Hmmm… Actually I don’t. Could you elaborate on that a little please?
I, after a few bad incidents, now record everything as well as squelch 6 and 1. 6 because I think it makes me fly better not worrying about the running kill number. 1 because of the crap about everything else except AH.
It started off as political crap that you couldn’t get someone to shut up about then it turned into a constant barrage of all various types of whining. Whining about numbers, whining about the stupid mustang that wont stay and turn with the zero, whining about being gangbanged, just crap whining.
I love taunting and general poking jabs but in the last few tours that’s not what’s been happening. So I gave up on one and find I enjoy flying more without reading the dribble on the open channel. Do I send
’s and GF’s? Not as much as before and if I do it ends up on a private channel and I never see the response.
Hell half the time I did send GF’s I got a snide remark anyway so I’m not sure that’s worth it either.
Once upon a long time from now when we do get a permanent squelch list I’ll open channel 1 back up. Otherwise I’m content being a mushroom.
