Re: Forum Member's Boat and Daughter in Trouble off of Mexico

His post seemed a little stalker-ish. I thought you were more than polite.

Re: Forum Member's Boat and Daughter in Trouble off of Mexico

True. Once you've seen death before you, beckoning (for any reason), you have an entirely different perspective. Small minded people who only want to pick fights are revealed as sad and pathetic,...

Re: Forum Member's Boat and Daughter in Trouble off of Mexico

Not blasphemy, just an understanding that Eric and Charlotte are members of this forum, would likely read the thread at some point, and kicking a guy when he's down is a really shitty thing to do.

Re: Forum Member's Boat and Daughter in Trouble off of Mexico

It's also the case that all the practice in the world can't prepare you for the unexpected things that happen in real life. One thing that came out of the 9/11 disaster is that hospital-hospital...

Re: Forum Member's Boat and Daughter in Trouble off of Mexico

I never said there weren't others, for Pete's sake. Way to take a positive bit of affirmation for Eric, on Eric's thread, and make it into me saying something negative.

That's it. You're off the...

Eric is one of the few people on CF that I have respect for.

Re: Forum Member's Boat and Daughter in Trouble off of Mexico

RH pointed out (correctly) the the guy was just trolling for blog readers. Certainly not "having a go" at anyone.

A poster truly interested in safety would have posted the relevant bits to the...

Re: Forum Member's Boat and Daughter in Trouble off of Mexico

In the past, people communicated face-to-face with their neighbors. Today it's through the internet. Rebel Heart interacted with people, Charlotte through one group, Eric through another. It had...

Re: Forum Member's Boat and Daughter in Trouble off of Mexico

I and a couple other people have spent way too much time over the last few days responding to the ugly people that have posted on their facebook page.

I'm pleased to say that 90% of the mean...

Re: Forum Member's Boat and Daughter in Trouble off of Mexico

Eric is one of the few posters on here that I actually respect. I'm sure if they decided to discuss their story that the narrative would be both interesting and factual. They're good people.

Re: Forum Member's boat and daughter in trouble off of Mexico

..uh...because understanding that people can say mean things out of ignorance and fear helps you keep perspective on things?

Sorry, I'm just a fan of understanding and learning. Feel free to do...

Re: Forum Member's boat and daughter in trouble off of Mexico

Once you start reading them you realize that the majority are from people who simply have never experienced life and are striking out in fear. It's sad (from a distance and when the aren't directed...

Re: Forum Member's boat and daughter in trouble off of Mexico

It says quite a bit about the type of person who posts negative things to this type of situation.

Re: Forum Member's boat and daughter in trouble off of Mexico

Because his daughter is sick, his wife is (possibly) hysterical and the family doesn't need the stress of being separated with one parent dealing with two children and the other at sea with a less...

Re: Forum Member's boat and daughter in trouble off of Mexico

There is a facebook group set up to support the family, for those of you that do fb. It is closed so you'd have to request access to participate.

Re: Forum Member's boat and daughter in trouble off of Mexico

NPR is a much better source if you're looking for actual news. It was also on the local Seattle news and they did a reasonable job as well.
