Obviously! You guys let me in and I'm the only member Hub has a chance against in a 1v1.
More seriously...I think there have been many enlightened opinions expressed here, particularly those of Lute who made me see us in a new light. I think it is true that we are as a whole over respresented here on the GD forum, the avatards have much to do with that as well. I also think we tend to get painted with a broad brush, where one member may be a bit more...ummmm...abrasive, than the rest, it is that one member's words that get remembered. But since we are very tight-knit there will not be any public distancing, I speak for no other BK and none speak for me.
I've been paying to play these games for over a decade and with very few exceptions always try to give respect to other paying players. I post in the public forums only rarely, over 75% of my posts in the last 6.5 years are in private forums, and when I do post here (O' club is a little different) I try hard to not cross the lines of decorum. The recent comments by a HTC representative that the BKs are the sole source of all that is wrong with the community did touch a nerve with me though.
The BKs are as diverse a group of guys as you can have. There are members who are barely 20 and others who are nearly 60 years old. We have highly (over) educated members, we have techies, we have mechanics, we have police officers and gun-toting whackos, we have real-life pilots (some are becoming instructors and others compete in aerobatic contests)...no names...we have among the best sticks in the game as well as those who are solidly average. The one thing we all share is that we do not take ourselves or the game too seriously, we are here just to have fun, nothing more nothing less. We really are pretty simple (minded) folk.
