Damn sweeps. 

I guess I'll know when I see someone at fair wear one.

It is sweeps week, isn't it???

"Look there’s the ever elusive Firefly Pirate Vampire.”

No offense to anyone who has one, just jokes.

I'm thinking of Mathilda May in Lifeforce. Of course, she was completely nude. And then again, I'm always thinking of Mathilda May...

I was so busy replyin' to other post that this one slipped under the wire so I am just catching up.

Not to open healing wounds again but

Harbor Master, you said somthing that is making my little brain twitch...

Piracy for me spans a whole lot more than the very narrow time frame of the GAoP. Even a Justaucorps is to new for the GAoP. I like the Justaucorps coat however its not GAoP. But many like the coat for "Pirate".

Yes, Piracy does span a huge amount of time... probably from the first week a ship was on the water to right now. That is why I usually use the handy dandy GAoP in just about all of my post refering to pirate things. Which is loosly defined as 1680ish to about 1730ish

"The Justaucourp is to new for the GAoP"

????

Is this a typo? Did you meant to say

It is new to the GAoP or that it is too new for theGAoP...

ooops, wait a minute. your next line clears it up

I like the Justaucorps coat however its not GAoP

The Justaucorps actually comes into play around 1670ish and lasts in some degree through the end of the end of the 18th century

First off, may I thank Ace and HM for responding to my (I hope not too rude) post with politeness and decency. Thanks for not making this the flame war it could be.

Yes, I agree that had John qualified his remarks as relating solely to the GAoP it would have been better. However, it ought to be remembered that most people here consider the word "pirate" to be more or less synonymous with "GAoP era pirate" unless its otherwise stated.

I also apologise if I took certain posts too seriously. I suspect this comes from the language differences between English and Americanese. Over here certain terms use have much more significance than they do in the States.

Now, John has outlined the reasons for his comments, and the reasons he did not delete the message. Whether his decision or his comments were right or not is a matter of debate, but he should NOT have got the abuse and bad-mouthing which he did for making them.
