I think in his current state (we had a talk with his doc) he could not possibly get UP-set for days.  Fire up

I knew it! I've never seen Hub post so many and lenghty posts. Obviously Hub has been forced into sobriety in a 12 step program. I guess we'll have to endure it until he has his inevitable relapse. I have to admit to viewing this with a bit of skepticism. We have been duped before. In the event you are serious, I will respond. I have seen several posts by some BK's that came off arrogant and somewhat condesending. I've flown with and against several and never had any problems in game.

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.

Ok  I have held off posting about this in fear of another MOAT, but here goes.

When I wanted some private training I wanted to learn from Nomak.
At that particular time he was on a break from ah . I also learned that Levi/Todd might have his email. I gave a PM to levi and got a fast  reply that he would pass on my request. I got my training and all was good.
During a few of my training sessions a couple of BK's would find us and up.
Being only familiar with them through the BBS i was a bit concerned. Would my training be turned into just a beatdown session. Well with them around I got even more input and not one put down.  
That's rite no bravado, no chest thumping  just good input on what i was doing wrong or rite. I have yet to fly with or against all of you. But if you are all about the same as the guys I met in the da   to all Keep doing what you do.

Hub,

I usually don't post much and most of the text on channel 200 I usually ignore for the most part.  I meet all kinds in the MA and I can't say that the BKs are any different than any other squads when it pertains to having a member here and there who may be frustrated or just disrespectful or maybe too sarcastic for others.  People take things too seriously.     I would say if anything has created ill-feelings towards the BKs as a whole would be the Forums.  Don't get me wrong here though.  There are plenty of other people who post on the forums who are no different.  My observation would be that in the past, those without thick-skins are bothered by some of the sarcasm and somewhat disrespectful responses made by some of the BKs in the forums.  Again, those incidents are not isolated to the BKs.  Personally, I think ya got some good sticks in the BKs and I enjoy flying with you and against you.

Look at you like you know us. I haven't a clue who you are. How long have you been flying for? I haven't seen you, either brano wtf ever it is, or your other name in game ever in the almost 5 years I've played AH. To me youre just some chump with a load mouth thinking someone gives a watermelon about his two cents.

[Bear76]

Damn Morp, for not caring what others think you're getting a bit worked up:p LOL I never heard of him either though:huh

Hubsonfire asked.  He didn't confine his question to anyone in particular.  I took his question at face value and I responded with concrete examples of why and how I got a bad opinion of BKs in general, fairly or unfairly.  

You asked if Brauno was a shades account.  I responded to your question.

If you think I responded with a "loaded mouth", that is your opinion.

I speak for myself when I say, I dont care what you think about me.

Just live by your own words and move on.

^^^That qualifies as responding with a loaded mouth.  And is far more tame than what some of you have done in the past.

Yes.

So if you guys aren't trolling and really want to know....

Why do you 'attack' people when they are doing nothing to you-not even talking to you?

Jeff, do you still feel the need to murder certain types of people?

Todd can't take a fried hint with marinara?

Messing with people who aren't bantering back reminds me of junior and highschool..... that's the attitude some of you guys remind me of when you act as such.

Others of you have the maturity to act with decency and respect, and banter when banter is returned.



Ouch .. where'd that hook come from.....?
