I used to be addicted flight simulators, considering my long career, flying them.
I started with air warrior in 1996 and flew with a compuserv account until 1998.
From there, via a signed up, warbirds flew warbirds from 1998 to about mid-2000. From there I flew in aces high, from late 2001 still early 2007 (late January).
I was cured of my addiction due to the fact that I was chased out by a very very vocal minority that did not like me and engaged in highly organized campaign of character assassination of me, within the community, as well as badgering and other hateful harassments which caused me to losse my temper and self-control and prompted the management of Aces high to decide in favor of the dollar bill vers what was right. Which in this case was to overreact, and to permanently mute by voice on the game forcing me to leave. I doubt very much that those other bad actors were ever even in trouble. But be that as it may.
I thank those who stuck up for me like Nomde of the 56th and TC of the Dammned, I them for that in spite of the withering criticism they received.
Finally, I thank Aces High, for curing me of my addiction.
