Patrick, don't let it get to you. Bret has obviously got a problem - and it's not you! The fact that he hasn't even got the balls to use his own name after telling you to grow a sack is just so laughable! <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Unfortunately, there are confrontational people in this world just looking for perceived slights, when we encounter them it seems there's very little you can do other than let them rant but not let it affect you...

Just go out and enjoy your sailing, there are plenty of nice people in the sport who vastly outweigh the idiots...
