What I'm wondering, Wotan, is really two things. First, how come you don't fly here anymore, when you've obviously left a piece of yourself with us? Second, if you don't want to fly here, why would you want to denigrate the efforts of the staffers who still do?
Not a diss, it's a real question.

No I haven't left any of me there. I just like an opportunity to poke a stick at the Pac War Mafia.
However, I haven't denigrated any staffer. Please point to where I said anything close to that. What I said was Pac set ups suck. They sucked when Brady did umm, they suck when the first one ran and they suck now. I gave my reasons:
1. Disparity in the plane set. Very well is "historical" which on its own is not that bad. Add the other 2 below and Pac setups become garbage.
2. Numbers disparity. Usually but not exclusively but combined with 1 and 3 they are not that fun.
3. Timidity on the part of some players. This is the main contributor to the lameness of Pac set ups. Add in the faster planes and it gets even worse.
With all those guys you listed you would figure that a few CT’rs would follow them about and see how they do it.
That has nothing to do with the staffers. I only think 1 staffer sucks arse but I would never say so who. Unlike the farm bois who have no qualms about insulting a "staffer". Some of them made a CT career out of it.
Please don't confuse me with them.
Here's my original post, please point out where I denigrated a staffer:
That’s hardly surprising since the majority who live in the ct are in some sort of allied/navy squad.
Those who fly the ct occasionally and post even less just skip the crappy Pac set ups altogether.
Catering to a small portion of the entire AH player base (the so called “CT regulars”) won’t increase participation in the CT. Pac setups have always been out of balance in terms of numbers. Lots of allies; fewer axis.
The reason is that these setups are by far out of parity with regards to the plane set. Whether its "historical" or not makes no difference to a player who just wants to get a few fights in without being ganged by some bore and ZZZZZ "just flying smart" player. They can do that in the main while flying a more competitive plane.
With much fast planes and timid pilots it’s just to boring for the average player to suffer through.
Of the 20 guys in the CT 15 of umm love these setups, 5 don’t and anyone else who might have been interested in the CT looks at the match ups and says F'it and goes to the main. Pac set ups have always been that way since Sabre ran the first one.
The trick is to create a set up that considers not just the 15 but to make a set up as competitive as possible regardless of the whines. As HT said on the CT CM forum a long time ago. Never sacrifice game play for historical accuracy.
It was just some friendly unsolicited advice. Take it with a grain of salt.
The only other post that has any thing close to negative in it is my reply to Squire.
Let's just say he and I aren’t friends and leave it at that.
The only other reply besides this one was PF / FB/ AEP related.
One of us has missed something. I will assume it was me and apologize to you if there's there that was misconstrued. I will see you another few months if a thread like this comes a long and I am so inclined as to comment on it. We both know it will. In the mean time have fun and don't mind me too much.
Bug, you running for something?
Reschke,
I misplaced your email addy. I transferred to Thunderbird and must have lost it. Send me one here.
