Smith the same as you do the
president, with no bases in fact. At least you're consistant.
