This is EXACTLY the point I have been trying to make, along with the fact that he enjoys the "cut and thrust" of BBS posting particularly when it comes to US vs. Brit arguments.

Dago, you seem to be the only one who hasn't actually met him in this pig pile on me. You are basing your opinion of the man on what he has written on this BBS. I'm basing mine much more on the actual person I have met.

Who, in that context has a better perspective...you or me?

This is what you write:

"beetle has a history of taking jabs at Americans every chance he gets. No point to it, nothing positive comes from it, it just serves his sad agenda. The fact is that his continuing to start these type of threads speak very poorly of him, and do not reflect well on his family and country.

I suspect he was raised by parents who belittled him as a child, resulting in his need to attempt to belittle others in a vain manner to feel better about himself. "

lol...interesting perspective from someone who has never met the man.

I pay attention to his threads and his posts and point out when I think he crosses any boundaries...just ask him.

This thread was a troll and he hooked a bunch.

Beet1e...please just settle this once and for all.

Why did you post that article? Is it because you really believe this? Or is it because you were jabbing lazs et al?

I'll answer that with a question of my own:

"Why did you respond 4 minutes after he posted?"

Only one guy beat you to be the first to respond.

You are not familiar with beetles works on this board I take it. He uses anything to paint Americans in a bad way. His insensitivity to the deaths of Americans in that crash is typical. The fact that 27 died to him is no reason not to poke fun at their weight. Yes, he is just that big of a jerk.

Part of his problem is his drinking, the other part is his physcological "issues". Sadly, he has not reached the point of recognizing his problems yet, so we must be exposed to his occasional thread denigrating our country and our people.

Someday he will die, probaby of liver failure, or possible dental disease, and only then can we expect the crap to end.

Ummm, because he read it within four minutes of it being posted?

Curval · « **Reply #65 on:** November 07, 2004, 12:29:41 PM »

SOB...he responded with this 4 minutes after the initial post:

"It's not so much that brits are fat as that they are out of shape and flabby. Must be that pub thing.. "

Nothing about what was actually posted, just a return "shot".

Cut....thrust.

Come on...you just joining the pig pile cause you are hoping to get in Mini's drawers later?

NUKE · « **Reply #66 on:** November 07, 2004, 12:35:02 PM »

What's the big deal? It was a classic Beetle post. Just a troll.

Beetle likes America and Americans and has said so himself several times...just the fact that he seems fixated on Americana is a testimate to that.

I don't see what the big deal is.

......... I posted 6 minuts after Curval, for the record

Dago · « **Reply #67 on:** November 07, 2004, 12:46:17 PM »

Nuke, you have to look deeper, doing it once is a troll. Doing the same thing over and over is no longer a troll, it is an obsession.

Trying to push it off as a joke, as a light hearted troll is the same as when you hear somebody insult someone, say something mean like "gosh you sure are ugly" then saying "just kidding". Done once, maybe they were just kidding, doing it over and over for years, and you realize it is not kidding, it is mean spirited and meant to hurt. It shows the true nature of the person, and the "kidding" statement just means they lack the guts to stand by their statement.

beetle has repeatadly slammed the USA and it's citizens, and a few have tried to pretend it was just his joking. It isn't.

The fact that he would make fun of innocent people who died tragically in a plane crash illustrates who beetle really is, and the problems he has.

What a funny thread! I'll answer a few questions.

Curval is right - I like a bit of quality trolling.

I posted this thread for four reasons.

It's about aviation, in which we all have an interest
It involved an accident, and therefore gives the aviation experts the chance to comment
It's about Americans - and 90% of this board is American, so I had an idea the post would be well read
It concerns the sensitive topic of obesity, a growing problem in America - no pun intended.

It's true, I have posted a number of threads over the years which could be considered controversial from an American perspective. The fact that it bothers Dago is icing on the cake.

Dago is one of those guys who simply loves to bash other countries, but adopts a holier than thou attitude should the people of those countries bash back. We have, in the past, seen Dago bash the British over dental health, and bash the French with regard to their military record. Jokes like the French military vehicles needing only a reverse gear, jokes about French military weapons only having been "dropped once". Yet Dago just expects us to lie down and take it. Well guess what? We can bash back! So when Dago says

Quote

Because you are a POS, a person with a sad physcological problem, stemming from an anger driven by envy and hate.

those remarks apply in equal measure to Dago when he goes on his Britain/France/Spain bashing crusades.

I don't think that my post was a bashing post. I merely quoted a newspaper article, and the title referred to part of the text in that article.

I think NUKE knows me pretty well for not having met me.

:cool:

Yes I did kiss SOB - lol - we were kind of burying the hatchet!

Loved the Lazs line "beetle is a great guy to be around. I enjoyed my time with him". hehe - sig material, but it's a bit too obvious. It would be really great to go shooting with Lazs AND Dago - but I don't think Lazs would allow it.

The simple point is this: You claim to "know beetle" because you've had a few pints with him. Well, that doesn't seem to be doing the trick here. Pretty much everyone disagreeing with you has met him too.

Try something a bit different: read his posts.

I suggest you read his last one.

beetel, see my previous "i was just kidding" comment, see if you recognize yourself. Many others will recognize you.

Dago is one of those guys who simply loves to bash other countries,

Regarding this comment, I admit to doing my share of tossing crap at other countries, but if you had bothered to notice, it was almost all in response to someone else starting out against America first. Quite often your crap as far as Britain insults. And, I didnt limit it to one country, I dont have the obsession with slamming one country that you have. Funny how selective your powers of observations are.

Something I think you need to consider beetle

Now, go off and find some more people to be nasty to, you have amused yourself enough at the expense of those 21 innocent victims enough.

I'm joining a "pig pile" because I answered your stupid question with a stupid answer? Have you turned into Ripsnort?

Cut....thrust.

It wasn't a stupid question...and I have already explained why it wasn't. See above.

Now, as to the pig pile...MiniD et al are all trying to say Beet1e was really serious about an article's tone about overweight Americans... a quote from a UK paper that everyone appears to be attributing to him.

I said he was just trolling.

MiniD says I should read his posts more to learn more about his reasons for posting etc.

Well, here it is...right from the "horses mouth":

Curval is right - I like a bit of quality trolling. - Beet1e.

Pig pile away, but I wasn't wrong.

SOB · « **Reply #74 on:** November 07, 2004, 03:09:46 PM »

Your question at the time was pretty stupid, because you explained it later doesn't make it less so.

And you're saying that you define a "pig pile" as more than one person disagreeing with you? Ok.
