I did not post the photo to change the discussion to altering photos digitally, I took it from a website that documents dangers to dolphins and actual known injuries to dolphins from moving boats. I had, and have no reason to believe that it's not an actual, unaltered photo of such an injury. There are other photos on-line of dolphin injuries caused by boats. I seriously doubt that they have been altered.

I participate in boating forums for two reasons; to learn about boating from others, and to share my knowledge of boating with others.
Unfortunately, every Internet forum has its share of members who participate, not to learn or share, but to argue. Argue with just about any statement they decide to argue on. If they have nothing to say, they post it anyway.
This forum seems to have more than its share of such "know it alls", people who just argue for argument's sake. You know who you are and everyone else does as well.
If you think running headlong into a pod of swimming dolphins (or any other marine life) doesn't put them at risk, you are an idiot. I can't help you and no one else can either. You are certainly a poor ambasador for the boating community. In my opinion, you are also an ******* and a jerk.
