I don't mean to be rude, but there are considerable more polictical posts
on
this group then there are boats. Shouldn't we stay on target and post the
polictical BS on another site?

who own outboard/sterndrive trailerable boats, Chucky? Do you feel their
opinions are not worthy? Are their views less valid than yours? Truth be
known, many of these boaters you view as inferior actually have much
greater and varied boating experiences than yourself. They have traveled
boating worlds you never will.

So, Commodore Chucky, perhaps it's time you wake up and realize you are
more of a hypocritical problem than a wise solution for this NG. Can you
stop the denigration of fellow boaters? Having met you and experienced
your personal and business ethics, I rather doubt it. And while we're on
this subject, can you imagine Peggy or Bill Granis labeling fellow
contributors as "non-boaters" and engaging them in long political
banter? Can you visualize the Commodore doing so?

Back to snipping posts to completely distort their meanings, and then
picking a fight based on the distortion? You never cease to amaze me,
Dave. You lie so blatantly (by distorting what others have said) and so
openly that you must have no personal regard for truth at all. (Or you
feel that you're surrounded by such idiots that nobody is likely to
notice). I keep hoping for the recovery of your
mental/physical/emotional health. I don't know that you were ever truly
a "nice guy", but you might ask yourself why so many different people
have commented on the new, not-at-all- improved- but- defintiely-
changed "Skipper" since your return. Hint: It isn't a conspiracy,
really, it isn't.

Kevin,
I think Don was talking about you when he said the worst OT posters
don't own a boat.


Sorry Mr. Smithers.
Everyone here knows I have a Sandpiper 565 sailboat.
I believe he's questioning your mode of water transportation.

Whoops...did I get this backwards?
Anyway...my statement stands and yours is full of hot air.


We know you have a boat Don. How is it you know that Kevin has one?

Hey, Jim, he doesn't know if Kevin has a boat or not. He does, however,
know that I have one. And he knows who I am.....he's brighter than you.

Now, Jim, why in the world won't you answer my simple question to you:

Jim, how come you didn't ask that a few hundred times before you bought

an old runabout?


I did.

Obviously you know nothing of boats if you call a 1997 model *old*.

Got it Kevin? Good.

If you are speaking about yourself..... 'only in your dreams'.
Your wild & wooly stories about the Sea of Cortez outed you.

And Don proves once again that stupid is as stupid does.

Interesting that my observations so inflamed you and you were unable to
address directly the questions posed. Could it be yet another case of NG
NPD? Do you really feel holier than thou, Commodore?

Your "questions" were based on the lie you created when you snipped my
post to claim I was stating that outboard or sterndrive boaters are
somehow "inferior". What's to address, besides your long list of
ridiculous personal responses to a lie that you had to go out of your
way to create?

Why does it bother you when Skipper does it, but causes no reaction
when Harry does the same thing?
