One thing that has changed.  We've never had a village idiot on these boards with such stamina as the one we have now.

In that regard there is little point in trying to start any kind of conversation as they tend to end up in the same place every time regardless of the original topic.

Midway is an enigma wrapped in a mystery, and only he can unravel it; but it would be easier if you actually listened, midway. You might hear something that will start the process for you.

The kind of thing you got going on in your head, is like having a wild animal on steroids let loose on your thoughts. The moment something goes in, it shreds it and throws it back out at us again and the best you can do is make sure it doesn't fling it's feces.

Its a really sad, painful and lonely way to exist I bet.

But there is always hope middy, but you need to look inside yourself and tame that animal so you can get back to using all that brain matter properly again.

Then you will never feel the way you do, again!  :)

I listen to everything I hear and read... and, unfortunately have to ignore much of the irrational trash thrown about... I won't mention names... but if you look at my prior posts and the responses, it will be obvious.  :aok

Don't fall in the trap of creating some silly version of me in your head as so many others do.  I'm fully sane, normal, a good pilot, and we could likely be best buds in RL if we lived near one another.  I'm blessed with an outstanding family, kids, job, life, friends, health, and hobby(s).  

You'll find many find me a nice and good pilot with substantial enthusiasm and aspirations and having improved much in my short 2 1/2 years in Aces High and am a decent tanker as well.  Being able to pwn virtually 95% of pilots with my mighty Spitfire being just one such achievement that I'm quite proud of. :D

I do admit I talk a lot and therefore get a lot of flak... but it really doesn't bother me because there are gems of knowledge and wisdom to be found among the flak that make it all worthwhile.  I wish I had Badboy's knowledge and insight and my FPH's skills and awesomeness... then I wouldn't have much to say except to help others.  That's certainly not the case... yet.  :)

Yeah Shida....I've always wondered why some posts get mega views and replies while others get squat.  :banana:

Midway, it just seems like you are tightly balancing on a very thin line between two places, that no one here can seem to properly perceive the difference between.

I really don't see what the fuss from... One or two people is all about, considering the forums are about as active as they've ever been.

That's it in a nutshell. It never fails that as soon as he posts anything the original topic goes to hell and it then becomes all about him. 200 channel the same way. Hour after hour of mouth....nonstop.  :bhead

Well its obvious telling him to shut up isn't working, you could always de-tune 200 ingame I have killed/picked midway a few times recently and heard nothing from him I even get a salute every now and again, the trick is to actually just ignore his posts act like he isn't there, now I don't mind middy and I do usually read his posts but it would be quite easy not to respond to any of them or even acknowledge them if I didn't like him.

All you are doing is giving him reason to post like right now he has exactly what he wants because my post is about him but I will not be dragged into any sort of e-peen contest with him or any of you for that matter. Can we block people on here so we cant see there posts? there must be a few ways to mute people surely? beats having to listen to you guys moan about him.

   When Midway is one of your countrymen he is a helpful asset and is quite cordail. When you type I think the disconnect happens when you Spit out thoughts that you would not normaly say in a conversation.

   Midway your are the best Troll I have seen in many years and I'm sure you enjoy the reactions you get from the simple minds. But be careful you may get a reaction you don't expect.

 
I always wanted to fight an impossible battle against incredible odds.

 :uhoh    :headscratch:

I am just a pilot that enjoys discussing Aces High related things and answering questions and responding to people on topics of interest such as this.  You would never find me hiding in a trash can and doing something like that guy.  I would more likely be the guy with the microphone interviewing the person of interest to learn from them.

HiTech posted this great video defining what a troll is:

HiTech

I am not a troll.  I fly far too often (roughly 50,000 victories in game in two and a half years) and post less than one post on BBS for every 15 sorties) and almost all on topics that are Aces High related.  Check my posting history and you'll see for yourself. :aok

Have you hijacked this thread also Middy?!  :rofl

I must admit, I think the whole trolling is sort of funny. You are persistant, I'll give you that!  :aok
