also, the review of the book in Rudder magazine said that the author was a RADM in the USCG

Really? Beause a couple of months ago, you said that he wasn't associated with the USCG, and was elected "Commodore" of the Texas Coastal Patrol. You also claimed that the only reason you ever said he was a RADM was that you got it from one of Heyworth's old posts. Shall I post the old posts to refresh your memory? They can be found on this thread.

I had wondered why a Commodore in the USCG had gotten something as blatantly wrong as claiming that a captured U-boat was sitting in a Galveston park, and you said that maybe he'd just heard something about it. You also said,

"fyi, he was NOT a Commodore (O-7) in the USCG.
his title was awarded him as a portion of his office as the leader by ELECTION of his peers of The Texas Coastal Patrol, which was NOT affiliated with the Coast Guard.
it was a TEXAS (privately funded/armed/supplied) operation, from beginning to end. the NY Naval Militia was similar to the TCP,in that it functioned "under the guidance of" the NYAG's office, while remaining privately funded/supplied/armed. (post 1260)

I kept asking you about how he could have been both a commodore in the Texas Coastal Patrol (whatever that is) and a RAM(ret'd), as you'd said earlier, and you said, in post #1314

"RAM" was the WW2 designation for REAR ADMIRAL. Yachting magazine's review of the book (according to "heyworthLESS") said he was a RAM (Ret).

I know it must be hard for you to keep all these stories straight.

to "bubba": laughing AT you. did you miss that i said the REVIEWER said that he was a retired Rear Admiral??

what i said was that i believed that he was the elected Commodore of the TCP & nothing more.(unlike "know it alls" like YOU, reviewers make mistakes-you, otoh, just KNOWINGLY LIE & LIE.)

when you get CAUGHT in a WHOPPER, then you try to change the subject, accuse someone else of persecuting you,accuse someone else of dishonesty, etc,etc,etc. what you SHOULD do, IF you were HONEST is ADMIT your dishonesty.

to ALL: what is going on here is that "bubba" is DESPERATELY trying to "change the subject" away from his KNOWING, intentional, LIES, which he routinely tells & which he "got caught in" this time.

everyone should ask him WHICH of the BANNED FReepers that he USED to be, before he reappeared on FR, with a new screen-name. (nobody, to my knowledge, believes that he wasn't previously a BANNED FReeper. the question is WHICH one.)
