OSMS I have scanned over many of your responses. When presented to think or consider rational thinking/ facts, your response is typically very defensive, harsh, and quite sensitive actually. You make it known to others on the format by way of correction, your disdain for "assumptions." Yet, you admitted that you could not resist making one yourself.
What is that? Passive aggressive? Frustrated? More like others than you would like to think? Out of things to say? I think you made your point a long time ago, I am just entertained by your replies at this point.
That "you were in grammar school" load, made me laugh. Why?
Those grade schoolers end up growing up, while we grow older and they end up running the country. Are you older than the current president? I Bet you are. By the way, pardon the assumption.

My posts on this forum usually are constructed to provoke a response from the recipient. You learn a lot about a person and their true beliefs that way. I don't let personal attacks bother me--it says more about the responder than me. It's interesting to see the possible effects of alcohol on the responses of some people, isn't it?
I have seen the effects of speed on this lake and it bothers me. Years ago I was a near witness in a drowning caused by youth, beer, and stupidity. A drunk 16 year old boy jumped from a boat towing a 15 year old girl on an inter-tube; knocked her off the inter-tube and out of her ski belt. She went down in 90 feet of water, surfaced 12 days later. Everyone came to our dock. Two years later, the driver of that boat was killed at night by a speeding boat, while sitting still in the water in the same boat--with no lights on.
Last summer a close adult relative riding a SeaDoo (too fast) stuck the nose of the boat in a large wake in main channel near Blue Creek. Broke his arm, required surgery, and ruined his summer. He was riding alone, no one tried to help (or saw him). Ever try to climb on a SeaDoo with a broken arm.
I've got seven grandchildren that I hope will grow up enjoying this lake as much as all of us have enjoyed it, but we have to re-gain control of what happens on the lake. We all have to act responsibly. If I can convince just one person on this forum, that is anti-law, to accept the fact that the law is required to improve the lake--then the effort is well worth it.
Don't know why the interest in my age by everyone, but I'm not as old as the president, or Hillery, or Bill.

.... a couple of years ago when Skinners cigarette boat ended up in a tree on one of the many Islands of the lake. Of course excuses were for his behavior, it was everybody, everythings fault but HIS. Ya gotta be crusing pretty good to have your boat standing on end, leaning against the trees.

It wasn't HIS fault because it was foggy, it wasn't HIS fault that alcohol numbs the senses, it wasn't HIS fault that God put an island there, etc.
They never explained how it wasn't HIS fault that he had been drinking, it wasn't HIS fault that he was going so fast ona fogy night, or it wasn't HIS fault that he hit an islnad that had been in the same exact place since the Tallapoosa began backing up.
And they never answered THIS question: if these people can't avoid islands that never move, how can we expect them to avoid other boats?

Man, type with your brain. Or, is that what you are doing now. you type replies, and messages with very strong words. .. Chill out. I think you are mean, and very disrepectful. To say the least.

Do some research. All I typed was some of the stuff that was posted --by OTHER people, not me-- back when the incident in question occured.
It was a foggy night, the guy had been drinking at a bar, and he hit an island with enough speed to snap trees, before coming to rest some 30 feet from the water. I Thank God that he hit an island instead of a pontoon boat loaded with parents and kids on their way back from Sinclair's, and that makes me mean?
I know, he was in a big, fast, loud boat, so in your eyes he is a God, incapable of doing wrong. But as you should be learning now, not everyone sees things the way you do.
Oh, one more thing, before you decide to insult me again-- I saw the post on YOUR site that listed me by name. What did it say again, that I need to be "shut up permanently" and be "sunk to the bottom of the lake, along with my boat." Was that it? And yet you have the nerve to call ME mean and disrespectful? How demented are you?

I guess someone that don't like or agree with your attitude made a post on my site! You can go and make a post there if you want to, I dont care. It's a free site. Others can read what you think about them also. Thanks for visiting my website, and if I can ever help you with any boat project, please feel free to call. I am sure you would enjoy meeting some of my customers and friends.

JIM, remember.... This is America, if he is willing to pay the price, I am willing to charge enough to make it worth my time. Get the picture? However, I got two pontoon boats running and underway at the Kowaliga Bridge ramp Saturay, "while my family waited for me in the boat", so that they could enjoy the day, just the same as a was...... The charge for getting them going, absolutely nothing! The feeling I helped someone in need... Priceless. Me helping someone probably in support of the boat ban deal????.... Sometimes you just have to do what feels right. They seemed like awful nice boaters, and were very thankful.
