I don't know why some feel the need to pick on spelling and grammar.

And yet spelling errors are often (it seems) immediately recognizd when
they are read, so there appears to be something more involved.

(So _was_ my spelling error immediately obvious?)

Would all you posters taking Deger on please remove alt.fiction.original
from the header. We are being swamped by the feeding frenzy.

Thank you.

My apologies for dragging alt.fiction.original into this flaming war.
I thought I was posting a simple announcement the draft of my book is
available for download. Do you know how to remove a group in Google
Groups? I hope at least one person in the group likes the book.

From Danny Dot:
My suggestion to you was to
rethink your view that your flight lead was wrong. That your flight
lead tried to kill you.

Where in the heck did I say he wanted to kill me? Please don't put
words in my mouth. I only said he wanted to embarrass me by flying a
turn tighter than I could. He did not know, and I did not know the
consequences of flying into his jet wash. If I had known, I certainly
would not have. If he had known, he certainly would not have flown
such a tight turn that I had to follow.

But I thank you for not throwing random insults at me in your posts.
I enjoyed reading actually. You have good insight on the situation,

My bad about that part of your final turn story. I remember reading
somewhere in your story about someone trying to kill you and I must
have gotten that crossed.

No one has ever tried to kill me. I never thought that and I never
said it in my book. Maybe you thought based on what has happened to
me my life is at risk :-) I don't think so. I think NASA draws the
line at lying to local officials and working with a judge to stop due
process under the law. I really would be surprise if NASA has a hit
squad :-)

"One day this almost killed me."
It must have been this statement that I mistook as your perception of
a willful act.

Once again, my mistake for taking the out-to-get-me message too far
here.

I jumped in on this thread in hopes that I could add something that
helps. I'm sure that there are lots of people who are faced with
problems of this type. Not much fun.

Thanks -- it is not much fun. And being bullied at work is very
common. It happens all the time. Europe is much further along than
the US in stopping it. Maybe if my story get out, something will
happen in this country.

It would certainly be great if people treat each other with respect in
the workplace. If you could write a book toward that end that didn't
express hostility, vindictiveness or pity then I would support that.

As it is, one possible effect of your book is that no one will want to
take a management position in fear of having to deal with situations
of this type.

You mean you don't wear a tinfoil hat to keep the government mind
control rays away from you?


I was going to get one but the one that had an STC for inflight use was God
awful expensive.

Only if you permanently attach it to your skull using screws or rivets.

I used velcro.

HA!, That's just what they want you to do.

Like I said. I am an engineer. Fortunetely I don't have to earn a
living by remembering the difference between brake and break. If I
did, I would starve to death :-)


Are you able to earn a living as an engineer?

I am starting a new career teaching pysics at a local college.

Strike three.

Cheap compared to the TSOed one, however :-)

I can see it's pointless to discuss the issue with you. You aren't
actually interested in either discussion or feedback. Worse yet,
you've so convinced yourself that your version is correct - you can't
even see where the documents and your version diverge.

Good idea to just throw random insult at me if you can't discuss the
facts of the matter.
