Cracks in anti-fouling- Altex (Black)

[pvb]

I have seen pictures of the hull that coopec built. It looked somewhere on a farm so could be some way from home.

Where I fitted my SA boat out was at least 30 minutes drive from home so that eats into working time and time available to do work. I personally could only work at week ends as I had a company to run during the week. Yes I could employ people to do some of the work but I could only visit during the office lunch break

When I rebuilt one of my boats when I was in the UK it was on my drive at home so I could d work on it after I can home fro work in th summer it light later into the evening so much quicker work.

You are making lots of assumptions and conjecture. You ahe made comments about Ex colonies and people from the Southern Hemisphere which could be construed as xenophobic.

Your comments also seem to be aimed at people who do thinks and coopec and myself have created our boats and you seem to have paid someone for your various boats. Yes that is a assumption but based on what we have seen.

If you have a comment to make if you make it in a sarcastic, derogative or condescending way people will react in kind.

The comments you make in the way I indicated above does you know favours and my view is that you must be right all the time and have an adverse reaction to anyone who has a different view.

I do expect you will react in your usual way which I have no interest in and your reactions could put other newcomers off posting and existing posters just like me ignore what you have to say.

Your contributions can be valid but you approach degrades the value of you contributions.

More pointless backbiting...

That tells me everything about your character.

Just cannot decide it its a superiority and inferiority complex.

If the moderator wish to put me an shore leave I will just go on distantshaws leave

It actually tells you nothing. If you want to continue your endless criticism and backbiting, feel free, it won't upset me.

However, you might reflect on the reasons why, if I'm as rude and unhelpful as you allege, I've received so many more positive reaction votes than you and your friend have. Reaction score is a good indicator of those who are contributing positively to the forums.

Might somebody else be allowed to comment on your pathetic playground squabbles?
In percentage terms, by my calculations pvb is struggling with a lowly 3.06% when reaction score is divided by post count.
In second place is coopec on 3.6%
Leading the way is Rogershaw on 4.22%?
Incidentally, should you wish to wave your willies away from the public gaze there's a suitable thread in the Lounge I started a few years back - The squabbling thread.

Your calculations are meaningless, because the reaction score only started when the new forum software was adopted, less than a year ago.

You are correct in the characterisation of pvb comments as pathetic playground squabbles.

As far as the reaction score is concerned dies it really matter to me I just wish to share my experience in boat fitting out as shown in my published pictures.

To me it the post count that tells me pvb seems to spend a significant amount of time posting where as I prefer to spend my time on my boat either ocean sailing or just messing about on my boat.

I am not into willy waving but pvb seems to be as he comments in a disparaging way on others creative activities which of course puts the recipients backs up without understanding the circumstances, yet I am the one who is characterized as "backbiting". Makes me laff

 

[pvb]

There's a reason...

 

[rogerthebodger]

Ok redo the calculations based on the time you and I have been registered on the forum and recalculate the percentages based on the average posting over the time the new forum has been in operation.

Might be an interesting give some statistics.

You and I have been registered a similar time yet you have over 4 times the number of post in the same sort of time.

As a rough calculation pvb has a rating of 0.615 based on just over 2000 posts per year
mine rating is 0.844 based on just over 450 posts per year

I've decided to do that and go on "distant shore leave".

I've been on the CruiserForums (Constructon/Fitting out) for the last 12 years and I've never had any problems at all except that when I start off a thread I'm overloaded with advice from people who are expert in building/fitting out boats/yachts. (No armchair experts! )

Thanks to all the guys who have freely offered their advice in the past: much appreciated Cheers

I can understand you reaction with armchair experts (an ex is a has been and a spert is a drip under pressure).

The forum reaction score analysis the saltire did shoot pvb down and my recalculation again shoot pvb down and it seems now the cat has his tongue.

When pvb made a comment that I was getting his message I did he wants us to go somewhere else so he has free reign to post what he's view without challenge.

I do go into Cruiser forum sometimes but don't post alot their. My main interest was the OpenCPN forum.

Do note how Distantshaws is spelt. Distant shores is the name of Paul and Sheryl Shard's TV program and boat.

If you do leave pvb has won so I would not on principle, but it's up to you. e is only one most are very constructive and helpful

I have just been reading the gauge thread where pvb suggested only having alarms. Several posters have disagreed as do I monitoring the trend allows you to see a problem developing and an take preventive action before it becomes critical. Yes alarms can be useful for when sudden faults occur but should include a auto shutdown.

On a boat an auto shutdown can put you in one danger where all you may need do is the reduce revs or in a sailing boat re raise the sails.

I have just been reading the gauge thread where pvb suggested only having alarms.

That's untrue, as you well know. I said that "Alarms are much more useful than gauges." I certainly didn't suggest only having alarms. You obviously only see what you want to see...

Go and read my post and the gauge thread and comment their. Then I can refer to what you said and also reference to what others have said.

Mine and others view is the reverse.

I don't need to, I was responding only to the fact that you misquoted me here.

 

[rogerthebodger]

I don't need to, I was responding only to the fact that you misquoted me here.

So you need to make it clear as the " Alarms are much more useful than gauges " can be interpreted that gauges are not required/essencial.

Are you gauges needed or not. Gauges are of no use to people who don't understand how to use then but essential to people who do.

As I said before, you only see what you want to see. Hell, you could start an argument in an empty room!

 

[PaulRainbow]

It's bad enough that almost every thread on here seems to turn into a pointless argument, but now we have to drag the arguments from one thread to another ?

I agree you Paul we need to accept that we all can have a different view and leave it at that.

If pvb or any one wishes to rely on alarms only of have the view that alarms are more important how energy you wish to put it so be it other may have a different view so be it.

It seems that some people thinks their view is better that others and will comment on others peoples view which is pointless and becomes destructive. Then blames the other party for starting and argument.

There is a post I read but not commented on where a poster complained his answer seemed to not be accepted by the OP. I don't know why the OP posted the question, I can only speculate.

Paul We have had our disagreements in the past but from my point of view it is in the past.

The comment I use is "we agree to differ" and leave it at that.

Isn't that exactly what you are doing? Forums are a medium for the exchange of differing views, surely?

No quite the reverse I may posting and alternative that is different to yours. This happens over and over again.

It you who takes exception to and alternate different view. I know you will not accept that which is a pity

I keep saying it's up to the OP to decide which opinion to take NOT YOU OR MYSELF
