Charlie and Mr. Granger, I hope that your responses, though they are on my post aren't referring to me. As I believe I didn't say anything political at all. I'll tell you this though one thing I have learned over the last six or eight years is that I don't even make an attempt to talk to anyone who opposes my viewpoints. It just isn't worth it. It is just not the hill I want to die on.
Just an FYI, the posts/comments you're referring to were made in 2018.

O'Day 19 Littleton, NH
Two sailors, Al and Alice, set sail together aboard their 40 foot sloop, heading for Hawaii. They were in the middle of the pacific, three days from Hilo, when a big storm loomed up unexpectedly. Al was in the middle of mansplaining about knots while they were at the mast to shorten sail. Al explained authoritatively, to untie a knot, sometimes it needs to be "capsized."

The storm hit, the two sailors fought the storm bravely. The winds blew like stink, the waves lifted the sloop sixty - seventy feet and threw it down, down, down into their troughs, over thirty feet below sea level. They capsized when one giant wave broke over them. Alice clung to the life raft with one hand and Al's harness with the other.

They finally managed to climb aboard the raft when the first shark showed up. Alice and AL drifted for days, a week, another week. Alice had to listen to Al teach her about fishing with a hand line, fillet a fish, cook on a solar stove, until land was finally spotted. They were joyous and pulled hard to row past the breakers and drift up onto the beach; big holes ripped into the raft by the reef.

Exhausted, the two sailors crawled up onto the beach, only to find they were on a deserted island. Al explained about lighting a fire without matches, he taught Alice about building a shelter, he told her how they could mark out the word "HELP" in giant letters made of coconuts on the beach.

They were foraging in the woods when Alice recognized a bunch of wild onion. She brought an arm full back to the camp and set them down to work at getting a coconut opened to drink the milk. Al picked up an onion and explained to Alice that onions were the only plant that could make a man cry.

Alice hit him in the head with a coconut.
