Geesh man.
Because of a language barrier, it is possible for there to be some communications glitches.
So, the guy tries to eliminate them. By explaining in more detail what he means.
And what happens? "Keep 500 words or less"!
Who are we to tell him not to clarify things that were *obviously* either intentionally or unintentionally misunderstood?
As far as who he is; a paying customer. Just like all you other important people. And, to a lesser extent, me.
RAM has gone off the long end a few times, but with things like HO's and whatnot, is it to be taken seriously? Hell, I've made a few pissed off posts about that, after being killed, immediately logging in here and posting.
This time around, RAM hasn't even been offensive. He hasn't called anyone any names. He's taken time to clarify his position, and he has dared to go against the main stream, knowing that there are others who feel in a similar manner about the "you whiner" crowd. I've had a few of those approach me as well.
What is also blatantly apparent is the cultural differences in action. Americans approach a matter and a behaviour one way, Spaniards another, Danes yet a third. All sides are probably gulty of a bit of close mindedness regarding the other side. For all the American bashing I've done, I try to manage to see the other sides point, or, if this fails, see where he is coming from and why he makes a claim or puts an issue in a certain way.
As a teenager, I grew up hanging around an Argentinian friend, and later on, his Latin comrades. How can I say this, they have a rather different approach to matters than the average Dane and (generalising wildly) tend to be a bit more passionate (for better or worse). I can appreciate why RAm is putting hings the way he is.
Americans OTOH, still puzzle me. Sometimes I think I'm fascinated with them because of it. I think I got them all figured out, and then something very odd happens and I'm left scratching my head. I think it's very cool
Like this. A clarification, rather coldly (for a Spaniard
), after some (intentionally) and others (unintentionally) misread an original message. Then a lot of flames for this. There is a reason, probably the ram fatigue you are talking about, but I am not quite getting it. There exists a possibility that the cultural differences have manifested themselves in such a way that this result was inevitable - each side not budging or trying real hard to see where the other is coming from. Not only addressing the points raised, but also where they come from and why they're put in a certain way. All the baggage in other words.
This is more than 500 words. I am outta school, and I ain't limiting my posts to any limit set by anyone but myself.
New fm - 109 is hard to kill in for me. Some idiocyncracies, which might or might not get fixed. I hated it early on for several reasons, some of which (like rudder slip speed decrease == 0) I share with ram. Two times have I had cons very close to my 6 but been unable to produce an overshot, with them settling in d230 or so after a minute, and eventually after some struggling getting the kill. But, nevermind, I'll learn.
Still not comfortable with it, and still flying the 190A8, but in a quite different way (which is interesting, because there's not many ways you can fly it
).
There's been some great fights, and once the inconsistencies are rooted out and I learn what can and cannot be done, I'm sure I'll like it.
Long post, but no one forced ya to read it
