Oh, I don't even bother.. most of them have decided, like you apparently, that it is to hard.. they'd rather not try at all. Hey, a kill is a kill, right? Its my 15 bucks, right?
Besides which, most of em, like Waffle there, gets real bent out of shape if you have anything to say after he runs 75 miles to ack and friends before deciding to "fight", unless it is "Man, outSTANDing kill Waffle! Never seen better flying, ever! It was pure poetry!"
Calling a ***** a ***** is apparently verboten. Guess everyone's bought into the "Oh, you can't say anything NEGATIVE, you big meanie! You might hurt their poor widdle self esteem! " Of course... if the ******* had any to begin with they put a little effort into it.
Actually... the only time I remember "fighting" waffle (and I might have him mixed up with another newb) is him trying to vulch some folks that were landing, seeing me in a 262 also, and then running 75 miles to a friendly base. He did finally turn around after he made it to the field ack and a few buddies upped to help him. After I got shot down he gloated on 200 about "beating me at my own game".. apparently my game has become running like a ***** to my ack and begging for help to anyone that'll listen.
That is the only one that stands out, and I like I said earlier... I might have him mixed up with some other big mouth, low/no skill newb. Apparently me calling him a ***** really rankled though, since he is still trying to prove something.
