Imagine him if he's applying for auto insurance for an exotic car.

Well I guess I'm just totally lost I don't the whole damn thread.......WTF
Not to pick nits, but the statements you listed are opinions, not facts. Water boils at 100ºC is a fact; "I think that water is hot" is an opinion (correct or not). "Earth has warmed within the past 10,000 years is a fact (we are not currently in an ice age). "Global warming IS caused by man is a (weakly supported) opinion.
Just because you aren't paranoid doesn't mean "they" aren't watching you
Paranoia strikes deep!

See...the point was made....on both sides.
One huge problem is when people post opinions "LIKE" they are facts....you point that out and they dig in and are almost comical in their defense instead of stopping for a moment and looking at all the posts from a different point of view.
A great example is when us U.S. types (happy 4th to us all) emphatically post a law or action required by law that is U.S. only. Without quickly realizing there are others in the discussion who don't even know what we are talking about by being from other countries or experienced cruisers who know better than to make it a sweeping generalization.
Usually if you make one of those sweeping generalizations....you will be called on it pretty quickly.

Is that a fact, or just your opinion, because it kind of sounded like you were stating it as a fact? Either way, I don't see any problem. You should (in my humble opinion) consider yourself lucky if that is as "huge" as your problems get.

Certainly the BB's OP is true enough. There is case law enough on libel and harassment that can be searched by all of us armchair lawyers. Libel laws pertain to the Internet as well as other written documents. The reality is it rarely come to anything at all at least in Canada, unless you have sufficiently deep pockets to hire a legal team to do otherwise. For example...

I suspect the issues on trawler forum pale in comparison to this recent event in the news...

Sad but true!
I have met several folks from trawler forum around the waterfront and anchorages. Maintaining some semblance of decorum on the Internet is useful if one hopes to have a chit chat face to face sometime down the inlet!
