Well, we were flying tonight in the MA, and as the time of the month rolls around, we started the monthly "Hillary 08" and "no guns" troll.  

I was told by many in the MA that I was "unAmerican" and even had several PM death threats.  Normally I laugh those off, as in reality, any one making a death threat over an ingame PM system really is sad, and more than likely lives in a trailer in pow-dunk no where with out the access to funds to be able to fly to Colorado Springs to kill me.  Either way, we still contiuned with the troll and witnessed a lot of cussing, just because I was expressing support for Hillary in '08.  We also played the age old troll of "stop the illegal war".  After being called an "UnAmerican" several times, it got me to thinking... what is an "UnAmerican"?  Is it someone that does not agree with your beliefs?  Are people that blind now-a-days that they feel anyone that speaks differently from them is "UnAmerican"?  In truth, I really no longer no where I stand on the war in Iraq, or Bush as a president....  I often wonder whether we have dug such a whole in this country morally that anything we do in the future is going to be mure and mostly wrong.  Apparently the society of close minded, throat hooked idiots in the MA think so.  I was chat suspended because of these individuals, even though several oof them used explicit profanity towards my views in the troll...

So I ask this, "What is"UnAmerican" and why is it if you offer up an opposing view to a majority that you get labeled that way...?

(btw "trailer trash death threat man", I work pretty much every day at COS with the only hangars that have black and white checkerboard roofs  ( there are three linked together), if you can actually read, come to the hangars and ask for Derek.  It is on the NW west side of the airport.  You can't miss it off Powers.)

You are.  Stop whining...

the troll was funny the responders sheer idiots.  yet another example of a good feature being abused. [/QUOTE]

     The   mass gang banging squelch feature needs to be taken outa the reach of chickenchit, DMFing squids that squelched and sent "Death Threats "to Bodhi.... and others in the past....
 IMO it should only  be available to the appointed Mods, giving some creditability to that   trigger  feature being used.......
 as it is now , it gets abused .... It's a no win deal for HTC crew either , they try to setup good features and along comes spinless DMF's and screw it up through abuse ..... So along comes Monday morning and HTC crew comes to work,  and has to waste time dealing  with watermelon like this,  instead of  constructive work and improvements on AcesHigh  ....

   CHECKERS....

Well said FiLTH!  Can I get some pointers on the 40-E sometime?

  Poor choice in sides, IMO.

Now really MDud, did the person squelching your troll buddy tell you that was why he was squelched, or are you working on hear-say?  If it is Hear-say, then shame on you... but if it was just because the other party didn't care for the bait bohdi used, then shame on the squelcher.

hearsay but i still got his back

I dont think I'd agree,
  Once Bodhi called anyone who disagreed with him "Close minded A**holes on CH200 I found it quite nice after I reported him and he was banned the next day. Great feature HTC keep up the great work.

Well seeings that that statement was an outright lie as I did not use profanity in anyway during that entire time.  Unlike 90% of the idiots that swallowed that hook, line and sinker.

It's ironic in that all I did was make some statements that a few close minded imbeciles could not agree with.  They threw a tirade and cussed and all.  I never reported any of them.  I just ignored the ones that were amateur retort hacks, and cleanly blasted the ones that thought they could retort and exposed them for their own close minded biased selves.

he didn't call anyone an Ahole when I was on and he logged off before I did.

One could say that labeling as unAmerican is itself an unAmerican thing to do.

Except for the British, being British isn't very American.  

Can we try to keep the contentious issues to the O'Club and out of the game itself?  There's a point were we all just have to shut up and play.  Please don't try to bait people into arguments in game.

[Bodhi]

69Hawk, while I agree on part of that, I only started my troll after someone else was on a tirade about how great Bush was.  Sure, tit for tat, but it was funny at the time and I still laugh at it.  Like I have said before though, abuse of the "report chat" feature was all that caused my muting.  If everyone involved had the gall to stand by the right thing, this would not have been an issue.  Squelch is the option for those that do not want thear what someone else sayd.

Bodhi, I'll often join you in hooking as many as possible.
