The following is a quote from Frank Reed who apparently owns NAVLIST and Reednavigation.com.

This is his very racist and offensive opinion of Filipinos.

.....Iloilo is home to a large port and a major maritime school. The Philippines remains grossly sexist, and its demented, populist president is well-known for his misogyny. Philippine maritime schools produce far more graduates than the market can support, and this naturally leads to infighting, bitterness, and jealousies within the community. Cowardly attacks on women and blustering about political correctness come easily to those at the bottom of the ladder who cannot find work.

His comments are outrageous

Ref Mr. Frank Reed.
I have only come to this forum today by chance having downloaded a 2023 Nautical Almanac; ...decided to register and found I was already registerd in 2017 - having forgotten I must have done so !  I have not had any interest in Nautical navigation matters since that time though I was very much involved then and contributed to a celestial navigation forum (NAVLIST) presided over by Mr. Frank Reed.

I left that forum by being excluded by Mr. Reed over issues of his irritatingly bombastic manner in Lunar Distance discussions in which I had made assessments using my own sextants and found the very best that could be reasonably achieved was near, usually greater than, 30 seconds of accuracy in time; and more likely around a minute unless great care in all corrections were used. He had a bee in his bonnet that it was quite reasonable to achieve much better than that. I disagreed. He didn't like that. We had a clash of personalities I guess.

I found him to be bombastic; arrogant with a highly superior and unpleasant manner, and with a clearly anti-British prejudice with it. Leaving that group was easy to accept, and being excluded no disadvantage as his demeanour was unhelpful to say the least.
I am not surprised in the least therefore to learn of his racist manner and opinons of Filipinos.  It is the same it would seem, as his opinon of the British.
