What does meeting anyone have to do with anything here? I once met a guy that seemed really nice, and is now in jail for another 8 years for murder. I wasn't out there backing him after he shot a 12 year old boy in the head saying "Well, he was nice, so we should cut him slack."
Hold on, when did I ever say we should cut her some slack? When you were accusing her, I was saying facts need to come out first, which they had not. I've not said that we should cut her some slack. I have said that I still like her and will still go to her airshows, and honestly I think she's dealt with enough given the fact that people like you have made the statements you have. I'm not asking you to cut her some slack, but you are also on the offensive as if you don't make mistakes.
And as to what meeting her has to do with anything, you're basing your entire opinion on an article. You have nothing else to go by. I'm not saying I'm a close personal friend, but you're even less qualified than I am to make a judgement.
To accuse an officer of having AIDS, to call them pigs? How far does she have to go before you'll say "Dang, that was messed up!"
Actually, that sounds pretty funny to me. But I'm not blessed with a sense of humor, so what do I know.
Would you say you've never said anything idiotic while drunk? Pretty doubtful. Not necessarily in that same vein, but still, drunk people say stupid things. I've yet to find exceptions to this rule when you add appropriate amounts of alcohol.
Furthermore, you still weren't there. You're basing it all on an article and acting as though you're a expert. Then, when people disagree with you, you become aggressive towards them.
Believe me, I'm the same. I can put off a pretty nice vibe, but man, I can be a real ass when I have to be.
And so if people choose to judge you based on the ass portion, do you figure that's representative? Probably not, because from what I know of you from talking to you you seem like a nice guy (but what do I know?). I would be highly surprised if you were in any situation that caused the same level of comments that you've put towards Patty that you would happily accept the criticism.
While I won't say I can't wait for you to mess up so we get to condemn you, should you find yourself in a bad situation, don't expect much sympathy, at least not from me. I won't condemn you, either, though.
Maybe not surprising, but I don't know that I'd say acceptable. I used to drink that too...in High School. But then I grew up. Apparently people like Patty never did.
I didn't say acceptable, I said not surprising. I never said to let people get off with something they were guilty of, but I also realized a while ago (still working on fully implementing it into my own life) to minimize the number of stones I throw. While my house is not entirely glass, it has its share of windows.
