Try reading sailing forums. This family is not unknown.
Travis McGee is attacking them — calling them “Balloon Boy media-whore fame-grubbers” — without having all the information.
He's a sailor that built his own boat. He KNOWS how risky this was. He is judging actions based on facts. Do you sail?
He is quick to damn, quick to judge,
And yet you conveniently ignore your own emotional personal attack.
Why do I even bother talking with you? You just refuse to understand what point I’m making.
I point out that Travis is going over the top when he damns the character of this young woman’s parents, and then you counter by talking about the sailboat itself. It’s fine to discuss the facts about the route and such, but he doesn’t know their MOTIVES.
