Facts and snapshots without context are two completely different things.  He thinks I'm a spy and Dan is an ass.  Couldn't be more wrong on both counts.  ;)  I kind of feel bad for Rox in a way, but then I realize he should know better.  Maybe it's because he's new and just doesn't see the big picture yet, who knows.  But all of this mission this and spy that is really growing tiresome. 

Worse, all the new players are influenced by this idiotic paranoia and roped into chess-piece fanatacism and fall in lock step with skilless hording and typical lemming behavior.  Some players spy, sure.  But why would a bunch of people who just love to mix it up give a rat's bellybutton about what base you all are going to sneak next?  That's right, we don't.  We just wish you'd do it against other human opponets and not cartoon toolsheds.

As long as there's a fight somewhere to join we're happy.  We don't burst bloodvessels over cartoon pixel real estate that doesn't matter, we come here to hang out with friends some of us have made over 10+ years of this and blow off some steam.  And we'll keep doing it probably long after you've moved onto the next game.

It's not about the map, it's about the people first, then the fun.  Hell, I'd pay the $15 just to log in and chat with a lot of the friends I've made (and met in real life) and wouldn't even need to fly a sortie to have fun.  We're a bunch of like minded guys who come together from a common interest and pay the rediculously low price 50 cents a day to do it.  I mean how lucky are we?  Thanks, Dale.   :rock

Maybe one day Rox will wake up and see the big picture.  Maybe he won't.

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. 
Sorta like ROX hoarded Stang in the first place, for "spying".  Sorta like ROX hoards the arena with his lemmings.  etc.

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...
It's hard not to question ROX' sanity and maturity when he's gone so far off the deep end so consistently for so long, taking pretty much every opportunity to call anyone a spy or whatever else his tourette's-like syndrome twitches him into doing. I think you won't be far from getting rolled into the same carpet of carping if you insist on defending someone who's not just in the wrong, but also not what you pretend he is.

Quote
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. 
No one does, and if they did it's probably for the same reason you "speak up" on behalf of rox.  Does that not compute?
Quote
He (Dan) has made statements as to his specific style of gameplay which ROX has elected to challenge. 
Understatement.
Quote
If ANY one else had made such statements and then had logs posted too question the veracity, it would have been a different response.  Dan and I are friends and I like him and enjoy his concept of fun...but ROX has responded with facts.  The respondents here have chosen to ignore the facts and defend a nice guy by debasing ROX and his character...shame on you all
There's no need to debase ROX, he's done that himself.  Even someone as impartial and friendly as Lusche can't say anything else. And there's no shame at all in calling the village idiot an idiot, when said idiot has gone thru all possible intermediate steps between being politely told he was wrong, and losing all credibility for opposing any refutal by crying wolf (spy/bozo/whatever) the whole way.  
All you have to do is call him on his errors and you instantly and permanently get the BOZO/whatever boilerplate replies.  Look at Lusche.

Quote
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....
Implying that Dan or anyone has done just that?  Maybe you're so off the mark that you'll never see the forest for the trees...  68ROX had this coming for long time..  Even Lusche has said as much, it's like a driving trait of his.

Quote
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 more then you to prove it!!
There's no such thing.  You've got more posts than I do in this stupid thread.  What does that make you?

Quote
Lusche's link is juvenile and an honest reading of ROX's posts leave me wondering why it would be considered funny. 
Fudge.  Lusche's link might be caricaturing, but it's inline with rox's ravings.
Quote
I guess Lusche and his style of game play makes him feel that his glass house can handle the rocks as well...
Completely inaccurate.


So in the end:

  You don't know what you're talking about, but you're willing to base a whole lot of finger pointing and "shame on you"-ing on that absence of basis. Yeah "PERHAPS" this or perhaps that, everyone thought of this and that already and ROX proved em wrong.
This thread is pretty much a repeat of every other thread that rox got called out in, so I'm not gonna repeat what's already been said.. Not gonna risk a ban over it.

That's an easy one. I've known Dan for longer that you have been playing these games. I know what kind of person he is in and out of the game. BTW, ROX didn't "elect to challenge" Dan's game play. He called him a liar and a cheat. That is what I took umbrage to. There are, perhaps, plenty of people that he could accuse of such things and I really wouldn't care.....for me, he simply crossed a line that shouldn't have been crossed. When it comes to shame on people, I have to wonder what your motives are.

So the lies just keeeep on comin'. 

And the 3 had all been in the arena quite some time.

BTW:  No need to say I am "belittling" Dan/CorkyJr....he's doing a marvelous job of that himself.


Anyone who wants a copy of the original SS so you can verify the time it was taken in file properties just let me know and I will gladly email it to you.

