Sorry Udie. After asking what the deal in the SEA was, Ripsnort kindly replied "no icons, Knight=allied, Bish=LW". Thanks, btw Rip, sometimes ya have to wait ages for somebody to simply respond.
So... I took an F4 up. Allied, right? Well, it was a mistake. Next thing I know, I'm gettin' screamed at in caps by you udie. I finally make out that you were talkin' about my plane type. It was just then that I learned that this was ETO historical, therefore no F4. I said something to the effect of "oops, didn't know that, I'll replane... but ya gotta kill me 1st
". Still comin' over the text buffer was you saying "YOU DON'T NEED TO BE RUDE, DUDE". I should apologize... the "ya gotta kill me first" was just a joke, I was already inna nose-dive to auger and replane.
So I'm standin' in the tower now, and yer still going on about loss of respect for me etc. etc.
I'm strictly a play-by-the rules kinda guy. I wasn't in there trying to wreak havok in my F4. I'm not sure I deserved that kinda berating by you, but it was clearly my mistake. Kinda lost my taste for flying for a few hours, but I'll get over it - I'm not used to causing that kinda reaction by people. I just wanted to let you know that it was definately not intentional, and if I return to the SEA I will wait for any and all the details (if it means I wait in the tower for an hr) before coming up in the wrong plane.
