Xargos,

I'm merely presenting a Cherry-Picking counterpoint for pilots like Skyrock and others, who as you put it, try to force people to respect them or their tactics.

New Point taken.

Still, you said  things like "robbing your home" and "wiping their feet" (presumably on a welcome mat) in your original metaphor, so I hope you can see where I'm coming from.

The wonderful irony is that every cherry picks..... every single pilot who even rarely enters furballs in the MA cherry picks.  Skyrock picks when the chance arises, just like everyone else in the MA.

I think the point some are trying to make that there are pilots that are too timid to do anything else.  A good example is Senneca that milk runs in the MW.

I rarely cherry pick.    I posted only once in this thread and only mentioned Serenity being mugged.

Cherry picking is neither good nor bad...it is just part of the game. Generally speaking, I will try to ask is the friendly needs help before I enter someone else's fight. Personally, I much prefer to hunt the pickers instead of the cherries. Picker whines are always vintage. :D

In the end, if you fly like a cherry...somebody is gonna make a pie out of you. :)

The reasons I cherry pick:
        1.   Because I can
        2.   La7 was built to cherry and ho if you think different you ant flying it right.
        3.   You CANT STOP ME FROM DOING IT AGAIN.
        4.   I know Skyrock will scream like a little girl on 200.
All you do is vulch & run
200 Impossible shot’s I’am sending this film to HTC (Spit 16 that lost a 4 v 1)
200 Is that all you can do is H O (P38 shot by my SBD)
200 Wow shoot me landing u **** bag of **** I had 6 kills
DarkStarJust lost 1 of my rockets vulching, you don’t hear me WHINE
