Hi Bruce,
I really find that thread objectionable, it just a reminder to us that things happen.

Boy, I meant to say I didn't find the thread objectionable.

I don't have a dog in this fight, but every now and then something dramatic happens in our lives... something that might make you step back and say, "I need to be thankful for every moment I get to spend on the water and all the good friends who make those moments special." Pretty sure that's what Denny-o was trying to tell all his boat buddies - at least that's the way I took it. A reminder once in a while isn't a bad thing.
Respectfully,
Jim B.

Even the Cbrats have a "that's life thread". What was wrong with that post/thread? :cry:

I certainly agree with Jim. B. I'm dismayed the Moderator took the heavy action to delete, but then the Forum rules do say it's their right to delete anything. In this case it was presumably because there was no 'boating' theme to be found in it.

This will be my 500th and last post on TugNuts. Heavy Handed is too mild a word for it.
Bye tuggers.

I deleted the thread because it became contentious. I don't know if any of you saw the reply which triggered my action. I will respond to that member directly. There is certainly room in this commons to express grief. I felt, however, there was no room for one member to find fault, or place blame, on the grieving community member. That was the case.
Sorry to have offended any of you. I'll be even more sorry if any of you choose to discontinue your participation because of my judgement call.

Just got back home after a near 100 mile trip today... Spent the morning helping a friend put a breast hook and snub chain on his boat trailer...
Now I see that I have apparently - again - put my foot on my mouth...
No one owes me an apology...
I tend to live in a stream of consciousness state most of the time and sometimes I do not recognize how other people interpret what I write or say... My bad...
And I would ask Barry to please remain a member - if any one should leave it is I as I seem to grate on Bruce, and Andrew, (sigh)
I will try harder to review my posts before sending to see if others may misinterpret my tone or my choice of topic...
Yes, I related that crash as a simple example - that no matter how hard you try to be a perfect driver, a multi thousand pound vehicle that was perhaps just waiting for you to pass through the intersection, suddenly gets rear ended and jumps forward before you can even twitch... You need a snub chain on the boat to keep it off your head...
Lastly, let me comment that as an old EMR doc I have seen trauma before... I tend forget that others do not have the same experiences as I... That does not mean I do not have feelings, just that I see trauma objectively...
I see that I have two PM's in the box... I can perhaps anticipate the gist of what they say... I am going to delete them without reading... Perhaps the authors might have had some second thoughts after the heat of the moment... If they wish to send me other PM's I will read them...

Wow..... All of this simply reminds all of us that we are placed on the planet for a very short period of time. We need to take advantage of every minute we are here for you do not know when your number is going to be drawn and you are no more.
I am not sure as to how the young lady in the car faired but, I would think not well due to the tone of the "un-posting". We must remember though that, not only was her life changed, even the young man driving the car that hit her, his life will never be the same. Along with these two people, all of the eyewitness lives will be forever changed. I still carry a memory of a time when I was five years old and witnessed my father cradling a baby in his arms as it took its last breath. The baby was launched from her mothers arms when the car she was riding in was struck from behind. These things we never forget.
As Bruce said in the first comment on this thread, it is now time to get back to boating and enjoying every minute we have. Treat them as they are your last, they may be.
