Last night, someone told lazs that everyone in AH hated him. I didn't see it nor do I know what prompted the comment. The only way I knew it was said was from lazs. He said it matter of factly and then said nothing else for a long time. Well, maybe 20 or 30 seconds, but that's a long time for lazs, hehe.
I didn't say anything as I was busy at the time. Except for MRWULF!!! you !@#$, I was having a good night doing the low alt drag & bag stuff with lazs.
As I said, I was busy & quite frankly forgot about the whole thing until I revisited Udie's post today about the loss of his friend. Something struck me when reading the additional posts in that thread, it was lazs tone of voice when he told me what was said to him. I replayed the short conversation over in my head and wished I had said something. I started reflecting on the Sept. 11 tragedy and the loss of my father in Sept. Guess this is the mushy side of me.
I didn't say anything then but I am now. I know I'm going to catch a load of toejam from lazs about this but being a crusty old cop for 15 years and the son of a 20 year navy vet, I can handle it.
No, not everyone in AH hates lazs. I call him friend. He is a unique individual. A highly aggressive competitor but I can't recall how many times I've screamed for help & lazs would say "I have no ammo but I'm coming back". He would show up too. :D
Some of us take ourselves so seriously. Some take things said in the heat of a "game" battle to personally. Some of us are very predictable. It's gotten to the point that I can name those that will respond to a lazs post & pretty much what they will say. It is a topic of humorus conversation between the ancient one & I, lol.
Before knowing lazs back in WB, I always thought his posts were humorus. Rather, the responses he recieved were the funny part. Recognizing the respondant pattern was even more comical. I considered him the master of all button pushers, lol.
We all have a little lazs in us I think. Another person whom I call friend, ripsnort, is much like lazs. rip is a little more...diplomatic :) but piss him off or be emphatic on the other side of the issue. As a side note, lazs & rip sound alike on rw. Almost identical. Go figure.
Do I think lazs was concerned about the comment? Probably not. I, on the other hand, wanted him & you to know he is my friend, but then again, I like Creamo too, hehehe.
For you "creatures of habit", don't let me down now, ya hear?
-
I forgive you for using Laz and Ripsnort in the same sentence. ;)
-
I think Laz often makes very good points.
I think he often makes very amusing/funny posts.
I think he DOES know how to "push buttons" on some of the folks around here.
Then there's the times I think he's wrong, he's not funny and he's pressing the button too hard. ;)
In short, he's like a lot of other guys on the board and in the game!
-
I hate it when some self appointed burro sphincter speaks for everyone.
Good post Apache. I think I can say there's not many folks I think badly of either here - well cept that psyco EYE and Gunman(XX) ;) - or anywhere else in the online world - well cept MG and Cabby but anyway...
Lazs is most certainly a goode egg. Granted he's consistant in what he says and believes. And right or wrong who can fault that? He will always explain his pov and sometimes folks get thier toes stepped on when he does. In real life I think those folks you could whisper "BOO!" to where upon they'd scurry into a corner and cry about the "badman" anyway.
Wait.
He did piss me off a LOT some time ago in that he always dragged me while Drex clubbed me like a doe eyed guppy. Damn that Lazs! Fuggin meany ;)

i don't hate lazs, i may disagree with his POV sometimes.
-
lazs is a dick... but I don't hate him. I respect the fact that he's consistant and doesn't care what people think about that. It can even be fun at times.
Of course, I only see what he posts here and what he does in the MA. I know virtually nothing about the man. I think its important for people to realize that we don't really know squat about each other.... definately not enough to use words like "hate".

hmmm i hate lasz...or was that like?
hold on i'll get back later...

I have three heroes on this BBS; Lazs, Creamo, and Easymo. I don't always agree with them, but they always seem to capture the essence of the other side succinctly. I admire a well-turned, if coarse, expression. These three are champions of the art, and the place would not be the same without them.
Anyone remember Creamo's magnum opus "Chute-shooting and tears as big as horse turds rolling down your cheeks"? Who can forget his synopsis on what was wrong with pilot art? Comic gold.
-
I don't hate Laz, hell, I don't even dislike him.
-
lazs is right most of the time
others times hes a dic
I tried to hate him but its impossible since hes right most of the time. :)
I was there when an ackstar shot him down then started on channel 1 with
"haha how you like buffs now"
"the reason you dont like buffs is you dont know how to attack"
when lazs finally responded the ackstar said
"shut up 99% of ah hates you"
I was but d200 away when the ackstar got him (ackstar and I same country) and when dude went on channel one and said his "ha-has" I typed on channel 1 ackstarrin is gay to which the ackstar said "i wasnt ackstarrin" even though he continually upped at a capped field and being killed numerous times before he got 3k away from the field.
and finally lazs said
"what do you call it"
That is basically the sum totally of it.
Maybe Karnak can take a poll........
-
I've never disliked lazs. His opinions on bombers and strat are a lot different than mine. And I'm not one of the guys who thinks lazs is usually right. I think he's usually wrong. But I still like him. Who says we have to agree on everything?
-
BTW...
Everyone knows lazs just wants a no strat arena full of newbies that will always fall for his "follow me while I drag to apache" trick.
Why hate someone for that?
AKDejaVu
-
hehe, lazs is a dick even when he's right, but what's wrong with that?
Personally, I like the humor involved with his tirades against all that is unholy to him. Though I'd like to see some new material, as I think he's run "no talent milkrunners" and "the idiotic perk system" into the ground. Come on, lazs, you're a smart guy! Give us some new catch phrases! :)
Not to mention the guy is a damned good Hog flyer. <S> I bet if he found it fun to fly "safe and to live" he could rack up a phenomenal K/D ratio in the DHog.

