: Stephen:
: Taking out your frustrations on Brendon won't make your movie come true. If posting on this site meant that Great Lakes topics would make it to the silver screen.. then many of us documentary peons would be millionaires by now.
: This site is an incredible resource to connect divers from all around the lakes. It ties us to resources that we would have to spend THOUSANDS of dollars to access (travel-hotel-food-TIME). Lucky for us, Brendon and his group of volunteers love to research.. and it makes (at least for me) the cost of doing local maritime documentaries possible.
: There will always be rumours of a Fitz movie. It's an amazing and tragic story. But promoting something when it's still just an idea (or script) isn't news. I'm looking forward to the time you can post a theater and time for me to see it.

Yep, another message from me!
Since you're obviously in the Farnquist camp, could you tell me why he doesn't come on here and defend himself? I mean, IF this site really IS the "incredible resource" you proclaim it to be, than where's Farnquist?
You should know that whatever prejudice you or Farnquist or Baillod harbor towards the production of the FITZGERALD movie MEAN NOTHING in the grand scheme of things. Your involvement is definitely not required, NOR is it welcome.
If anything, your infantile criticisms only PROVE my assertion that you and your ilk are really just local blowhards pretending to serve a purpose in life.
Oh, here's a shocker: Tom Farnquist does not own the EDMUND FITZGERALD. Given his remedial knowledge of the FITZ, it is quite obvious that Mr. Farnquist is nothing more than an over-inflated ego pretending to be a historian. He is a used-car salesman in pirate's clothing... and I assure you that his days as "expert" are numbered.
One last thing: Mr. Baillod kicked Mr. Williamson off of these message boards for statements made about Farnquist, so I expect no less. Unfortunately, Baillod's attempts to silence me will be in vain.
