Wha? Rude? No "WOTW" award?

The winner this week is clear, no? (No, this isn't a whine about not having a "Whine of the week" award, just curious as to why we don't have it?)

You thought it was? I thought that given the huge amount of whining this week (and some of it my very own :) ) that it would take months to count the ballots. We might have to call the supreme court in on this one.

Some folks are born on third base and then go through life thinking they hit a triple.

Truthfully, I was so taken back by the sheer number of whines and how stupid they were this past week, that I decided the whining had recieved enough attention as it was....I don't want to add fuel to the fire. Then I thought....these are not even whines, but rather foolishness.

Really, ask yourself. At what time have you ever seen such long drawn out threads full of complaining, I don't like spits...the new terrain sucks....the niki is uber....the numbers in the arena are unfair...etc. It made me tired just reading that tripe.

A sad week for our community....I can just see new players thinking, what have I just stumbled into here and what is wrong with some of these guys?

Oh well, it's not the way it is, it's just the way it goes on the BBS.

Cyas Up!

What do you think new guys think about your WoW posts? I'm quite sure some of them find them hilarious while others might see them offensive and insulting.
I don't care if you keep posting them but please; jump down from that high horse...

Toad:  Hey I resemble that remark sir ;).  Kind of a brainy insult - sort of like..

I don't know half of you half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.

Pretty much a case of same sh*t, different sim. Been that way in every flight sim or online game I've ever played. Tho I must say the new pizza terrain is um {diplomat} not entirely to my liking {/diplomat}

High horse? Hardly.

As to the WoW, the tone of WoW is much different than the threads I've referred to. It is never my intent to berate...if I had jumped into this weeks offerings, it would have served no purpose other than to bring attention to persons and subject matter which had already been overdone.

Whines are notable when they stand on their own, not when they grow two heads and crap on your desktop:)
