Was this guy short? I really have no idea, but I've seen a man waist-deep in water in PotC before.


Anyhow, I'd rather you guys get kraken on some more puns. ;)

really? It was fact when you heard from a friend this and needed more details?

And not one person in this thread called you a liar.

No one is calling you a liar. You should realize, though, that the more you react in a defensive and angry manner, the lower your story's credibility is likely to become.

You have several options on how to handle this situation: you could try to cite credible sources to confirm the story; you could kick back and await the story to be confirmed by others; or you can continue bashing people for not believing you. Your choice.

If the story is real, eventually it will be reliably confirmed. If not, it won't.




At this point, the credibility of your story is close to zero. If you want people to believe your story, you should offer some credible proof.

One thing is for certain, however: kicking about the "unbelievers who won't believe" is guaranteed to push the story's credibility even closer to zero.

This, exactly.

i have to agree with mr wiggins.. whoa thought i'd never say that ;) lol and wow we are sure sailing through the pages on this thread!

Thank you Mr Wiggins, your post sums this up perfectly. A friend heard, my cousin was told, my friend that is a CM had heard, etc. are all hearsay and therefore are not submittable forms of evidence that this ever happened. Thank you for reporting what you heard, but please accept the fact that until there is a credible source for the claims that the story will be in doubt.

Could this have actually happened? Yes it could have. If you really got this info from a friend thanks for sharing it as a rumor and asking this community if they too had heard of this but don't be upset when it hasn't shown up on the radar here and we are doubtful.

Both of those instances you present were at least searchable through a Google Search or a YouTube search and found. I'm finding NOTHING on a Pirates Boat sinking with guests and/or guests in waist deep water.

So until what Mr. Wiggins says here, happens

No one has called you a liar.

You presented second-hand information, you didn't even see it for yourself. It sounds like it is "big" news, and you obviously agreed since you started a thread about it. Members wanted confirmation this happened, as it obviously does not happen often.

I'm sorry you feel offended by people wanting clarification and confirmation. I would recommend not posting things that you cannot back up if it upsets you for people to ask questions. Unfortunately, that's human nature. It's nothing personal.

Seconded on both parts!! Mr. Wiggins - well said.

We are sailing into uncharted seas, now! Batten down the hatches, there may be rough waters ahead!

Just to make my post clear, there have been posts here that state that CM heard this and there have been CM that have never heard of this incident. I'm not saying it didn't happen, but until someone with a name is willing to step up and say they actually saw this, post a picture or give an account of what happened, I think this is still just a rumor.
