Hey Tom, up yours!!!! You are not welcome here. The commercial
developers own you, go kiss their butts back on your forum you maggot.
You are bought and sold, get out of the newgroups.

AVSIM SUCKS!!!

AVSIM IS NOTHING MORE THAN A MOUTHPIECE FOR DEVELOPERS. IF YOU
ADVERTISE ON AVSIM THEY WILL PROMOTE YOUR PRODUCT NO MATTER WHAT AND
OPPRESS ANY NEGATIVE FACTUAL INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR COMPANY.

YOU SUCK TOM ALLENSWORTH. GET OUT OF THE NEWGROUPS, GO KISS THE BUTTS
OF YOUR ADVERTISERS.

No, Eric. You are incorrect.

It's YOU and YOUR attitude, bad manners, foul mouth that is not wanted.

Just who the HELL do you think you are, to presume to speak for me or
anyone else in any of these groups?

There are 1000's of useful downloads, all free and download speed are the
best of all the fsim download sites. Plenty of informative articles on
flightsim as well -- it all cost you not a cent and you are complaining? Who
cares if they also promote commercial product, where else would they get the
funds from to provide free downloads, I ask you?

These posts of yours are one of the most foolish I saw for a while in this
group.

I followed that discussion at AVSIM (and your post re FS Mud), if you
are referring to the news items on the front page, they are not
advertisements, anyone whith some FS news of interest to the community
can have it posted there, both freeware and payware, that's not an
advert.

> > OPPRESS ANY NEGATIVE FACTUAL INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR COMPANY.

There was no attempt to supress any "negative factual" information,
there was plenty of negative and positive (albeit heated) exchanges.
As for factual, well that's very debatable, the folks that initiated
that post used some pretty strong language and did so without even
trying the product which is unfair and no doubt contributed to the
backlash.

I think you need to come back to this post in a few weeks after you
have calmed down and re-read what you have just typed (in capitals
which as you know is shouting) and I think you will be a little
ashamed of yourself.

Well, where I was raised, it takes a CROOK to know a CROOK.

I do not see Tom using foul language and shouting at people as someone of
your ill-mannered calibre does.

Tom, Thanks to you, AVSIM and Bill Leaming and the others on this newsgroup
that have some sense and manners.

And those of us who questioned the decision to ban him without knowing
all the facts now have egg on our faces :-) . Looks like it was
well-deserved move by AVSIM.

Trip, yeah well, we have grown used to those that are quick to leap to
conclusions about things we do. Most times, they do end up eating a bit of
that feathery beast. :)

If all the rational individuals here were do as I have just done, and
killfiled this moron, then none of his insane ranting here will matter
anymore. Attacks on AVSIM or other sites are another matter altogether.

Why? Simply because he banned you from AVSIM for being a loud mouthed
troublemaker?