Who?
Laz?
OUR Laz?
Hate the guy?
Why?
<S!>
-
Guys this is either going to embarrass him or inflate his overgrown ego or both. He is always wrong, he is short, bald, and harmless, he drives an underpowered tiny girlish limey car, and all the things he says about my career are lies. He is the reason I quit the BK's and I hope his ex-wives haunt him eternally.

Would I hate somebody because I disagree with his vision of how this game should be? I would fear for my sanity if this ever occurs.
I learned (the hard way) to like the idiotic humor of this no-talent, attention-deprived guy ;). He's part of the scene. This BBS without his posts would definitely feel empty.
Besides, he's truly gifted to raise a heated discussion at the first post....
<S> Lazs
-
Good post apache.
I would hazard a guess that 80 % of the players have no real idea who lazs is. Of the remaining 20% probably 10% are ambivelent, 5% are supportive and 4% are annoyed with lazs. That leaves the 1% that have a crush on him. And I think thats who he ran into last night.

In Dixon?
BWAHAHHAHHA!
I toejam (shat?) there once.. was commin outta Sacramento.. had lunch at Slick Willies. It wuz the "Eat Me" Burger; and that produced one altogether memorable toejam.
Now, 30 years later, I come to find our man Laz lives there.
I could be his progenator...
;)
-
I don't hate laz either.
(Psseet. Hey. Who the hell is laz?)
-
Laz is alright, just wants to have a good time. I think you are quite a guy.
This dont mean we will be swapping spit in the shower.
-
I hate both Lasz and Ripsnort...and Creamo and Easymo too.
SOB
-
when i first started hanging out on these boards lazs would get me going in just about any way. dunno whats changed since then but now I have this weird respect for him. I dont think everyone hates him at all. There's a lot of people that could be nominated for that particular award but I would never put his name up there.
I'm gonna miss the Wild Wednesday tomorrow night but it's the F4U-1. I wonder if that gigantic furball is within his ROE to atttend?
-
I have met lazs, hooligan, and nomadd of the BK's they are a great group of guys. I am still trying to figure out why so many of lazs' wives have left him ;)
-
I like him. He's always low and slow and turning. Very satisfying to BnZ.
You guys do know that Laz's full time job is wearing a purple dinosour outfit right? :D

How many does he have left?
AKDejaVu

AK I am convinced he stockpiles them somewhere or does the mail order bride thingy from third world countries.
-
Maybe he just recycled them like soda cans after use?
-
You sure they aren't buried in the basement?

Careful with That Axe, Eugene errr.. Lazs.
(Pink Floyd's song if younger hip-hoppers didn't knew...)
-
I don't like Lazs very much at all. Maybe not hate, but I don't like him either.
Would I clear his six in the MA? Sure. As long as there is a target to shoot, I'll clear anyone.
That's about as freindly as I can get with him.

Ok ..... seems by general consensus it can be said that Laz is consistantly an bellybutton and right or wrong .... which he is most of the time ("and what's wrong with that?") ... he shouldn't be hated because hate and games don't go together.
eh heh heh heh heh ....
(starts countdown) :rolleyes: :D

S!
I don`t hate anyone in AH. Why should I? It`s only a game, and people are only expressing opinions. Since we (mostly) live in free countries, that`s our right. As it is our right to disagree with other opinions. The clash of opinions and ideas is what makes a democracy work.
On the other hand, those who turn the discussion from ideas, into personal attacks or insults, are killing good debate. And hindering the building of a consensus.
That`s not very smart.
Oh yeah... I usually disagree with Lazs, but he`s a hell of a virtual pilot. :)
-
Are you guys still talkin about Laz?
I've found that killin the guy on line is not any easier than killin him on the BBS.
Which sez not a hell of a lot about my skills in either enviornment.
-
Lazs is even more like himself in person than he is on the BBS.
