> No politics here (though I’m sure if you squint you can find a way to accuse me of racism or sexism or something)

I am incredibly skeptical of anyone who starts an article like this - comes across like a teenager trying to be edgy.

As for the article itself, I find it incredibly odd how worked up people get over this stuff. The vitriol of the article is quite frustrating to get over even though the analysis and breakdown is accurate.

Then I suggest to not join the "eloquent" sailing community and try to exchange gross incompetence for fame.

Yet, there wasn't any politics in it, was tehre?

I find the people who find it odd when people get worked up about elaborate scheming, odd.

That's not the point. There's better ways to express the fact that your post isn't political than implying that people are just "too sensitive" about racism and sexism or something. Like I said, it comes across like a teenager trying to be edgy and that childish tone is carried through the entire article.

Again such anger and vitriol. Like honestly why are people so worked up over such a thing? This doesn't bother me at all. If they're lying, the police will figure it out. If they're not, then they won't. What's so odd about just letting idiots be?

I think this armchair cross-examination is tiring and pointless.

EDIT: Never knew being critical of the author's tone was deserving of down-voting - interesting crowd here I must say.

I know where you're coming from. However this article is not like facebook randos posting their 2 cents on non-stories. The guy has expertise in sailing, and in ripping apart stories, we enjoy both.
