The thread would most likely get locked/deleted when anyone uses sensitive words that the algos, or moderators, flag up. A site can get into trouble that way. I presume using these words is an easy way to lock the thread one does not like.
Regarding the french boat he had the right of way because the other boat appeared was on his left (I saw just a glimpse when he is turning, I am not sure what preceded). He did not have the right of way simply because it is a fishing boat as he did not have lines/nets deployed. However, unless you are blind, deaf, drunk or on a mission, you stop when you see another boat approaching, regardless whose right of way it is. Pulling back on the throttle stops the boat pretty damn fast.
Also, the french are not a race. In my opinion the word is used to simply flag the post and to inflate.
