I don't know ROX at all but I have got to point out that PERHAPs his responses are the result of being "hoarded" in here by guys who seem to use the SAPP logo as sig material. Its a little hard to have a "civil" discussion when most of the responses seem to be directed at questioning his sanity and his maturity. Honestly I have come to reconsider my opinion of some of the respondents and their maturity level...
Fair enough, but my point remains... Speaking only for myself I've been throwing him a rope and trying to provide the civil discussion that he wants, only to have it ignored... Hence my channel 200 parallel.
Also last time I checked Dan is an adult and can defend himself most adequately...it is unclear to me why so many feel they need to speak on his behalf.
I suppose ROX could request his squadmates log on and start spamming this bbs as seems to be occurring here...but I actually respect the fact he hasn't chosen to do so....
I could be wrong, but my take on this is that the fact that so many stick up for Dan and so few stick up for Rox says a whole lot about both, and has nothing to do about squaddies sticking up for squaddies just because.
Not to insult Rox, but I don't know who on earth he is. I just came back from a long sabbatical and don't remember him. Maybe I should? If so, my bad. Can't remember them all. But I have known Dan for a few years, I consider him a friend, and a great guy in the community, and I do know that he's not the sort of guy who deserves all this grief.
(Course, in fairness, I'm being a numpty here, because I also know darn well the community at large knows this too, so no defense of him is even necessary, but hey.)
The only opinion I have about Rox comes from this thread... I'm not going to hold it against him down the road but I am a little taken back at what he's said in here about some people I've always found friendly, helpful, and respectful.
Again there may be facts that I am missing but what i have observed on the boards recently is a resurrection of the the "BBS Elite" who know everything about everyone and how we must all have fun. And they can post to prove it!!
This thread is kind of ironic in that the "BBS Elite" aren't the ones trying to control how another plays the game... Guess peoples are peoples after all.
