Which one?  Brady's?   Gotta love the spelling.

eddiek.  That was a sane, informative, comprehensive answer to TheBug's original question.  
Maybe if that had been tried at the top, this wouldn't have degenerated into a namecalling fest.

Then again, maybe it would have anyway.

I post when I am able to, but lately with my job I am gone from home more than I like, and the hospital system does not allow me to access the AH BBS, so...........
Sometimes I don't get to read things that are written until a day or two (or more) later.
I can understand players's frustrations, as I am a player first and foremost and probably feel the same things they do.  But, after 3 years plus in this game, I've moved from making really impassioned posts and remarks to just reading and thinking a while before I respond to things I see in the arenas and in the game in general.  
Many ideas that are expressed have merit, but their delivery falls way short.  I am as guilty of that as the next person; over time, I have tried to learn more effective ways to get my ideas across.  
To each his own, but I hope some guys rethink their posts and how their ideas are expressed BEFORE they hit that little "SUBMIT REPLY" or "SUBMIT POST" button.

Just my two cents...........:aok

Change is a good thing.





Please worship Shane on your own thread, thank you.  How pathetic. :p

No level of frustration justifies attacking one of the guys volunteering his time in an attempt to bring some fun to the rest of yas.

There are many other things you can do if you don’t like a set up. Don’t fly it, make your own and sell it to a ct cm. You can even call ht and ask that the ct cms be rotated quarterly so some new blood gets a chance at running a few setups. You can ask Skuzzy to add 1 or 2 more CMs.

But simply whining complaining will get you nothing. Nothing is stopping any of you from building a map, or a plane set with historical skins and selling it to any 1 of the 4 active CMs. Nothing is stopping any of you from picking up the phone and calling HT and suggesting that the CT CMs be on a fixed rotation.

Demanding that others adjust what they are doing to suit you and your idea of fun is nothing more then whining. The CMs don’t need to be in the arena to hold your hand and they don’t need to justify anything they do to you.

As I pointed out in another thread, there are those who take it on themselves to get things done and there are those who complain about it. Its obvious to everyone who is who.

That seems to be a sentiment easy to afford when you are commenting from the sidelines?

As I recall you and some others had a few choice posts on the CAP BB before you quit events completely, being "allied biased" and all...

Spare us the holier-than-thou.  You piped up and complained as fast as anybody else in AH about setups YOU didnt like, and any # of other issues as well that concerned you when you actually played the game. I didnt see you practicing your new found etiquette then.

Doesn't IL-2 have a BB?
