It's an old north eastern tradition.
There has also been a very long tradition in rec.boats of taking
differences of opinion directly to ridiculous personal remarks.

I disagree with people rather frequently. I'm quite often but not
always right when I do. Nowhere except in "cyberspace" are people so
quick to back into the corner of "you're a thus and such" when an
opinion is questioned or challenged.

If my opinion is wrong, I would expect to be told why that opinion is
wrong rather than endure some tedious third-person version of "he's
wrong, and he's wrong because he's a butthole." Being a butthole,
(guilty sometimes) is a different issue that whether or not an opinion
has merit.

And that's you in a nut shell.

Duly noted.

Chuck is never wrong.

Do me a favor Chuck. Next time you place a thread about a map or
obscure Chinese navigator and somebody, like me, enters into a
discussion with some evidence that, well like pirate flags, directly
and authoritatvely kind of makes you incorrect (because you are never
wrong), just ignore it.

Like you usually do.


Chuck is so...tedious.

Yesterday, I mentioned to him I could not find his "magazine's" web
page. In response, I got, what, a 75-word rationalization that look like
it had been worked over by Karl Rove's third assistant. That, instead of
Chuck just stating, "We don't have one." The publication, by the way, is
one of a number put out by a Canadian publisher of "shoppers."
