There's enough of this crap in reality. Please do not include it in "virtuality".

Well, the last I noticed, two way radios still have an off switch... Would be nice to have one on the radios in game...
Or, at least full frequency control, so we could eliminate this problem if we wish.. This isn't saying that I would turn
the radio off permanently, as that would be unadvisable, and counterproductive to success in the game... But, I hardly
play online anymore because of the BS that I read on the text buffer, or on voice... Just isn't worth reading or listening
to the schoolboy crap, of any kind, anymore.. Last time I played online was three weeks ago, about a 1/2 hour... Before
that was another 3 weeks or so... Got on, landed 2 kills, some fathead immediately starts with the poop talk, Logged off!!!
Happens every time!!!  So, I just don't go online anymore... Problem solved!!!

Hoping it will change at some point, but I doubt it!!!!  It is NOT a good thing for the game...

Looks like I missed all the fun.  Last I remember, we were trying to explain to you what an English Muffin is  :D

Really though...  How DO you explain that?!  :confused:

Just the opposite of explaining what a "cheeky monkey" is, I imagine.

I missed that one.

Poop Talk?

Hilarious... somebody in the AHII community hasn't gotten past the "dookie" stage. That's saying something because it seems like it's kind of an older community.

So, what were they typing? Was it dookie-fixated stuff or just a lot of profanity?

Missed it too, thankfully I think.

I think I can paraphrase George C Scott here, from "Patton" - "America and the English, two nations separated by a common language."  :lol

All this dead horse beating considered, I think we all ought to start playing an active part in cleaning up the problem instead of complaining on the BBS like we have - I for one plan to .report .report .report next time I see anything political or religeous on country or 200. As much as I hate to be the one crying to the teacher 'cause Little Johnny made a face at me, the reality is - as a community - we're going to have to be largely self-policed, and that won't happen if the things that are disagreeable aren't brought to the attention of the powers-that-be.

Who's with me in being proactive for the benefit of us all?

Indeed. I was out doing some MA hunting only to run across one of those self-appointed traffic cops and his crayon playbook.

I always take the Sontaran approach to them: "the only person I call sir is my Squadron Leader". I probably should've had a little "fragging incident" but instead I just went on my way.

That reminds me, I was chasing a P-51 the other day in my G-14. Of course, he was running me a bit but there were other friendlies about causing him to have to maneuver and bleed speed. I thought I was about to get the kill when he blew apart as the result of a HO from a rapidly approaching friendly. I was not hit by his fire, though the tracers sure were pretty.
