Death threats

What do you think of posts by Caldera Boats where he claims he would enjoy killing yacht owners?

Hey, Caldera Boats, do you have any preference? I mean, regarding the killing?

From what I can make out we'd have no problems as long as we stay at sea! The numpty can't read plans and thus cannot build a vessel sufficient to get out to us!

I thought this was a fforum to discuss boat building and design. I have known a builder who had some trouble working cuz he fought so much as a kd, young man but other than that all the rest of the builders/ Designers are all really super guys. So why you would threaten a fellow boat nut confuses me. And what about that guy who is looking for information aggrssivly and demanding answers what's up with that?

I think all the local yacht owners in his area should be given notice of his interests, if not his intent. The idea of an angry mob outside his 42 year old doublewide makes me smile.

I don't know about kidding. There are the types like Charles Manson that do not kid. Also, he is posting all this in anonimity. Even though he claims to be a boat builder and run a business, there is no link to a website or an address. That is rather strange for a businessman.

Gonzo, you need to lighten up a little man.

In the tradition of the high seas there has always been outlaws and pirates. Some of the best sailors in history were the Vikings. To me, like a lot of others it has always been alluring. That doesn't mean I would actually do it...but is sure is fun to fantasize.
The truth of the matter is that there is a dark side of boating. There are drug runners, smugglers, pirates and thieves who call the oceans home. The seas are a dangerous place, if you can't cope with that, stay in the harbor.

I'm sorry you feel threatened by my stories, but this is a public forum and some people enjoy such entertainment.

Believe it or not, my 'bad' attitude gets me more work than I can handle. I am one of the next generation of boat builders/designers. The tattooed, pierced, adrenaline junkie, f--K the world generation X-ers who have been pushing anything and everything to the limit.
The "X" in Caldera BoatworX stands for eXtreme.
It is just a natural progression from snowboards, skateboards, muscle cars, hotrods, motorcycles and street choppers into the boat realm. I would be much rather be know as the 'Jessie James' of boats rather than a 'Herreshoff' or a 'Chapelle'.

If your not pushing life to the edge, your not living.

I'll just say I'll call you waco. Jessie James had a bit more class. Gonzo people who talk usually have no action. just want to stand out. now that he has stood out good luck waco.