Sorta like ROX hoarded Stang in the first place, for "spying".  Sorta like ROX hoards the arena with his lemmings.

so your point here is that hoarding is ok? or just as long as it serves your purpose???? 

etc.It's hard not to question ROX' sanity and maturity when he's gone so far off the deep end so consistently for so long, taking pretty much every opportunity to call anyone a spy or whatever else his tourette's-like syndrome twitches him into doing. I think you won't be far from getting rolled into the same carpet of carping if you insist on defending someone who's not just in the wrong, but also not what you pretend he is.

again you miss the point completely. I am not defending ROX.  I am questioning the maturity of responders like yourself.  Really  "tourette's-like syndrome "?  If he is responding to folks like you i would say he is replying in kind. I guess what I am really trying to do is hold a mirror up to the behavior on the BBS  But specifically this thread...IN THIS THREAD I dont see what ROX has posted that requires these responses

No one does, and if they did it's probably for the same reason you "speak up" on behalf of rox.  Does that not compute?

Again i am not speaking up on behalf of ROX. The same responders were insulting the original poster for his NOE mission. It is a pattern of ungentlemanly conduct that demeans this game and turns what should be a friendly BBS into a pissing match

Understatement.There's no need to debase ROX, he's done that himself.  Even someone as impartial and friendly as Lusche can't say anything else. And there's no shame at all in calling the village idiot an idiot, when said idiot has gone thru all possible intermediate steps between being politely told he was wrong, and losing all credibility for opposing any refutal by crying wolf (spy/bozo/whatever) the whole way.

Once again you continue to reillustrate exactly how not to address someone in civil discourse.  Your very post exemplifies the immaturity that I am calling out.  Really..."idiot"?  But BOzo is insufferable to you? 


All you have to do is call him on his errors and you instantly and permanently get the BOZO/whatever boilerplate replies.  Look at Lusche.

Then try restraining yourself and show some class

Implying that Dan or anyone has done just that?  Maybe you're so off the mark that you'll never see the forest for the trees...

Once again there is no implication...just a statement of fact.  I would agree that it IS sad to see the 80th FG/SAPP demonstrate that they may be less about having fun in the game then becoming a BBS squad.  I don't doubt that Dan is above poor behavior.  In fact I believe he is an honorable guy.  But perhaps those he has chosen or those who have been attracted to his SAPP are frequent posters.  I'm not sherlock holmes... 

68ROX had this coming for long time..  Even Lusche has said as much, it's like a driving trait of his.

So all these insults are really retribution for past sins?  The content of his post then is not really to be addressed?  Im sorry i mistook this thread as an opportunity for discussion.  I wish skuzzy would go ahead and relabel it "Burn the witch at the stake" and i would have stayed off it.

There's no such thing.  You've got more posts than I do in this stupid thread.  What does that make you?

I have around 550 posts in 3 + years.  I guess it would make me someone who chooses carefully what he posts and values quality over quantity


So in the end:  You don't know what you're talking about, but you're willing to base a whole lot of finger pointing and "shame on you"-ing on that absence of basis. Yeah "PERHAPS" this or perhaps that, everyone thought of this and that already and ROX proved em wrong.
This thread is pretty much a repeat of every other thread that rox got called out in, so I'm not gonna repeat what's already been said.. Not gonna risk a ban over it. 

Well I'm glad you now feel comfortable speaking for me and what i know or don't know.  I'll tell you what I know. I know if more vets would act like it, this board would be a more hospitable place.  Feel free to check out the BoPs webpage and read our open bulletin boards (www.bops.us)  You will see guys enjoying posting about the game and having fun with it.  If a jerk joins then we remove their privileges.  Its too bad the main BBS for this game deteriorates into name-calling and character assassination all the time

BTW did you see how i responded to you without calling you names or questioning your character in your real life???

Have you not been reading what he is writing?  After repeated attempts to back off the schoolyard name calling, his continued poo slinging? 

I think you should really take the time to read through the whole thread.  It goes from funny button pushing on all sides to downright stupidity and paranoia.  This guy really sees Dan as a threat or something.  He's screenshoting him like he's some kind of P.I. trying to break some conspiracy case.  It's just lunacy.

You keep bringing up your 20-30 good and trusted friends.  You'd stand up for them if their quality of character were called out and you knew that it was horse rubbish right?  So think it through a bit.

Saw this quote in a wartime publication by the 5th AF Fighter Command for it's new pilots.

A quote from Allen Hill an 80th FS ace stood out to me.  For Aces High, just insert "cartoon" on front of the word Combat :aok

"You will have fun flying combat, and when it ceases to be fun or hold a thrill for you, look up your flight surgeon, because you are no longer a combat pilot."

Anyone seen the flight surgeon?  I think we need one here :)
