writes: In reference to your quoted story, where is the view from Adam Aircraft on why they felt it was necessary to have their plane at the biggest and most important aviation even of the year? Was it really a risk to bring it here or not? Were they even asked to comment? I doubt it but if they were, obviously their comments were ignored. I haven't been to ANN for quite a while, but has Adam Aircraft advertised with zoom? Or did he use his reported tactic of putting in unauthorized advertising and then sending a bill for it? Can't say for sure but I wouldn't give any odds. Bob Reed www.kisbuild.r-a-reed-assoc.com (KIS Builders Site) KIS Cruiser in progress...Slow but steady progress....

In article , "Juan E Jimenez"
writes: If it were just between them, why is it plastered all over ANN every few months? Probably for the same reason Chuck puts up his silly signs up every few months. Funny, I have seen the signs and do not recalling Jim Campbell's name on any of those signs. They do say "Zoom Free Zone" or something similar but whats the big deal about that? Only a very few insiders know what that means and aside from that, its his right to post any damn sign he wants. I don't see Chuck going out of his way to publish on a public news service a condemnation of Campbell every few months. I wouldn't blame him if he did. I also wouldn't blame him if he made it a point to go to every potiential advertiser on ANN and tell them the details of Campbell's past dealings. I wonder how Jim would like that?

As a school teacher I always recommended that the teasing would stop if the
person being teased ignored the teaser. They just like the attention that your response brings. Likewise Juan and Jim. Might be worth a try. "Warren & Nancy" wrote in message ...

"Juan E Jimenez" wrote
Actually, he said that if "successfully sued" means prevailed, then who prevailed against him? (paraphrased; he actually wrote it from the losing respondent's point of view). I haven't seen any evidence that his statement is untrue. The evidence is right there in front of your eyes. When you agree to settle a suit and pay damages, you lose. Not taking sides, but there's generally no admission of wrong-doing when a settlement is reached. Something else to consider in regards to the "big" settlement is that they had liability insurance, therefore the insurance company was named as co-defendant, and they might have driven the decision to settle. The cost of settling could have smaller than the cost of defending a case and appeals that might've dragged on for a couple years. Better a known figure now which you can write off, than an unknown amount (for both defense and outcome) in the future. It also could've been an insignificant sum to the insurance company... remember, insurances companies have insurance too (called re-insurance) to spread their risk. (And re-insurers have insurance, etc, etc... it can even come full circle, which makes calculating responsibility for payouts fun and interesting.) So it could be just as fair to say that the suit was successfully defended. Just because money changed hands doesn't mean bupkis about the merits of the suit. And frankly speaking, I wouldn't trust a "jury of my peers" to decide if it was day or night. These are the same "peers" that bankrupted Dow with a $3.2 billion payout for silicone breast implants which showed no scientific or statistical evidence of causing disease (systemic or otherwise). As a disinterested third party, I also found Chuck to be very forthcoming about his past and current litigation, which is a far cry from catching him in a lie. Did he supply it in his initial post? No, but then it wasn't relevant. Similarly, you'll notice I haven't provided a list of my civil, criminal and traffic violations Eric "you can't flame me... I said "breast" :-)" |

You are probably right, but Juan said to write to ANN. All I suggested is that
he do so, and publish the results here. Then Juan could see the type of response one gets from honest questions and criticism. I got mine when I asked a former friend if he actually wrote a letter published in ANN. My question was forwarded to JC, and the zooming began.

Likewise Juan and Jim. Might be worth a try. As a former victim of a school bully, who spent 2 weeks in the hospital with multiple broken bones and a fractured skull, I disagree. The only way to deal with teasing and bullying is with overwhelming counter force. When the local authority - the teacher - tells the victim to not respond, it guarantees an escalation of the threat. Other counter force must be found, or eventually the victim will be killed. That counterforce will be found either with police, lawyers, or, in some cases, superior violence. Teachers that support one group of students abusing others is why Columbine happened. |

It is impossible to believe the amount of energy going into this kind of
thing!!! I could build a house with the time and energy spent in flaming each other in this newsgroup. What does everyone get out of this excercise? What is the purpose or goal behind it?? I'm really curious. Stu Fields "Juan E Jimenez" wrote in message news:y_t6b.278017$cF.86657@rwcrnsc53... "Jez" wrote in message news 1) Chuck Slusarczyk seems to have consistently told the truth, even when it has been an admission that he has settled law suits for fairly large sums of money, which could reasonably be expected to cause a certain amount of embarrassment. Despite many attempts to catch Chuck out in a lie, no-one seems to have succeeded. You're entitled to your opinion. I disagree. |
