It looks like you started this thread, so you could throw some barbs at
JimH.

Looks like?
To whom? Mr Magoo?

Somebody else slammed poor ol' JimH and I spoke up to defend him. How
is that throwing barbs?
The only people who could think I was throwing barbs at JimH would be
folks who believe he fits the generic descrption of people who respond
to boating related posts with personal insults and remarks. Apparently
that includes JimH, although I can't understand why. Do you also
believe that JimH fits the generic description? Why would that be?

This is really bizarre. JimH accuses me of dragging him into this
thread, when all I have done is defend him from some remarks made by a
third party. How strange. I've even been asked to prove or justify my
defense of JimH- and by none other than JimH himself! Way weird, if you
ask me.

And the entire purpose of posting the remarks elsewhere was supposed to
be to avoid the snot fight that ordinarily erupts when comments about a
boat are posted here. Looks like we have the same old snot fight,
anyway. What does that mean? That some people are just spoling for a
snot fight, and boating related comments have only been used as a
convenient excuse? I'd like to think not.

I changed my mind, I am sure you would never throw snotty remarks towards
Jim, you are above that. ; )

As predicted, the Chuck spin begins....as does the "who, me?" routine.
Predictable.

And I am still waiting for the link to where I said my "on-topic posts are
*far*
more numerous than most partcipants' here, specifically outnumbering mine
(yours) by a *significant* amount." ...your quote (I added the *'s ).

I never said that. You know it. An apology is in order if you are man
enough to step to the plate Chuck.

Are you man enough to admit when *you* are wrong and slammed/flamed someone
for no reason?

1. If you really want me to google up your comments about your
relatively high number of boating-realted posts, as well as your
comment that those posts specifically outnumber my boating-related
posts I'll try to set aside some time when the more important issues of
the day have been resolved to fiddle with it.


Yes I would like you to google up where I said my "on-topic posts are far
more numerous than most partcipants' here, specifically outnumbering mine
(yours) by a significant amount."

Please show me where I made that specific claim and don't try to weasle out
of it.



May I suggest you not
press this issue?

I am pressing it. Please provide proof I said what you claimed I said.

It really is pathetic that *you* threw me into your thread (I had made no
comment in your thread prior to you bring me into it) and *you* ended up
turning it into an OT flaming thread.

Go figure Chuckie.

Yes, pretty pathetic.


As you continue to insist:

June 17, 2005. Post #21 in thread "Observation Sea Ray 200 Select".
Google it up and see for yourself. I'd repost it here, but that would
only lead to some ridiculous diversionary comment about the mechanics
by which I posted it rather than address the core issue: your claim
that you never said your on-topic posts far exceed my own. (You seek to
make an issue out of this, even though I used your own statement about
your number of on-topic posts as a cornerstone of my logic when I
defended you from another party's unprovoked attack. That is completely
bizarre.)

By the way, this took about 20 seconds to find. You want some more? I
warned you this would bite you on the arse, but perhaps you feel
"cornered" once again.



Now spin on Mr. Spinmeister.

You google it.....you supposedly found it. Post it Chuck. Post what I said
in that thread as I did not say my "on-topic posts are far more numerous
than most partcipants' here, specifically outnumbering mine (yours) by a
significant amount."

I never said that and you know it. Liar.

So are you man enough to apologize?

I guess not.

OK....I will post it. Here is what I said in that thread:

"My recent *on topic* posts far exceed yours. You have also started
far more *off topic* posts."

You accused me of saying my "on-topic posts are far more numerous than most
partcipants' here, specifically outnumbering mine (yours) by a significant
amount."

I await your apology.

Are you man enough to admit when *you* are wrong and slammed/flamed someone
for no reason?

1). I didn't slam or flame anybody- reason or not. I told altman that
you wouldn't be likely to post insults or make personal remarks because
you were too busy making on-topic contribtutions to the NG. By your own
count, your claim your on-topic posts certainly exceed my own. Where is
the slam? Where is the flame?

2). If I was wrong, perhaps it was when I made the statement that you
were unlikely to post personal insults or remarks. In fact, it looks as
though I was very incorrect when I stated you were unlikely to post
personal insults or remarks, and so of course I will do the proper,
honorable, thing. "I hereby apologize for my mischaracterization of
JimH as in individual unlikely to post insults or personal remarks."

Hopefully that squares us up on this. :-)

More specifically to the point, JimH is a mature, intelligent adult who
would certainly never give anybody a *reason* to toss snotty remarks in
his direction. By his own admission, he has a wealth of boating
knowledge and experience and is a prolific on-topic poster here.
Participation by such people should be encouraged, and I would
certainly be doing the NG a disservice to follow JimH around the NG and
dump buckets of personal crap into his threads. (Consider the
"impressive sniping" thread for example- it was of such extreme value
to the NG that I made only a single comment and it didn't even mention
JimH). We need more guys like JimH. That's exactly why I defended him
against the unwarranted personal attack. :-)
