Thank you for the many honourable mentions but I must decline to agree. Presently I am not being very Gentlemanly at all, I have had some distasteful experiences in game and most especially on this forum with some of the more abhorrent facets of human personalities which has taken its toll on my normal Zen deportment. I can only attribute my reduced tolerance to the rather stressful half year Mrs Shida and I have been experiencing since the premature birth of Tiny Shida. I am rather tired all of the time and am presently not able to think with the clarity and patience I once had. In the words of Spock:

"Please pay no attention. I'm not myself. I'm behaving disgracefully. I have eaten animal flesh and I have enjoyed it".

Considering way now with the hope that I can once again be worthy of such consideration*...

I would nominate 2 people,

DR7, because he shows no loalty to one country and no matter which country he goes to he gets mad respect from everyone.

999000 also for the same reasons.

dr7 has been on the bish side :headscratch:

In my experience I have to disagree with the part regarding uber guys not wanting to help.  Everytime I have ever PM'd one of them after flat out thumping me in a fight or just seeing them in country have been more than willing to give advice.  That's just my experience with the ones I have PM'd....off the top of my head:   Stang, Joach1m, Ink (Jetsom), Redbull, Skyrock...some others I'm sure... I can't remember.  They were always willing to give out advice or information that I asked for.  The other guys mentioned in the post that I have talked to have also been good guys.  I have gotten rage PM's, but not from any of the guys that I would consider uber.

Not saying you haven't had bad experiences in that regard...just saying I haven't.  I think the attitude of keeping "secrets" or not wanting competition would be more likely in someone with a more middle of the roadish ability. 

I've not been in the DA/TA with any of them yet but not because they haven't offered.  The schedules just haven't meshed for it.  If there is a good time for it I would love to know so I can plan for it....really want to join in on that if possible.

I assume you're being sarcastic  ;)  Debrody is alright. I asked him to the DA recently and found him to be polite and willing to help me out some. I see a lot of folks starting crap with him for little to no reason at all actually. That's just my opinion <shrugs>  :salute


Not to say that him and Who's chest thumping with each other doesn't get on my nerves though ........... :bhead

Why would you assume I'm being sarcastic?  :)

Sounds like you have had the same experience in the DA with Debrody that titan referred to on the first page, which is the post I was agreeing with :headscratch:

My votes and respect go out to a lot of people for 'sportsmanship' including:

Latrobe, 999000, Ink, Copprhed, Zaphod, wagger, nrshida, most of 71 Squadron RAF, pretty much everyone in the 80th BG HeadHunters, Greebo, Doc72CH, the list goes on, that's just off the top of my head.

I can't say whether of not JOACH1M is a good sport of not when you kill him as he's usually the one killing me...  :bhead  :furious

71 Sqd. appreciates the kind mention...Thanks!!!

 :lol well then if you're serious then you're full of horsesheet. I said he's alright but he ain't no angel be any means. You remember "MegaDave"? I think Debrody is one of those guys you won't like until one takes the time to get to know him and understand his style.

Shida Sir, everyone has days when something or someone gets under your skin that would
at any other time not even be a bother.
I can't imagine the stress and anxieties that you and Mrs. went through this past Summer.
Thank God things turned out well.
I've never seen you say or do anything in game or here that I would say was rude, condescending, hurtfull etc.
