I have removed all reference to my book and I apologize to this board for bringing the low-lifes from agw to your peaceful board.
Thank you,

Great, Bob. By the way, the links on your page seem to be broken; I couldn't get to Burbank's with them. Say hi to Michael Hyde. He was great to work with when Mark Eager and I published out book through him (wonder if he's got any copies left :)).

Good lord. Is this one of the other signs of the Apocolypse???

The link has been fixed now. Please try it again. Michael has worked hard on this project.

Isn't this the same bobn from the AGW boards who was the subject of intense controversy?
I can't remember the exact situation but if I remember right it came down to that you were full of BS.
AGW crowd, care to explain?
-
Yes moose, it is.
He alluded to the fact that book was a diary of his, posted doctored pictures of his supposed outfit and then skirted all the questions.
Despite silly write up, book appears to be a fictional story, in cause you really need one before bedtime.
I'm suprised to see Burbank actually have anything to do with this. He's a total class act. Somethat that can't be said for bobn.
-
FD, I am not too sure that Burbank new about Bobn's antics at the time, and was committed before he knew that Bob Bailey lied about his military record. I know Matt was burned.
To the Aces High crowd, I just tell you to have nothing to do with this man or his book. His name is mud amongst Warbirds pilots, and this book he is promoting was printed and sold with him telling the buying public that it was his stories as an F4 pilot in Veitnam, something he was never. One of the "quotes" on the book, Matt "Target" Davis, is from a man Bob lied to about his military record.
Good luck to your sim, sounds like it is going good. But I gotta tell you one of the quotes on the WB's board about this guy.
"I wouldn't wish Bobn upon the Aces High guys."
Hi FD, Rip and Funked! Is Weazel still here?
-
thanks Hedu,
I remembered seeing all this stuff on agw a few months ago. didn't want to see anyone get shafted.

If you want to support someone who lied about his military background and doctored photos (badly) to try and back his claims then buy this book, Bobn is a habitual liar and the lowest form of pond scum you're likely to ever find. If I were the people whose comments were used by Bobn on this page I would be seeking a way to get them removed as by reading them it is obvious they were made on the strength of Bobn's lies.
He's not only lied about his military career but also scoffed at another players loss of a friend in conflict..oh yeah Bobn is a real class act :rolleyes:
-
The thread is worth looking up. It is one of the most bizzare cases of behavbior I have seen since one of our members tried to start a flight sim a few years ago.
Anyway... the thread has some really funny comments on the doctored photos and some very clever hblair like doctored reply photos. There is also some over the top crap that is pretty disgusting by the "author".

You don't want to go there, its AGW at its lowest point, 250+ thread with gang banging on bobn. Sad, really sad.

Well seeing as I hold an account with AH I'll stay put, the AH community should know the kind of person he is.

Hope I'm reading that the wrong way Ripsnort or do you really support someone who lies about their military history, not just a small lie but a huge whopping one including badly doctored pictures substituting your info over the real pilots info? Do you support someone who also mad light of one players friend dying during the war?

If I recall, about the thread in question, Boobn after being exposed as the fruad he is, went back and deleted all his posts on the thread...so it reads a bit disjointed now....still based on the replies you can kind of figure out what was going on.
Bobn has done a heap full of crap over on AGW over the years...one of his other high points was when he was going to turn all the WB's trainers and CM's in to the IRS (because they had comped accounts) and in his pea size mind they were in violation of "tax law" LOL.
-
Drex! Hey! How ya doing!
Rip, AGW at it's lowest point is fair, if you mean Bobn is slime. He really craped in the punch bowl of the NW guys, even threatening me with the Mercer Island Police.
Hey, I still have my "ace of Spades:109" card that I think Weazel made for me!
When is either of our sims gonna get the Do335?

Go away idiot... :rolleyes:

Target, Hedu, Revvin-
No offense taken here. I've read Bobn's stuff. That he is totally untrustworthy needs to be stated here once anyway. We just don't need to beat it to death.
-
I apologize to the board for bringing this trash over with me. I also missed the rule against "hawking" as the man said. I will remove the ad and let you guys get back to normal.

"You don't want to go there, its AGW at its lowest point, 250+ thread with gang banging on bobn. Sad, really sad."
Actually, it is one of the finest hours of the AGW. It is when a community finally stood up and said, "Enough". The actual mechanics were not pretty, granted, but then, removing a cancer seldom is.
-
I wonder if bobn will consider this as having "beaten" us?
-
I apologize to this board for bringing the low-lifes from agw to your peaceful board.
He refers to himself in both third person and plural?
Strange.

Heheh WTG AGW'ers! That earns ya 100 Respect Points in my book :)
-
I believe that's a sign of being 'affected', DejaVu.
Kind of like how Whitney Houston once said, 'Whitney doesn't do stairs.'
-
I find it interesting that the author doesn't attempt to save face and defend his book, and military <ahem> history. Makes me suspect the accusers are right on the mark and the only thing close to military service he saw was holding a baton full of nickels while in a Salvation Army uniform.
But, I could be wrong :)
-
Just to let you all know, the quotes Bobn used to pump up his book are mistakes. Burbank said himself that know one knows what the book is fully like, not even the author, cause no one has seen it fully completed yet.
-
I meant the WHOLE affair,from the Bobn fibbing his historical past to the gang banging on him...those kind of threads are nasty.
-
Rip, He brought it all on himself. When someone is that much of a pariah on a community, then the community had to do something. I have yet to meet anyone who isn't happy with how the whole thing turned out.
Rip, he called Firefox a "hairlip", then invited himself to the NW breakfast that Firefox organized. Even Bobn's friends had to to tell him that was out of bounds.
Gang-Bang? I just don't see that as a description that fits. We acted as a community, to keep our community a welcome place. Some mud got slung, but with the anonimity of the net, thats expected. I would hope that AH nevers have to go through what we did, but I also bet you guys would stand up for your community the way we did.
