I Can't Quit You

Yes we are.

It's a scary board because it's specific and not as welcoming as some other much larger boards for talk in general. There are many more newbies on other boards.

What scares newbs here is it's a little cliquish since it's all pilots and flying in the first place, and in the second place, you better be damn right about what you say because it's going to get challenged every time by some pretty smart people who know their stuff about aircraft and regulations. :redface:

There was a brief discussion about farewell threads and the mods or staff threw down a threat or two that threads were going to be locked if they got off track or colored with hate.

But other than that, it's been the same POA.

Pilots Orating Anonymously. :lol:

FTFY! :)

It's cliquish with a hierarchy imposed by perceived aviation rank and that has to really suck for anyone new to the board, e.g. why does so-and-so get away with being a turd when this other so-and-so doesn't? It would help if the MC turned off their blinders but that isn't going to happen.

It's a schoolyard.

You got your hippies over there, your kickers over there, your dweebs, geeks, and stoners over there ... Goth's, bro's and ho's at another table ...

People clan up. :yinyang:

That's some funny "fecal excrement" right there now...I don't care who you are.

And true too.

Note: edited to satisfy the vulgarity filter!

Where's the ho table again? I gotta...nevermind...
 
What a shock.

Someone so narcissistic that he had to announce his departure, has to start a whole thread to announce his return.
 
Jeff, I think your post is a personal attack, and uncalled for. He apologized for going too far, and deserves respect for being man enough to do that.

He, rather frequently, insults people and engages in all manner of logical fallacies to try and show what a great thinker he is. He demonstrates a large spectrum of behaviours that are classically narcissistic.

I call 'em like I see 'em. One apology for one of literally hundreds of insults does not a "man" make.

FTFY, I just can't abide apologies that blame others.

Doubling down on the personal attacks, I see.
 
One thing I have learned as an adult is that all people have flaws.
 
Time-out is over. Back for cookies ?
 
Welcome back, Captain. The exit was, well, interesting. I hope all parties involved can let bygones be bygones, and I hope we will all try a little harder to get along with one another. I know a lot of the conversation that goes on here is a lot of BS and shootin' the shiznit, but it is a very valuable resource to many, and those kinds of issues run off good people. It's plain to see that certain parties here on POA don't care much for each other, but when you guys turn threads into a pecker measuring contest or a rant, it's a major buzzkill. With a large group of folks from different places with different ideas, it's inevitable that people will get rubbed the wrong way, but let's all do our best to keep it fun, informative, and cordial. That's my feeling anyway. I 'preciate all you guys and gals, and I hate to see folks go at it over male bovine feces.
 
The Commodore wishes you well.

Thanks for that post Okie, nicely put, well reasoned and insightful.

Of all the voices I have in my head, not one is the voice of reason. :)

Captain, I'm glad you are back. Not sure how I missed this thread, but Ijust read it and must admit you took the "man up" approach.

Welcome back my friend.

Cameron? Did your mother want a girl? :rofl::rofl::rofl: ;)

Some of us take time outs prior to saying some thing that will get us kicked out, some don't.

I refuse to place any one on my ignore list, I do have several on my " I won't answer list " They know every thing already, so Why?

Agree. :yes:

I have no enemies here, only friends. Like Captain I love the debate, banter, and BS. :D

Would you be, like, really hurt if I said I hadn't noticed you were gone?

Because if so, then I won't mention it.

Whatever the case, welcome back.

Nicely said sir. :yes:
 
Captain said:
Seriously, I can't.

This forum is too important to me. Professionally I can post questions here and get an answer much faster than trolling around my own social network.

But there's more. As mad as I get I have to admit I enjoy the banter and discussion...so, here I am.

So, a little housekeeping is in order. When I stomped out I threw out a line designed to cause pause. Something about advising legal counsel. I admit it was ill thought out and a bit childish. I was angry and still have a perceived grievance towards the management of this forum. Would I try to take legal action? Of course not. It'd be expensive, silly, and I seriously doubt any lawyer or judge would listen to my rant.

Still, I feel slighted and I'm not sure the remedy. Many have said anonymity is bad and an open forum is better. I can agree with that, but what's not fair is changing the rules. If it's anonymous then it should be treated that way. To let someone sign up under the pretense that it's anonymous and then out them....well, doesn't seem fair and that's my only gripe.

To alcohol;

It's a tad related to the above. If I was anonymous then I wouldn't really care that Florida Cracker includes the charge of being a drunk in nearly every post aimed at me. But it's not anonymous and I'm a professional pilot and the charge of being a drunk doesn't really sit well with me. Am I a drunk? No, but being publicly called one IS a sensitive issue for me.

Denver...

I only tried to block you as a farce when you supported FC. But then, when I was blocked from blocking you...well, that just totally tied into the whole management bending me over theme.

So, there it is. I went sorta over the line with my legal action threat so I'd understand if management banned me or something. For that I'm sorry. It was a moment of rage and I wanted to sting. Maybe it gave pause, maybe not. Either way it was over the line.

Hope ya'll staying warm,

Fred

I gave a lot of sorry's there. Think I got any back? No.

So, forum management is fine outing me and not saying a word of apology to me about it. No PM, no post, nothing. Okay, fine.

So, there you are. Anyone who thinks they may be posting anonymously, think again. Turns out the f'ing management here has no problem outing you and then claiming you're a puss, cause hey...'we just outed your FIRST name'. Seriously, that's the stated line. They only outed my FIRST name so it's okay. Forget I have a unique name flying a unique plane. My problem, right??

Never mind I post on SZ an anti religious position and their outing my non-common name coupled with a public database gives my f'ing address....ya know, where my kids sleep. Rest easy that because I don't like Fox News it's okay to put me and my kids lives in the public crosshairs.

Funny? Both my Twitter and Instagram profiles have been followed by multiple middle eastern named men in the past six months.

So, yeah...I'm out...again.


For real...

Good bye....


I mean it...


Okay. Seriously. FC is a piece of **** and I'm out.

I notice 'sorry' isn't mentioned.

I know, you've said you can't understand how outing my first name can possibly be an issue.


How about this...

It IS an issue and it shouldn't have happened. How about you own that and say you're sorry. How about...


No,

...it's MY fault, right? You said I came on here 'swinging' so you had to check me out and presumably that led to outing me...

..sorry I MADE you out me.


Still confused? I'm ****ed. Management OUTED me and current members delights in using my name. What's not to understand? Are you dense?
 
It would be easy to say "Oh well, it happened several years ago," but then there's the fact that I was once outed by a forum manager (elsewhere), and I have to admit, I never trusted him again. So: :dunno:
 
I dont think this forum is right for you.
