I have time now, and this issue is important. I have a few questions for you. Do you even own a power boat? Have you ever gone fast in a power boat?

I have owned power boats most of my adult life. Not fast ones, just family boats. My dad owned boats that would do 60+ MPH for 40 years. His last boat was an Eliminator Daytona 27. It would do 85-90 depending on the wind and the chop. (Interesting fact: you go faster into a slight chop and wind than with the chop and wind.)

Anyway, I had the privilege of driving and being with him going fast. Real fast. Went with him with my wife and my kids when they were young. Never once felt unsafe. My dad (and me when I drove) we’re safe, alert and responsible.

After the implementation of the speed limit, he sold his boat.

I am passionate about the issue since most on the wrong side of the issue have never owned a power boat. They really don’t know what they are talking about.

One so-called expert doesn’t define the issue.

Anyway, one thing I know is true - my side lost the battle and the war. Given NH’s demographics, it is unlikely that we’ll have another shot at it.

And since you did not quote the entirety of my last post I will repeat it.

"And I have taken a screen shot of your venomous assault should this all be scrubbed. And a word of advice. Before it gets scrubbed you might want to issue an apology/mia culpa. And take a screen shot of it. It might be helpful for you down the line."

And the answer to your 2 questions is yes and yes.
Oh yeah and your comment..."It was a joke". Like I alluded to, we now have a great deal of insight into your character.

I’m not too worried. Anyone with common sense knows it was a joke.

Anyway, stay cool.

"Libel is a legal term that refers to a false and malicious statement that is written or published and that harms the reputation of an individual or an organization. Libel is a form of defamation that is intended to cause harm to a person's reputation or character. To prove libel, the plaintiff must demonstrate that the statement was false, caused damage to their reputation, and was published or communicated to at least one other person. In many jurisdictions, a person who is found guilty of libel may be required to pay damages or face other legal penalties."

Doubt it much matters if you intended it as a joke your words are you words.

I think your ship is sunk!

Sunset, you are the one that can't seem to stay on topic and debate the subject. Either you know Major was using his post to simply make a point about people making assumptions, or if not please re-read it to understand. He was saying "assuming towels are flying around every boat is the same as assuming a person testifying is a flawed individual", to paraphrase and explain it.

Debating a speed limit vote simply does not have to get venomous and personal. You seem very angry, while Major seems to be calmly and consistently making his points based on how he feels about the subject.

Thank you, Like. A voice of reason and sanity. A lot has been said about my character. I can tell you one thing, I would never go on a forum and threaten litigation or to destroy someone's life over a silly argument and a stupid joke.

Thanks for explaining this to those on here that seemingly can’t comprehend what Major’s point was. Some people just love looking for a fight, and I love the Perry Mason wannabes. Hysterical!

As Major knows, he is safe. The requisite intent is lacking to prove libel. Sunset’s screenshot gambit was a first for the forum, I think. I suspect Major’s boots are almost done shaking by now. ��
