Fat Americans cause plane crash

[Curval]

SOB - why are you being so obtuse?

Lazs asked me why I thought Beet1e's thread was directed at him.

I answered with the question you think is "stupid" because within 4 minutes of the original post he had responded...not to the subject matter, but by jabbing back.

This demonstrates (to me at least) that he felt it was indeed directed at him and felt the need to respond in "kind".

I defined it as a Pig Pile because of these remarks earlier in the thread:

All aboard.

All aboard the "pig pile".

Comprende?

[SOB]

Obtuse?  You asked a simple, one-sentence question.  Why did he respond 4 minutes after Beet1e posted.  Stupid question, stupid answer.

As far as to his remarks about Dago, if you read Lazs' previous post, I think he was referring to Dago as joining in with you and blue as folks in this thread who seem to be offended.  Not folks who are hell bent on making you feel bad.

[Dago]

Geez, paranoia is getting common.

Curval, I wasnt joining in an attack on you, I was joining in this thread.  Its not about you.

Gee Cerceuilvolant you find the deaths of 21 innocent people worthy of your thumbs up?

Personally I try not to make a habit of making light of deaths of others.   Must  be something you French and the British like beetle have in common.

Very good point Mini D, challenge curval to actually pay attention to beetles threads and posts, see if he has the objectivity to see the truth.

Dago, in this post it certainly WAS about me and you and MiniD were both proven wrong, as already shown.

SOB, I'm not going to argue over this stupid question issue and pig pile thing anymore.  It is just silly.  We both know Beet1e aimed this thread directly at lazs and certain others, they've been doing it to each other in countless threads for a long time.

You don't seem willing to admit that, so let's just agree to disagree.

I'm not upset in the slightest and don't feel bad at all , don't worry.  I just had a great meal at my parents place, the kids are asleep and I might even get lucky tonight after a bit of flying.

But, his post prompted Creamo and Jigsaw to research the issue...

Research? Na. I've got tons of GA stuff bookmarked, including a dozen or so NTSB reports.

This is the one I check most often.

I'd bet in the end they're going to write it off as "pilot error" since it's easy to place blame one someone that can't comment, but I still keep my fingers crossed.

Ummm, OK, there's just one small problem though.  I never said I agreed or disagreed with your position.  You simply assumed that and jumped on me for responding in kind to your stupid question.  You were so wrapped up in your agenda that you assigned this opinion to me.

And you're right, the pig pile thing is silly.  You used the term like a 12-year-old would use the term "picked on".  No one was pig piling you or picking on you.  There were simply others who disagreed with your opinion.

Fair enough jigsaw.

What is for sure is that it was a near certainty from the moment I read that article that it wasn't fat Americans that caused that crash.

By the way though...if you are privy to alot of that information can you confirm that a few years ago a  charter plane had difficulty taking off and then reaching it's intended altitude as the result of coin collections being carried on board the aircraft as hand luggage rather than being stowed in the hold due to the value of the coins and the reluctance of passengers to "check them"?

The added weight was potentially a problem due to it not being factored in on the loading?

I read about it in an article and have a bet with someone about it, but cannot recall when, what airline etc.

I think I've asked about this before on these boards but cannot remember what the outcome was and the issue was brought up again recently bewteen me and the other bettor.

Actually SOB you are right.  But, if you were being honest you would probably admit that you started to call my question "stupid" and making a point about it after I made that remark about you trying to get into Mini's drawers, which was probably uncallled for...as we are not on Check 6 right now.  

I still disagree that it was a stupid question.  Hell, it was more rhetorical than anything else.  I knew the answer as did you probably....and I'm not talking about the fact that lazs replied to the post 4 minutes after reading it.

lazs knew that post was directed at him and a few others and that it was a troll.  Agree/disagree?  Let's have it.

Kinda like you and me, eh?

(not a hyjack, just an aside. I mean, this is an important thread and should be kept on track. Vital. But, while I have Creamo's attention... The rest of ya, ignore it...)

Creamo... it has always bugged me but I haven't yet found an appropriate way to say it. In one of my olden threads... (a doozy), you apologized to me for something you said. I was in no shape to tell you it at the time, but you were bang on. There was nothing to apologize about.

I suspect it was due to my posting a picture of me giving you the finger. That picture was not a response to your post, it was a joke. Because the first time I ever saw a picture of anyone here, it was you giving (I think) Mason the finger, taken with one of those web cam things. I thought you'd get it.... but admittedly it was way vague.

Now, it's none of my business what ya think about me, and this post aint about that. But for some damned reason I needed to tell you this.
