Pi**ing contests ...

[puddock]

Why do all the 'promising' threads always seem to disintegrate into a pissing contest between a pair of pillocks trying to prove to anyone reading, how vastly superior their 'knowledge' of boating is to anyone elses' ...

Some Posters:
1. Know a lot and, know where to look for that which they need to answer your questions.
2. Know a lot but do not have the time to improve their knowledge.
3. Know little as yet, but if can be persuaded to listen to those more knowledgeable on this
Forum may yet replace those of us who may "pop our clogs" before passing on whatever knowledge we possess for the benefit of our fellow boaters,
freely given in the great spirit of camaraderie which characterizes those who venture perhaps out of sight of land on our own hulls.
4. The rest simply like to write stuff which may not help, in an effort to justify their miserable existence.

You know nothing! My boat's bigger than yours, AND I've been certified . . .





Anyway, why isn't this in the LOUNGE?

 

[oGaryo]

totally agree, I blame this guy.. if it were not for him, said pair of pollocks would be happily swimming about in the ogin rather than troubling the rest of us sensible forum members!

Because it refers to certain posters on here - not the Lounge...

Does that make it boaty then?

Are you going to name them & start a real fight? Or will this just be a pointless whinge?

Yeah I know what you mean - I have just been party to a similar discussion on the Mobo forum.

Basically, people who think they know it all are very annoying to those that do.

 

[Lakesailor]

Is this pissing contest anything to do with Puddocks ex-squeeze?

Pictures would be good.

 

[FullCircle]

Pointless.

Without



at least some

pointers

 

[Lakesailor]

Could it be the Making In Mast Reefing Simpler thread?

 

[grazbo]

I think it's mainly because mist posters gave stopped learning and don't socialise well.

It is always the same names.

Feels like being at school sometimes.

Fragile egos, the anonymity of the Web, etc...

 

[oceanpilgrim]

sorry to de-rail this thred...but what is the best anchor

 

[Zagato]

Can't be that much of an issue if nobody else can work out who it is...

 

[OGITD]

I don't need beer.

Just a few cups of Tea on a cold day or a large mug before I turn-in.

Because there are drongos around. All fora have them.
