What a totally absorbing read.

Read through the thread and relevant links once, and I am left with the following thoughts.

Paul Voss has an extremely low opinion of himself and his achievements in life so far.  Unfortunately his initially successful attempts to enrich his standing with those he considers peers, reinforced a pattern of self-denial and pathological lying, spiralling hopelessly out of control and ending in flames.  People got burnt.  A lesson was learnt by the flight sim community, but not, it appears, by Voss.  
This thread has drawn the interest and contribution of some names - reminded me of "Excession"  Iain M Banks - and lended some heavy hitting authority to statements made.

The 418th Hornets are quick to defend a perceived attack on their squadron's honour, tactics or game play & rightly so: but only a couple have stepped up to actively defend their squad mate.  I am left with the impression that by defending Voss's actions the question of his current identity has been resolved.   The defence questioning his identity was far more effective, but the man himself laid that to rest.  I will be interested in the CO's reaction.

I would have liked to have seen more of a fight but I guess you can't have everything.  Thanks for this thread, it was all news to me and needs to be known.  Named and Shamed - sorted.

p.s. excuse sig, normally post in bug forum :D

Gonna have to mark this day on my calendar, both DoK and DD chimed in. I almost feel like I'm back in the dark recesses of the GEnie Air Warrior Forum.

Any chance we might see ya up flying DD?


Always a chance, but the amount of effort it would require to get up the first time currently exceeds my motivational index by about a factor of 10:p

If you mean your tactics of boring people to tears or inducing pity in others were actually the first stages of a cunning and devious plan then I wish you could have warmed up faster than a degree a day or so. :D

You need to change The Rock into The Voss/Metatron and change the title to Red Scorpion King.

My bet would be on the potatonet Voss hero worhip club's mantra...


SUCKAS

It has kind of a double meaning, especially if he added an additional 'S' ;)

Nothing particularly gay about you showing your arse to all of us. It's not like we WANTED to see your skinny hairless rump. ;)

Didn't you know?  His hemorroids...err I mean brain cancer flared up again and is in his death bed.  But we're all going to be going over to his house and wash his warbirds for him and finally play that TAS beta he promised to release oh so many years ago.  Ironman and Oneman are going to be buying the beer.
