Aerial duel to the death - count to ten then Fire!

Pacplyer I have 'plonked' BWB but all of 'you' keep including his filth in your posts back to him. Have you ever used the insert "----clip----"? I'm sure he knows what he wrote so you telling him back in your reply is redundant. Big John, Pac sez: Your points are valid John and I apologize to all for my cargo dog language, and for reposting the same by responding to same. But Usenet is the wild, wild west of the internet and it may just happen again. Sorry in advance when I, or others cuss up a storm about something we feel passionate about. :-\ All, I look at RAH just like a busy intercity freeway. People who are anonymous in their automobiles do things they never would consider doing to others face to face in a social setting. They flip the bird when they get cut off, and then, they swerve with no blinkers in front of a slow vehicle in the fast lane to get even. Again, that's not how these people act when they get out of their automobiles. That's not how they act to those they know, or have just met at the store. I don't attack them at the filling station to get even. No harm, no foul. RAH is identical in almost every way except one: No structure, other than the regular's sharp reprisals exist to put a wild driver into question. When a Charlatan gets exposed, he usually fires a parting shot and leaves. Or when a person has no depth of character, or nothing memorable to say he usually seeks an anonymous cloak and nit-picks the others about being off-topic, uncivil, or turns into a spellchecker. :-( That's life on the freeway: you have great drivers and then you have Helen Keller. Granted, in this analogy, BWB is nothing less than the terminator in a runaway Peterbuilt. If we can just re-program his prime directive, we would have one hell of a writer on our hands again. Be patient. It's either that or we'll just have to kill him. ;-) (mass injections of Muzzleloader come to mind. But save some for me, I have yet to sample this fine sounding cure-all.) Now for my pet peeve about all of you: I do not accept the on-topic/off-topic outlook many of you have for RAH. It is not a place in cyberspace confined only to the demands of newbies that want free homebuilding information. RAH is our home, and I consider all of you my friends. I've been reading you for years and I feel as if I know all of you. Yes even that "Alpha Hotel" I had to flame the other day! :-# As long as RAH remains 100% unmoderated, I will enjoy it and hang out here. :-) Back to net-rage. On the real road, the state maintains a hugely expensive police force to stop this behavior, but it doesn't put a dent in the road rage problem. All it does is fill up donut shops with cops who, understandably, don't want to deal with it. We have a lot of road rage at RAH. With total freedom of expression in play, and a large population of people driving around with fake license plates, feathers are going to get ruffled. But tolerating a bunch of Netcops in our presence is not the answer. Instead of dictating or trying to change all of your behavior... Maybe, if for example: I developed a little thicker skin when someone said I was full of Methane, I could just accept him/her for what she/he is: a ****ing moron... whoops: withdrawn! (hey, lawyers get away with that!) strike that from the record; I meant: a different mentally developed individual than myself. ;-) Someone (perhaps a colleague,) once alluded that, my posts "didn't ring true." If I'd of have a thicker skin, maybe I wouldn't have felt compelled to flame his sorry ass to the ground... but boy, I must confess, he deserved it and it sure felt Gooooood! I have since kinda regretted it (But the ******* asked for it, right?) O.K, O.K. it was wrong. But Ladies and Gentlemen, RAH is GA, and GA IS inherently dangerous. We just lost two pilots in experimentals in our area last month. If you can't suffer a little criticism or overlook the faults of professional pilots and builders with experience, then you don't belong in the sky. pacplyer - out |

No 2) Do you suspect that "pac plyer" suffers the delusion that there are large numbers of lurkers reading his every word? No delusion. Lurkers far outnumber posters. 3) Do you wish that "pac plyer" would stop taking posts out of existing threads and posting them as new posts here? No. He's very entertaining. 4) Do you wish that "pac plyer" would disappear just as abruptly as he (she, it) arrived? No. See answer to (3) above. |

The delusion would be that said lurkers are reading his every word. Try to grab a few clews before posting. He's very entertaining. Well, if self-aggrandizing BS that has nothing to do with experimental aircraft is what floats your boat... |

Pac sez: Well "Pollster", you're slurking around reading me aren't you? :-D Looks like you failed Logic 101 in night school and then dropped out to become a ground-pounder. :-) I only need one fan, positive or negative to encourage me. So just for you, I shall hereby double my postings. Unless of course, a spineless, nameless, nutless shell of a man(?) like you conjurs up the courage to post his real name here to convince me otherwise. But I wouldn't bet on anything concerning your character (didn't surprise me to see you arguing with your own respondants.) pacplyer :-D :-D :-D To: All, (whoops, delutional) To: "Pollster" & Mom looking over his shoulder, (since no one else is reading this After this post I vow never to wrestle with a pig again: because you just get dirty, and after a while the pig begins to enjoy it! ;-) |
