Ohh puhhleeeaasseee. Don't act like the majority of players in p51Ds and 190Ds dont run when they lose advantage, including you and your FPH. I actually had many great fights with Rocky, seeing as he didn't spend a lot of time in the DA learning how to duel. It's a shame he no longer plays, along with many others.
I for one, think people need to be tougher and meaner to online bullies who PM mean things you or call you names. The online world is very mean and you have to stand up for yourselves and be mean back to them. They are just like bullies in real life. That is something AH taught me very well in my early years of online gaming. Banning speech is never the solution. Smack talking back to them and putting them back in their place is how to solve it. It's a war game for crying out loud. This isn't chess. Get meaner and stop letting people tear you down over online messaging.
There's a difference between bugging out when you start to get in over your head (or are getting ganged/picked) and just making one [supersonic] pass and hauling as*. The latter was all Rocky knew how to do. He was an EASY kill when I could catch him. I once killed him in a dead run (when he had advantage to start) and pinged his airplane apart over about fifteen minutes, one piece at a time. Weak.
And FWIW, my FPH can, did, and does whip you any day of the week, any time of year, in whatever ride you choose. I once put you forward as my champion on a lark and you got wrecked. (Standing by for the list of excuses.) I've also taken you on 1 v 1 in Dueling and given you all you can manage, so I am no slouch, and you know it.
I agree that people need thicker skin, but we can all do with a dose of the chill pill before we type on 200 sometimes. Myself included.
