Your 6 is your responsibility. You check your own 6. If you die from a con that you didnt see. Well, your SA sucks.  :aok

Last night I see a "fellow" nameless Knight already engaged in a tussle with 1 and another bogey inbound on him lookin for an easy pick.  I give the obligatory "check six" and get to the fight as soon as my lil zero can get me there.....  I take care of the "interrupter" in very short order and low and behold, what do I hear squeak across VOX....  "it's about TIME!"   Briefly confounded by my "teammate's" gratitude or lack thereof (he was still alive and kicking vs his original bogey) I responded "Excuse me?" to which he responded repeating what I had just uttered albeit in a squeaky/feminine manner....  After a few carefully chosen words I proceeded to let the BnZ'n La7 do his thing on the "friendly" F6F and much to my delight one of the last things I saw as I looked over my shoulder headed away from the fight....  was the "friendly" F6F explode into the prettiest fireball.

In the words of Bill O'Reilly "Where am I going wrong on this?"

There's about half a dozen guys whom I know and like.  The rest are something else.  And, unfortunately, I can/do join the ranks of the "something else" crowd too frequently.  But am working on that.  Need to have a self-squelch option. 

Varying motives, maturity, and physical/mental conditions make AH quite the personality furball.

I've been in situations before watching a con creep up my 6 with several friendlies behind, thinking to myself, "I wonder if any of those guys are gonna send a check six?"

When they don't, they were using me as bait and thus are dweebs.

 On a flight I began to give out 6 calls repeatedly to a certain (will remain nameless) player who made little effort to avoid the con. He got his arse flamed then began yelling at me because I didn't give him a 6 call. I stated that I clearly called it out several times to which he stated, you idiot, you should have used the check 6 button because I couldn't understand you. He of course had no problem understanding me just seconds later as we politely discussed the matter. I understand and incidentally have reprogrammed my stick to do just that although the instances of errant checks with multiple players in view has increased which is probably worse.
 You know I apologize if you didn't hear my 6 call the effort was there. And those choice words, well they were very nice of ya  :noid 

Incidently he immediately changed countries he was sooooo mad   :lol

Don't expect anyone to watch out solely for your best interests. I probably only spend 30% of the time looking forward, 10% out my 3 or 9, and 50% to my high/low six.  I get blamed a lot for not checking someone else's six.

Guy screamed at me the other day on range, about not giving him a check six.  He got bounced about 2.5K away from me (I think).  He cursed me up one side and down the other asking why I didn't "check six". 

I replied, "The red P51 that was 1000 off my 730 diving from 12K was my only concern".

He didn't reply back.

I try to be nice and check6 others but I don't expect any in return as others have already stated my 6 is my responsibility.

I like throwing out a "Hey anyone see if my 6 is clear ? " during situations like that, most of the time answers are apologetic but some of them have been "creative".  I've even been told, "Sorry Zoney but my check 6 button wouldn't work".

It's all good.

Guns06 was not Biggamer.  Previously to being "Biggamer", his name was "Bigamer" and he changed it to "Biggamer" because we all made fun of him one day and hurt his feelings.  He then switched his recently to "Azreal" to hide from the bad reputation he garnered from his time as "Bigamer" and "Biggamer".
