11dano11 spewed:Of those here who flew in AW, how many were trained by someone from the Damned
I was. I ain't ashamed to admit it, either. Snowman and Stymy taught me lotsa good stuff and I mentally thank them whenever I use any of that. Snowman even hired me as a trainer several years down the line in AW2 and AW3 and I enjoyed working with him.
But here's the thing. The Damned, including all its subsidiaries, is so friggin' global that it can't help containing maybe even a dozen good guys who don't fit the stereotype established by the teeming multitudes of Damned. Hell, I can think of 10-12 Damned who've been worthy adversaries, respected fellow pilots, and/or even friends over the years. You and I have gotten along fine in the past online, and I tried to keep you drunk on beer I either made or bought at the last 2 Cons. But the rest of your horde has always been a bunch of whining, running, bailing, altmonkey gangbangers and I don't see that ever changing.
What have you contributed, Bullethead?
Like I said, I was a trainer in AW myself. Many of those who started AW after it got Windblown and are still flying AH today were my pupils. People still find my training website useful in AH even if I've never updated it to AH standards. I was in the closed tests of every version of AW after DOS. I've made maps for AW and AH, designed and run AW scenarios, and I make skins--no doubt you'll be using some of mine soon in AH2. I've also gotten BB, Moggy, and HT drunk at my expense more than once each

You're a gawddam liar.
I've been called worse by better and deserved it. But I don't deserve this. I got nothing personal against you, but all that I've said about the Damned is true to the stereotype established by the majority of your members over many years and across 3 different sims. If you don't like me saying it, I suggest you do something to change the image of your squad(s).
