TOS, as mentioned by a (pretty) famous Naval Artichoke. .

It's one of these . I wish I could be more specific but it's in there.

Nice photo. By the way I have some pretty good recipes for those tasty vegetables... Charlie

I am still wondering what a naval artichoke is... Charlie

That would be architect but, as a rule, most of the one's I've worked with over years in the construction industry have the IQ of an artichoke.
Mr. Peters is the exception to the rule and a brilliant navel architect.

He posted his questions after the warning from the mod and on that subject I think we should respect that .

it takes 2 tah tanga.
Why are you suggesting he get boating encyclopedias?
You are not content. You choose your words and type.
What is wrong with his attitude? How does he bring negativity?

[bluewaterposer]

I don't get the big deal, BOB is a boating website about boats, amazing!

We all have other interests besides boating all though in my opinion they aren't as important .

I admit to bed pretty inocoulos, or just seeing the best in others, yet I can be cynical !

All on BOB, post more about boating and ignore off topic things as you see fit, my 2 cents!

His bless all

There is one common denominator.
And this is not a debate or a discussion. It's passive aggressive.
I see a pattern happening and dejavu from a couple of years ago if this persist.
Final and last discussion on the subject.

My dude, you have 5x the posts I do. Within those, you have incredibly few related to boats; you have even fewer that are technically helpful in nature. On the other hand, I have just a handful of non-boating related posts. Care to guess what my interest in this site entails? I find value in there being curated boat information. I like begin a contributing member of that community. Every other boating site is rampant with poor advice or misinformation about how to install items or perform maintenance tasks.

You have a history on TOS, here, and I suspect elsewhere (including detecting forums), of deliberately getting people riled up. You posting a completely unrelatable comment on a yachting design blog belonging to an industry veteran illustrates your intentions quite well. Your comment then was a poorly veiled attempt to agitate your rivals on TOS. It's similar to your soapbox posts you make here.

I try very hard to ignore presence here as I believe it dilutes the value of this forum. Today, I was not successful. If there was an "ignore member" feature, I would use it.

You wouldn't happen to metal detect would you ? I've seen similar comments on those forums .
I would suggest you get some boating encyclopedias . They do not have an off-topic section as there is here. You would then for sure be able to be successful in ignoring any content you don't like.
You can be a contributing member here ,as you said you like to do, by participating in off-topic with a different attitude. You can up that post count by doing so also, unlike at TOS where they don't count. The reason for that is they are seen as an important factor here but should not contain the negativity you bring. PEACE

^^^^^^^^A poster posting on an off-topic thread making an accusation and name-calling . Turning a good thread by his fellow boater negative . Highlighting his problems while seeming to be what he is accusing someone of.

That was my thought when I read the thing. The dude's whole motive is to needle boaters. What a troll.
