Oh, so it's only certain posters that are allowed to post nonsensical irrelevant comments.
Sorry, I didn't realise there was a monopoly on who can post off-topic banter. Or deny the obvious. Or perhaps yawn when they have nothing to add.
Perhaps if I try barking occasionally I can join this group of posters allowed to post nonsense.

So an overloaded inflatable with very low freeboard would be very much in danger of being flooded in one situation, but not the other.
Glad we got here in the end.

I believed I had the same freedom to make pointless, off-topic, trolling abusive comments as you,
Obviously I was mistaken. I have to watch my p's and q's while you are allowed to be abusive.

How did you conclude that?

Wind with tide - tide and wind in the same direction makes the sea flatter.

Wind over tide - opposite direction makes it choppier.

An overloaded small inflatable boat typically has a freeboard (the distance from the waterline to the top of the tubes) of less than 50 mm (about two inches) at its lowest point. [1]Regulations for commercial or safe operation generally require a minimum freeboard of \(250 \text{ \textendash } 300 \text{ mm}\). When this distance drops below 50 mm, the boat is dangerously overloaded and at severe risk of capsizing or swamping (filling with water).

A wind speed of just 3 knots (about 3.5 mph or 5.6 km/h) is needed to start generating ripples. However, to consistently generate waves above 50 mm (0.05 meters), a minimum steady wind speed of about 4 to 7 knots is required. [1, 2, 3]

The average wind speed in the English Channel typically ranges between 13 mph and 18 mph (11 to 16 knots). Winds generally blow from the southwest. Winter strengths average Force 4 to 6 on the Beaufort scale (13 to 31 mph), while summer months are calmer.

I don't reply to you as a matter of my choosing, you are crossing the line from pointless trolling comments into the territory of abusive personal insults that could and you hope will cause distress. Attack the post by all means but not the man in that manner.

King Billy said:

Clearly my reporting of your abusive behaviour results in my exclusion from threads.
And if I respond in kind to your abuse, I'm excluded from threads.

Should I respond to your abusive behaviour in kind? Or should I report your abusive behaviour?

Hmm, difficult decision.

Someone whose political and social views and belief in the sanctity of facts, are anathema to a vocal and vicious subgroup on this site who want him silenced because they cannot argue against him using intelligence, reason and facts?

It's not just that though is it?

King Billy said:

You don't like my opinions, and my sensible demolition of your lies, so you want me silenced.
I can understand that. Fair means or foul, it's of little consequence to you, and others.

That's at the root of it all.

What else could it be?
I'm not the only one that asks searching questions and with those questions exposes the lies espoused on here.
