Thank you for posting this. On these groups it probably won't change
anything, but thank you anyway. Dudley Henriques International Fighter Pilots Fellowship "Shiver Me Timbers" wrote in message ...

Regarding Iwan Bogels" Michael wrote: As it is, you have a freak show and little else. For the last number of days Iwan Bogels" has crossposted the same or similar message into a variety of groups like this inviting you to visit his site, and view his videos, so that you may become educated, and learn from the mistakes of others. In the piloting newsgroups he has been trying to justify his freakshow with a number of the regulars who surprising enough for the most part didn't see all that much wrong with it. For the groups information. A few years ago when the reality TV programs started to hit the air, there was someone named Jeremy Peevers ( I believe ) and others who were posting to the aviation newsgroups looking for footage similar to what Mr. Bogels is showing on his website. In the rec.aviation.homebuilt, and rec.aviation.rotorcraft groups (where I generally lurk) they were basically told to **** off by the majority or regulars who were offended that someone was looking for death and destruction videos so they could be shown of national TV for a profit under the guise of entertainment. I personally asked on numerous times (in the group) if Real TV would be interested in clear, well lit, sharply focused, footage of a young girl being decapitated by a helicopter rotor and how much they would be willing to pay. That usually shut them up. They didn't want videos of people out actually enjoying a day at the airport, with shots of airplanes taking off, flying and landing. They wanted videos of total destruction, fireballs, cartwheels, well ........ you get the picture. The other day Iwan Bogels" crossposted his message into this set of newsgroups looking for hits to his site. alt.disasters.aviation, fr.rec.aviation, rec.aviation.military, rec.aviation.piloting, rec.aviation.soaring Yesterday he decided to crosspost his message into this set of newsgroups. alt.aviation.safety, aus.aviation, rec.aviation.homebuilt, rec.aviation.ifr, rec.aviation.student And today he is crosspoting to this set of newsgroups rec.aviation.rotorcraft, rec.aviation.student, rec.models.rc.helicopter God knows where he will be tomorrow. I'm certainly not telling anybody what they should or shouldn't look at on the Web but let's not delude ourselves into believing the pitch from Mr. Bogels this his site is for educational purposes so that pilots, etc., can learn from the mistakes of others by watching these videos. As another poster has stated..... And I am quoting him below. As it is, you have a freak show and little else. Mr. Bogel...... In my humble opinion the above quoted statement is hitting the nail squarly on the head and you can dress your site up any way you want, and explain anyway you want.... but in my opinion you are promoting a freak show site and nothing else. |
