Re: Forced at gunpoint to jump off a sailboat in the Exumas

Extremely well said, Jammer. By what you wrote, I can tell that you to have found these people in your life in various places at various time. Around 10% of the population has a personality disorder. I've been traumatized by some with Cluster B disorders and have learned. If you don't have to protect a minor or elderly loved one who is also a victim, RUN. Run fast. Run at nearly any cost. If you do have to stay around to protect a child or senior, find a trauma therapist to help you cope.

Just an interesting tidbit about him. Since there are a lot of other tidbits here.

so, many of us have funded this guy's trip.
I don't think he has anything to do with Micro-Air.

Why he didn't turn GPS tracker off if he did something wrong? It seems like your story is fake... you don't even have a FB page, so you have everything to hide

There is a big difference between a unknown camera filming a scene, such as a security camera, and someone pointing a phone at you and obviously recording you, often within one's personal space.

As someone who has had this experience numerous times, the person with the camera is obviously trying to intimidate. Does not work on me but other people will certainly take the bait and continue with the escalation.

Sounds like we might be getting a visit from the other 1/3rd of the story, but he hasn’t quite figured out his defense strategy yet.

Because the thing is that there are people who are unreasonable, who see conflict as the normal relationship between two adults, who see life as a zero sum game. Many, perhaps most, of them are dealing with personal ogres of one kind or another, mental illness, PTSD, addiction, family of origin problems, etc. Some of them are grown-up playground bullies who need victims around them to define themselves. Some of them are rich and entitled. They all lack empathy, a sense of limits, and a concept of fairness.


The best thing to do when encountering them, is leave.

You have to quit a job, move out, take the wrong exit on the freeway, leave your cart of groceries in the checkout line, walk away from an inheritance, leave the restaurant before the entree comes, disown your child, break up the band, move to another neighborhood, or cancel travel plans.


Wise and powerful people see it coming a long way away and have the resources to be able to afford the cost.

As for everyone else, well, that doesn't make it their fault.
I think I might have miss represented the point I was trying to make Jammer,
Or you may have missed it, let me try to convey it more clearly.

“It take 2 to tango” If you are in conflict with another, you are part of the conflict, without you or the other there would be no conflict, so no one is 100% right or wrong in any conflict.

Once I was struck with a crowbar across my farhead, 40 stitches and a concussion, I was dancing with someone’s date. I had no idea she was on a date, if you listen to the crowbar swingers story I am sure he puts me 100% at fault.

“The best thing to do when encountering them is leave.”agreed, this was my point.

De-escalate, defuse, put distance between (even a couple of feet), but the key is to not let it get anywhere near there. “Keep your friends close and your enemies closer” I had to do this for 3 years I was working with a highly toxic individual. A 58 I have been tested my whole life with adversarial individuals.

Not sure if the rest of your post was directed at me mate (intentionally or unintentionally) if so there are some inaccurate assumptions, I would be happy go into depth about that if you PM me.

I am an imperfect being, I own that, I also embrace my imperfections it make me stronger spiritually.

Sorry to be so long winded
I hope this clears up my intentions for all in my previous post.
Cheers

Re: Forced at gunpoint to jump off a sailboat in the Exumas

maybe its the texan in me..
but i find this thread and the overall tone rather....peculiar.


the bahamian authorities appeared to have investigated...
..the accuser admits to the "scuffle" on the boat.

...the accuser appears to have been removed from country/deported.
..the accused appears to be happily cruising the exumas.


yet the reaction of this thread is to doxx the accused while rationalizing what appears to be breaking and entering of a bahamian home (by the accuser)


and i'm curious..
how should one remove someone that refuses to leave your boat?


..what if there was a motorboat sitting there on anchor yet no one on island? would it have been ok to take it ...


pretty sure EVERY criminal that ever lived could "justify" their behaviors in some way, right?

..


and i'm also grateful that no one did get seriously hurt.


i was always taught that a gun should only get pointed at what is intended to be destroyed (meaning trigger gets pulled. always)
..but that didn't happen.





the OP is still here to give his side

(that's the big positive)

I don't have a dog in this hunt one way or the other, but I will say that linking to someone's public social media accounts, on which the person publishes things intending to make them publicly available, possibly as a means to help readers get a little more background on a story, does not in any way constitute doxxing. It's completely unlike publishing someone's residential address, where their kids go to school, etc.
