Chloe 7 Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 to all the people on this site that keep referring to "insurance", if any off you had bothered to read the herald item, regards this vessel.

Correct and then the forum becomes a "PC" boring series of "monologue based" rhetoric. Very similar to interviews with our sporting people.... a "mind numbing" babble of nothingness. I think people should say what they like and be the spice of life .... rather that a bunch of _agreeing" poofters all patting themselves on the back and agreeing about .... NOTHING! AJ Oliver.... if you want a boring forum then you want a forum that offers nothing! STUYA! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have just read it twice and nothing like that was said: http://www.nzherald....jectid=11398299 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hey AJ! Smithy IS my real name. Marshall Law is my yacht and I live in Mairangi bay (sometimes).. I did think twice and like I said in the post, I must be getting cynical. Overly cynical as it turns out, and I am chuffed that it was not the case and really feel for them at having their pride and joy stuck over in Aus. However, it would be nice if Mr. Ketchup and co outed themselves!! :twisted: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Ketchup Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Well smithy that says it all really. Why should anyone who does not use their name "out themselves" This is a forum based in comment/content. It is not about "playing the man" but debating the topic. I think you are cynical, like a lot of people. That last paragraph is very cynical. However I don't think, being suspicious about "an insurance scam" is as cynical as others thunk. Especially in this current world. As for the evil face icons.... embrace the debate and peoples differences smithy. Relate not hate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AJ Oliver 154 Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Mr. Ketchup - No offense intended, but you are my best argument. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
smithy09 50 Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Not sure what you mean Ketchup by saying "That says it all really". I'm not sure what it says? I have no need to hide behind a multitude of funny names like you, but maybe I just don't care so much if people know who I am... In these online days, maybe that is a little naïve. Not sure. No hating involved mate. Happy to debate. The devil faces were just to wind you up and you responded like one of Pavlov's canines, so all good! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You would have read that the owners stated that the boat was UNINSURED. This says distinctly otherwise: http://www.nzherald.co.nz/northern-advocate/news/article.cfm?c_id=1503450&objectid=11403767 "Mr Holland said it was now up to the couple's insurance company to decide what happened to the yacht. 'They may bring it back or say the cost of repairs and bringing it back are more than it's covered for so we really don't know what's going to happen to her yet,' he said."

smithy09 50 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 So I get a warning for abusive behaviour?? Where was that? When I said I was expecting a warning soon, I thought I would have to do something to deserve it!! There's a whole thread taking the piss out of Tomato Sauce, so my comments look pretty tame in comparison.. Might be 100% Sailing Anarchy soon... Another reader not a poster!! Putting people on ignore makes threads unreadable as they make no sense. Tried it before. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
