Having almost cleansed the bad-taste outta my mouth from that incident, I stumbled across this thread. Even though it did not seem very funny at the time, some of your comments on this thread gave me some chuckles.
Just to set the record straight, I did not have a computer at the WarBirds Con , but I was asked by the convention organizers if I was into porn and was asked about accessing a porn-site on the convention-floor. I explained to them that I was merely showing a few friends a very nice Romanian girl who just happened to work at a live-audio/video chat-strip site. They all agreed that she was quite beautiful and was much too good for me
. They also seemed rather dissapointed that I was too cheap to shell-out the $5/minute required to have her disrobe. Most of the women who work on this site are not of this calibre, but there are a few lovely young women who are quite pleasent to converse with, in free chat.
For any who are interested, the site is
http://www.camgirlslive.com/whosonnow/livecams.jspAlso, if I happen to ignore any of your voice-comms, or buffer-chat in Aces High, it is probably because I am chatting with one of these lovely creatures while climbing up to a safe altitude of at least 35k
( I keep telling those iEN guys that AH is a superior game because of the alt/tab feature.........and a few other minor things..................but their upper management doesn't have a clue
)
But to be serious, for a moment, I want to say that the WarBirds Con Organizers Committe had a rather serious issue to contend with because they were being threatened with legal action if I was allowed to attend the banquet. They spent a lot of time listening to both sides of this issue and came to the same conclusion that the majority of you have.
I hope to finally put this incident to rest by recently posting the following on the AGW site:

I did not see this thread till today. I'm grateful that most folks, instead of dredging up sleazy images from the darkest recesses of their minds, used their powers of logic and reason to figure out what really happened. Ask yourself why I would go out of my way to take lurid pictures of a girl of average looks when I could have taken many pictures of this type just a few hundred feet away on the beach, ...........or where I live in the Florida Keys.
I sure as hell did not drive 800 miles to the WarBirds Con to take pictures of cute girls.
I happen to live in the Florida Keys, just 3 miles away from hundreds of nude and semi-nude hardbodies. About the only time they are not around is when it is raining or on the few cold days we have down here.
Some of the most damming statements were offered by those who were not a witness to anything. They represent themselves as someone who knows exactly what happened, when in fact, they have no firsthand knowledge to of any of this.
As one of our members put it: "It's all about perception" .
I can only repeat that I was trying to get some pictures of those faces, lined-up in a row, to the right and the left of me. I was sitting right next to this girl and was so close to her, that getting a decent shot of her (even if I had wanted to) was impossible.
The pictures that I deleted in Soul's presence (shot to my left from on top of my knee) were not lined-up correctly, and were not worth saving any way.
The problem, as I see it, was this girl's probable perception that the world revolves around her, and that she is the target of almost every male in her vicinity. It's too bad that enough folks bought into it, to cause a junior-high-school-calibre flap about a non-event.
BTW: several hundred of my pictures can be viewed at:
