I'm probably guilty of fanning this fire. To be honest didn't for a moment thing that our favourite pet owner would actually be looking in on SailNet but there you go. You'd have to admit though, when people put there lives up on a public forum, open to any and everybody, how on earth do they get off complaining when other people then have a look ? Stalking ? Only if messages and comments that are way out of order are being posted to the site.

Nonetheless, my comments were insensitive. I apologise for making them. Quite frankly one of the other mods should have expressed disapproval. They didn't , but I am guilty of personal abuse particularly as this is not an OT thread.

Language in the videos and all that carry on is nothing you wouldn't hear on any fishing boat so lets face it that's really no big deal. Sounds somewhat sterotypical good ol' boy but such it is. I'm not at all sure I approve of the manner they went about the fishing but compared to shooting harpoons at whales I'd think it pretty minor.

Have to admit though....those dogs sure don't look as if they are suffering. I still don't like dogs on board but to each his own.

Hopefully this die down again , and soon. Otherwise CD will have to take me outside and give me a good talking to. If it doesn't , or if it gets out of hand then either the thread will be locked or moved to OT.
