Mandie,
Please please just take a break and think it over. You leaving will be ours and HTC's loss for sure !! Of that I am 200% positive.
As mentioned, you need somewhat of a think skin in here and be able to shrug things off or as a last resort squelch the 500% total lamers who do or did make you feel this way.
A great attitude like yours is hard to come by and brightened every second of our flying time that you were online.
I know you recently joined our squad, The SPECIALISTS, and I hope your time with us was good. I think it was from my correspndence with you via e-mail.
Forget those fools!!!
From the responses, I'm sure you can tell for every 'character' who didn't give you respect, there were at least a dozen or more who did. Maybe some of them silently, but they were willing to stand with you when the times got tough.
As for the learning curve, we didn't have to much time to get into that but you have to remember that AH isn't as easy as checkers and probably tougher than chess. You have to take little steps and gradually things will get better, that I can guarentee.

Stay happy and posistive and don't let the 'badies' get you down.
They show how foolish they are and you can show how strong you are.

Your CO and friend,
fuzeman

[ I'll even promise not to put you on KP duty for a whole year!!
And I mean next year, not just this one :)  ]
Far too many, if not most, people on this Board post just to say something opposed to posting when they have something to say.

Dearest Mandie...
I am truely disheartened to hear that you are leaving us here in AH. I have had the privledge of having you as a member of my squad, and the honor of having you as a friend. You are a gentile heart and spirit and you will go far. This community will be the less with your absence. I speak for us all in the community when I offer you my most sincere apology for the treatment that you have endured at the hands of these indifferent, immature, and base quality individuals. No one deserves the indignity of being on the receiving end of such nonsence and degradation. I am ashamed of those who perpatrated these attacks against you, but aswell, I am ashamed that we, who are the decent and rule abiding, will sit idly by while one of our own is treated brutaly by the pedantic ravings of some testosterone driven pervert who has no sence of propriety and even less of a sence of basic morality. Shame on them, Shame on us.
I hope that you feel that you may someday return to AH. I understand your reluctance to continue, but do know this; good or bad, you made an impression. This is not such an easy task in a community filled the best of the best and the worst of the worst. You will always have a home with the fellas in the 106th Airgroup, where you can go and feel protected.
Good luck to you in all of your present and future endevours. Hope to see you back in the sky soon. until then,
 
Chris (CHENAULT) Chernault

I can't agree with you more MWhun.  Don't let little boys have the satisfaction.

Don't leave Mandie, don't let idiots get their will. I've talked to you and flown some with you and it would be a shame to loose you, specially for something like this.

Please stay, and in the future, report every little idiot that says something stupid even if he says it is just a joke, no room for such behaviors in AH.

i feel bad when someone decides to leave for a reason that has basis...

not some whine about gangbanging or FM or some other chit.

<> mandie and best of whishes to you.





this part is NOT directed @ anyone specific but....

when life gives you a hard time sometimes you have to face it down ... God knows i haven't done this well myself but I just hope that by saying this people might stand up and not let the world kick them down.




on another note more light...
it would be interesting to see the testosterone struggle in the MA through a woman's eyes. i bet it's downright laughable in a sad pathetic way.

oh well my 2¢


<<>> again Mandie and all other Women of AH... keep up the good fight!
I don't know what to put here yet.

Thick Skin is one thing being Harassed incessantly to the point of making AH so unpleasent is ridiculous.

Sorry to hear that this is the case.

Mandie

I hope this doesnt taint your feelings toward online flight games.

Ouch.  What was said to you was abhorant and dreadful.  This is supposed to be a fun pastime.

There are a few things that I have seen come from the AH community that have been truely disappointing.  This is one of them.  I'm sorry that you were put through that.

Mandie,
If you would like to take a break from the MA come to H2H look for sites like JBA...or Zapkin...Shuffler...Bwidow... We run good rooms with none of the garbage going on.

I know its not the 300+ ppl rooms but with fewer people there is no were to hide. If someone was that rude on the H2H side he would never get into a room again, we are a tight group.

The reason I suggested ID change and low profile on VOX is because I have seen this problem with regards to female players in the past on other online games.  Matter of fact I have already met a "female" player here in AH that does this exactly so that she is not bothered by the little "jerks" that can occupy a playing environment.

Just a suggestion for her to keep flying without having all the hassle.  You are right it's crappy, she SHOULD NOT have to do this, yet you see the consequences Mandie had to go through...:(

Sorry to hear you've decided to throw in the towel, Mandie :(
When you're ready to get airborne again, come Knights and look for any of The Damned. We'd be honored to take you under our "wing" and show you the ropes. I'll wing with you anytime.

It's a shame a few neanderthals hurt you in such a crude & callous manner.

Happy holidays...

One of the coolest squads in AW was one called Ladies of Doom.  Some of the best toejam talkers were in that squad and some good pilots too.
