The only difference is: They don't play this game. ;)

We know who plays this game. Probably 95% are Americans. And most of us are proud of who we are.

Your point is well taken and most of us agree. Next time leave out the tribal references.

He never said that the 'typical' American was a squeaker... he's complaining about those who bring domestic issues to country channel.

You shouldn't try so hard to be insulted...

Man if that was the only thing we had to deal with in the buffer, the squeaking wouldn't be annoying.

I agree with Lusche.

Next time I fly online (which i hope is soon), I hope there is a 'permasquelch' feature on the client side of the game where I can maintain an infinite list of permanently squelched IDs.

Sometimes I wish I could just make the radio buffer disappear completely.

Here is an idea....don't read it.

Like ranting about the ranting solved anything, accept maybe you feel better, Lusche.

why dont HTC just give us the ability to detune from the country channel altogether? the only two channels I want to be able to see in the text buffer is my squad channel and vox channel

I'm not interested in seeing the country text buffer filling up with topics like
obama is a communist
islam sucks
nuke iran
healthcare is evil

Agreed, keep the political garbage out of AH!

Not only is he going to say what Luche was thinking. He's also going to tell me what I was thinking.

I like the idea of being able to hide the chat screen altogether, perhaps shift + ` could do it.

its not just kids, my 11 yearold plays and talks about aces high never politics or other meaningless stuff. but he has had to listen to so-called grown men whine and cuss at him for killing them. from death threats to rude remarks about his mother and worst. lusche is right should be able to permanently squelch someone from all channels forever. the same person who lost vox for long time for death threats made same again. of course said person is using a new name.
