This has bothered me for a few days..

Not really sure where this fits in??

It's a response to Robs off topic rant.

Guess you are saying my comment doesn't belong....much like others said your comment, "War is hell" didn't belong in your OP.

Isn't it funny how things go around like that?

To CO of the hell hawks sometimes u have to learn how ignore some of these Ah idiots. Its that simple.

He could have ignored people in game as well and never started a thread about people commenting on his remark being out of place.

Instead he did, then he commented about a remark I made being out of place.

Wheeee.

Gary, i feel your pain about losing a friend in the war.  Fire department im on had a member serve flying Blackhawks. Was shot down a few years back and no one made it. His brother got all effed up from it (only in his early 40's but you could swear hes in his in 90's). its rough.  to all those serving past, present and future.

Robs comment may have been a little off topic, but seems to me he has made the decision not to pop off at the mouth to other players since you dont know what kind of cord you gonna strike.

My fault.  Here's some water for your moral high horse.

Didn't take long for the TROLLING to start...

I'll often comment on a conversation in a thread.  In this case Rob was discussing a player's behavior, grizz was speculating if it was butcher, and I was commenting to rob that I've seen his squadies do what he was describing.

I'm the one who got called out for my comment not fitting in...yet there was no comment on the conversation to begin with.

In a thread by a guy who was telling us about getting called out for a comment, I got called out for a comment by the guy who started the thread about getting called out.   

Just found that funny.

[Rob52240]

Not to beat this into the ground but what you brought up my squaddies doing was the opposite of what I was complaining about.  Apparently my guys were taking bases where people wanted to sit and fight.

The bottom line is this:

You can report chat and you can report voice.  But there are very good reasons that we can't report 'Not listening to me'.

Good post Gary & well put, if the truth was known a lot of the arm chair warriors here, personal "combat experiences" couldn't stand the light of day.

Truly sir, with all due respect, I would love to hear of yours.  This is not a veiled attempt to discredit your post or your honorable service.  If you would be so kind to share your experience I would appreciate it sir  .

[Gary26]

You just dont get it. And you will keep on derailing this thread until I ask dale to lock it. I dont care abour being called out. Its being told I had to experiance somerhing before I was allowed o have an opinion on it. So im sure.your pmpus bellybutton will have another comment so thanks for ignoring my polite and not so polite request.to be respect.ful and drop it or pm me. So keep them coming so the bbs can see how big you are.

Gary, I am glad you are playing here.

This is a great game.  There are many peopleplaying, most of them are quiet and respectful.  There is a very small percentage that are vociferous with their insults.  They make so much noise you might think that they were the majority.  No.  The majority of the poor sportsmanship comes from a minority.

I'm guessing you have a clear view of what is right and what is wrong.  The sociopaths you encounter here do not have that clear view and demonstrate it daily.

If I may offer just one piece of advice.  Ignore them.  Their arguments are untenable and ignoring them will thwart their efforts to get attention.

<S> to all my fellow firefighters and veterans

Gary, any combat vet I've ever talked to in many years of talking to vets, never wore it on his sleeve, or used it as a club to try and shut someone up.

Quite the contrary.  They are generally the most humble and respectful people I've ever known.  I have yet to meet one who would wish you to see combat just so you could understand it better.

I'd suggest whoever it was, probably wasn't a real combat vet.   Bill Mauldin, back in WW2 did a great Willie and Joe cartoon, where some really beat up vets are sitting down, looking dead tired.  Another soldier with his fists clinched, clean shaven and helmet cocked is strutting by.  I'll try and scan it later.

One of the combat guys comments something like this"  "That can't be no combat vet.  He's looking for a fight!"

Sounds like the guy you ran into.
