Spell it out for me what is your question
No lecture here you need an audience for a lecture
It is a tough industry and I don’t intend on perishing any time soon.
Yes I do
You just don’t get it it’s not the number of posts a member makes its the number of people on line at a given time advertisers look at traffic.

I am willing to bet there are a fair number of people reading this thread right now just to watch you make a fool of yourself. Talk about a traffic generator!
ok, so be it…you’ve picked death over the horrible dishonor of an apology.

why do you give a shit? John, Mike and Rob are the one’s to care about this and they haven’t complained about the discourse used. Your opinion on this matter is worthless to this discussion and a weak attempt at being evasive.
You may answer my question now…it’s a simple one. Were you writing “on watch”? Well were you…punk!
Silence would be an.acceptable alternative.
One interesting thing about people in upper management: Even when they are wrong they think they are right. I am pretty sure the presidents of AIG, GM, and Chrysler all are really confused about the incongruence of them accepting billions for crappy management.

agreed…not what I’d like, but I could go along with that option for our most highly esteemed cadet. Provided that he chooses it that is.
Could you clarify your last paragraph for me I’m not sure I get it.
Thank You
I am never going to apologize to a Internet bully for anything.
I don’t particularly give a shit either way. I don’t know these people and if they fail it’s no skin off my nuts I just attempted to bring a point to light for them. This place has potential.
On watch I don’t recall that being asked but if you must I have been looking at my Rolex for about twelve hours.
You win c.captain I believe we took the same test for our license. I also went to secondary school just like you only I have dyslexia do you I bet not. I have thick skin an don’t take shit from anyone especially a bully on the Internet. I pity the person that hides behind a key board.

I know I am! I’m just not sure what he is trying to say. He keeps talking about the site not being able to grow, yet every day new people join. There are tons of job postings and a good number of ads displayed on here, so I don’t see where he’s coming from.
Even though he sounds like a broken record that skips around, its still amusing!
Why yes I have thank you very much. 7 years in the cross gulf petroleum trade was during my formative years. Your post reveals more than you know. And the last little tidbit says a lot.
I haven’t criticized anyone and wasn’t aware this was a game so no need for an A game.
And that is a metaphor. This is real life! This is no game, but some don’t even realize it. You roundly criticised each and every one of the contributors but deny it now.
GCaptain isn’t going to sell much worthwhile advertisement space with a few members and little growth potential.
HUH? look down at the bottom of the opening forum page. There are literally hundreds of seamen from all over the world who read this each day. Sometimes it reaches into a thousand. The majority of us make purchase, buy, or fail throw away decisions each trip. Who do you think is a bigger audience?
Oh, I get it now. It was YOUR ad that was taken to task. Why didn’t you say so! Typical. Bluster, spit and fume. Then don’t bother tell the whole story. Now I’m going to have to look up that ad.
I’m not amused.

Spitting nasty invective even in the face of stunning defeat…simply unbelievable what a near microscopic coward you proved yourself to be but if you are really gone, then I say good riddance to foul smelling rubbish! You got away clean the first time when Mike deleted your first pathetic attempt to do battle here. Could’ve just been smart and learned a valuable lesson for cheap but you had to return and try again. I hope now, you have learned something yet at such a terrific cost to you…but hey, you were given plenty of opportunities to pull back on the stick before crashing in a spectacular fireball! Just another kamikaze who completely missed his carrier and died for nothing. I’d say it was a shame, but I think in your case is was necessary. You had to kill yourself in order to shut up.
Well anyway, bye bye spaceman. Have a pleasant voyage back to your planet but don’t come back now anytime soon. In fact I recommend that if you do dare to ever return, do it with a new username because SafetyFirst is now right up there with TMAcadet1 & NYbear in the gCaptain pantheon of self imploding failures.
Now look at this…some joker left a turd in the bowl! Hey…will somebody please flush that thing?..

[QUOTE=Mikey;77195]How am I supposed to keep up with this stuff? I mean honestly. I could spend all day sifting through posts. This forum has always been relatively self-policed. If something is that out of line or spam hit the report button. c.captain does it. One thing I would really love is people to stay on topic. Getting off topic is a pet peeve of mine and everyone should be mindful that getting off topic is not constructive at all.
Btw I deleted that last moderation just to flex some muscle. My reasoning… “I’ll show you moderation”.

Oh my goodness - That’s funny
To think, I just found this thread !!
[QUOTE=c.captain;77198]I get to protest here Mike…there was no topic this morning to stay on. I mean tell me if there was but I saw no topic in the original post other than to criticize the forum as a whole not being to the civil enough to the liking of a certain individual who was making his very first sqweak here. Even I was not the first to call the individual out so I am not alone in the belief that he was not in keeping with the spirit of the forum. In many respects, he was tossing a bomb into the fray and could be said to have been the one without civility. If you force us to be endlessly polite and never ruffle a person’s delicate sensitivities then this forum will decline rapidly. I do not believe I am wrong in saying that I am not the only one who will feel the discourse here will be badly hurt as a result. We are seamen afterall…[/QUOTE]

Oh my, I may be off topic here.

You missed yesterday’s tread…if you had been there then you’d know. Pity because it was a beaut but Mike Schuler deleted it because Spaceman Spiff (aka SafetyFirst) whined to have the pummeling cease. He was lucky that Mike did but I was very disappointed until our fine fellow decided he was 8 feet tall and invincible and foolishly returned for another round here. I couldn’t have been happier!
Captains!! Captains !! Please don’t get your flip flops in a bunch after all we need you to drive this bus. Stay on point sit in that easy chair and go to work.
Do we all get our trophy now for participating?

He’s a newbee, doesn’t tell us anything about himself, perhaps he might but I have doubts. Actually, it really isn’t important to let us know who you were, are now, and your future plans. I do, that’s my choice, several of my classmates got in a big snit over my posts (our posts are indeed read by many). Interesting, those who took umbrage basically did nothing following graduation except head straight into the private sector (one could do that back in my day). Those, like me, who sailed couldn’t care less and most agree with our posts. I know my classmates who sailed and all of them know how to laugh at themselves, an admirable trait.

Yes - but you need to go into the shaft alley to get it.
