After the dust settled down, they reconnected the warning, jumped up on top of the panel, stuck their tongues out at you, and left you to explain the mess to your C.O."

Dudley Henriques International Fighter Pilots Fellowship Flight Instructor/Aerobatics/Retired You take yourself WAY to seriously... WAY too seriously.... Take some deep breaths. Wait an hour after you write something to a newsgroup, then read again before hitting send. It will do your nerves (not to mention your blood pressure) a lot of good. When conversing in newgroups, you're going to get all kinds of kooks, it's to be expected. After following your severe over-reaction to dreamed-up personal attacks I'm starting to think you could be one of them, or perhaps just losing it a bit. Go back and read all your posts pretending it wasn't you who sent them, then tell me what you think of the guy who wrote them. The fact is, your buddy's death was caught on film. It was probably on TV several times. The video... IS "cool stuff" in that the definition of "cool" in our society has come to mean: interesting, informative, and yes even "entertaining." (Although the current Webster's defines the slang definition as "excellent") Not the event itself, but the video of the event... You're going to have to get over this. Any guilt you may feel about the incident (however unfounded) is something you'll have to deal with on your own, and lashing out at others isn't going to help you. Regards, BeaglePig |

Regards, BeaglePig Hey...watta ya know......the group psychologist arrives!!! :-)) Listen up there Pig! Not that it matters, but like most idiot amateur Usenet psychologists , you are misreading my intention. Let me straighten you out here ole'buddy if I can. I'm not angry. I'm disgusted! There's a huge difference. I'm merely telling a few of you folks how I view some of you morons on "piloting". By doing that, I don't intend to make friends of the idiots I'm addressing . The good people around here that I'm NOT talking to won't be responding to my post anyway. They already share my disgust and will remain internet friends regardless of my telling the rest of you clowns to go to hell. Actually, for your edification, what I'm REALLY doing with a post like the one you're answering now is separating the morons like you from the worthwhile posters on this group. You see, there's a plan going on here, but idiots like you never seem to catch on. The objective here isn't to "lash out" as you say. I don't care enough about the specific people I'm addressing to "lash out" at them. All I'm doing here my friend is getting things all nice and tidy for the upcoming year of posting. Morons like you will respond as you've done already and possibly will again. Perhaps not. Who gives a damn? :-) Other morons will do their little "plonk" thing. Those worth knowing and having an intelligent aviation dialog with will already know me and what's going on and keep out of it. In the end, I'll know who's worth me taking my time with and who to avoid around here. With any luck at all, people like you will just killfile me and I'll be done with you. Then, when everything settles out, all that will be left will be those who understand aviation the way I do, and everybody will be happy campers. I'll know who to spend time posting to on this group and who to avoid around here, and if that means that there's only one person on this entire newsgroup worth my time, this little exercise will have been worthwhile for me. Get it yet? :-) Dudley Henriques International Fighter Pilots Fellowship Flight Instructor/Aerobatics/Retired |

BeaglePig... (former member of the Silent Majority of Lurkers (SML)) (Lurk mode back on) Trust me BP, I'm giving you the straight skinny on this FWIW. Believe me, after attending 32 funerals through fifty years of close association with the low altitude demonstration community, including our friends on the jet teams from several continents whom we have buried, I'm not all that sensitive to these issues on the anger side of the equation. I think I know the score on these issues, both crash video and Usenet. I'm just tired of having to separate the idiots from the good folks around this particular newsgroup, and I've decided to take the gloves off for awhile and sort out the chaff. Like you have correctly said, there are all kinds of people on Usenet. Most of the people on this group are fine and decent folks...yes, even some of them who watch crash videos of friends of mine going in. These people are different from the idiots out here however. They'll watch the video, but don't feel the need to lecture someone like me, a pilot who survived this extremely dangerous environment. If they want to discuss it with me, they'll ASK....not tell!! Problem is, I've been wasting a lot of my time posting to some people who don't deserve that time, and it's these people, not the decent folks that my rather "direct" posting style is geared to. I've decided that in the future on Usenet, although I can't control people who will post to me, I CAN control people to whom I will post and share information. So you see old buddy, that's all it is..........a sorting out process so to speak......a thinning out of the unwashed as they say, from the people I consider worth the sharing of my time, my effort, and my experience......nothing more sinister than that. All the direct language from me is simply to let specific posters know how I feel about them in the hope they won't bother posting to me again. Of course they can still do that, but at least they will be forewarned that I am no longer a friendly response....completely hostile to them. You would be surprised how effective this technique has been for me. I'd estimate that I've gotten rid of at least 30% of the morons out here for initial posting to me. Those idiots who persist I can either take on or pass over, but at least I'm not having to open and read as many moronic posts as I did before I adopted this tactic. So you see, it might not be the best plan in the universe, and perhaps you would be doing it differently, but it's working just fine for me. Those who hate my guts are leaving...at least enough of them to make it worth while. What's left are intelligent and decent posters with whom I can and will have meaningful dialog for years to come. :-) Dudley Henriques International Fighter Pilots Fellowship Flight Instructor/Aerobatics/Retired |

Dudley I think that in your rush to weed out your persecutors, you are including a great many others who share your views against Irwin's videos. The other's advise to think before flying off the handle, is well said, and would have made the heads up in this case unnecessary. I believe if you looked into my pasts posts, you would find I am not a "loon", and am generally good natured. I say this in all possible friendliness.
