guppy, I made a comment to one specific cartoon P38 driver who had happily shot his mouth off about a cartoon squaddy of mine repeatedly in another thread. it was a response to his own assertations that the P38 was an uber plane. perhaps he's right. in any event I cartoon nailed him as he was trying to cartoon run away from a cartoon fight after his two cartoon P38yuberfriends got smoked. apparently he knew who I meant because he whined as was reported by a squaddy. it was reported that he cried foul and gangyness. I had remained high and out of the cartoon fight until he attempted to make his cartoon escape. 'twas a nice cherrypick too. if the cartoon pilot in question recorded it I would like to see the film. I love animated features.
the second comment was that this was supposed to be dday and not bobII or words to that effect as the ackllieds were typically hanging over the nasty port ack on the cartoon english side.
only two comments. just so you know I don't read 200 or ch1. sadly I can't report on who said what to whom regarding this or that.
some of you fellows must have binoculars and are completely aware of all the comings and goings in your neighborhoods. we need that here. a sort of CT JG54 crime watch. good idea you civic minded wonder players. keep a log too you never can tell when you may need the evidence.
You are missing the point Storch. You ae a visible representative of both the CT and the CT development group. The latter role giving you in my opinion even greater responsibility in how you present yourself as you clearly have an investment in making the CT work.
Roughly 3500 posts on these boards, meaning there is some name recognition for folks who pay attention.
Some of us had been flying for a while last night before you appeared. No one, and I mean no one, had been complaining about anything. The fights had ebbed and flowed back over the channel. The conversation on the open channels was respectful and folks were having fun.
You show up and the first whines show up too. Somehow people weren't playing it your way is how it came across. So what if you caught someone in the Ack. No one was hiding in it. No complaints about what folks were flying prior to that as well.
Again Storch, for me it comes down to the responsibilty you have with your more visible role in the CT. You need to help set the tone.
Using BatfinkV as an example. Last night when I popped in, he was setting the tone. Respectful, welcoming, talking to both sides of the Channel and working his tail off to find guys from the MA to the TA to come fly the CT. He never grumbled about a thing and it was great fun flying with him.
And if you look at the posts recently, people noticed something different last night. That, in my opinion is very much a result of BatfinkV and his efforts.
People seemed to have responded well to it too. Isn't that what we should want the CT to be like?
