I guess you are directing this at me as well, since I called Wotan on the shades account, and I really just don't like the way he disrespects a certain group of people, some of whom happen to be friends of mine. I find you to be incredibly amusing, sad, but amusing. That fact that you are "offended" (cry me a river) doesn't bother me at all. I spoke my mind. Go sit wherever it is you are (that you are so proud of that you don't tell anyone about it) and whimper about being offended.
Then someone mentions that he didn't like the show because it only showed American pilots.... and then suddenly all hell breaks loose. Accusations of disrespectfulness, unpatriotic behavior, unthankfulness, using shade accounts, begin to fly from those few people. And then those guys suddenly start personal attacks and name-calling to any who might show differing opinions in this matter. Totally uncalled for. If anything might get people banned or moderated in a BBS thread for bad conduct, I'm seeing such stuff in here.

He said the show sucked, and used "Ami", Wotan's pet term of disrespect and disdain for U.S. pilots. I called him on it, if you don't like that, well, that's just too bad. It most likely IS Wotan in a shades account, acts like him, posts like him, uses his favorite terms and attitude, and the same location. By the way, I see you still didn't answer the question about YOUR location. Figures. If you have to use a shades account, or you can't post your location, I guess you must have "issues".
So how would you expect anyone to "discuss" anything in this kind of blatant hostility? Just because someone didn't like a show, or others thought it emphasized too much stuff on only one country?
I wouldn't know. Do you?
Wotan, or his minime, started the hostility. He implies there were no great air battles shown because there were no "Amis" (theres his favorite term of disdain and disrespect again) in any great air battles, and said the show sucked because it showed only "Amis". Evidently he didn't even SEE the whole thing because there were others besides the "Amis" shown and mentioned. I really find his use of the term and his manner to be very annoying, since I know some of those "Ami" pilots personally, they are my friends. I don't take kindly to his attitude towards my friends. If you don't like that, well that's just too damned bad. If you don't like me calling him on that, well that's just too damned bad too. If you want to cry about hostility, start with the clown who started it. All I did was call him on it. While you're at it, grow a pair and tell us all where you're from. Unless, of course, you're too ashamed to tell the truth.
