"Jerry Springer" wrote in message ink.net... You have to be the dumbest f*** of all time. Yes we own you but you are not one of the states. Speaking of yellow stripes when are you going to fly the BD? rofl! No, Jerry, you have taken over that spot all for yourself. And you're welcome to keep it as long as you want. The BD will fly when it's ready, unlike you and your apparent desire to have no problem showing your stupidity any time you feel like doing so. |

"Eric Miller" wrote in message . net... So defendants should not accept personal responsibility when they screw up and damn near get someone killed? Or is personal responsibility something that applies only to plaintiffs? What I'm saying is that when you decide to use a product, you accept a certain amount of responsibility. How much? More than Joe Schmoe currently accepts, that's for sure! Where motorcycles and flying machines are concerned, that burden is even greater. Make up your mind. Either there is personal responsibility for both sides, or there isn't any. Can't pick and choose, because when you BUILD a problem, you also accept a certain amount of responsibility. It didn't go to trial, so the defendent didn't make an issue of anything. Sorry, but here you're wrong, period. You don't have to get to trial to make an issue of something in the lawsuit. Remember, if reading the account according to the plaintiff's counsel, you're getting a definite slant. In this case, that's rather unlikely. Juan |

Can't pick and choose, because when you BUILD a problem, you also accept a certain amount of responsibility. I didn't contradict myself. Where motorcycles and flying machines are concerned the USER must accept more responsibility. That's why we preflight. Besides, I'll bet the builder test flew the UL before declaring it ready to fly. That suggests plaintiff inexperience, either as a pilot in general, or in make&model. It didn't go to trial, so the defendent didn't make an issue of anything. Sorry, but here you're wrong, period. You don't have to get to trial to make an issue of something in the lawsuit. You don't have to go to trial to make an issue of something, but you don't have to raise all issus before the trial. In other words, you can't claim to know the defendent's entire defense and strategy. Remember, if reading the account according to the plaintiff's counsel, you're getting a definite slant. In this case, that's rather unlikely. I'm suggesting that one side's account might be... (wait for it...) one-sided. Especially where the account is provided a) by a lawyer b) in support of advertising services. I see a pattern in this thread of confusing/blurring the distinction between set and subset. merit is a subset of settlement... pre-trial issues are a subset of trial issues Forget this case. I dont even care about it. All my spouting is meant in general anyway. Can you agree that settlements can happen without merit (which is different from frivilous) and issues can be raised in trial that don't come up pre-trial? Say yes and I can stop posting!

In article vC26b.367444$uu5.70843@sccrnsc04, Juan E Jimenez says...
Richmond, Virginia Circuit Court: Case # LK-989-3. Now, close your trap before another fly gets attracted to the odor. Your hero already admitted he lied. I admitted no such thing your like your hero zoom playing word games and twisting the factsand telling the lie so often that you believe it. # LK-989-3 I believe that's the Morgan Case which I located today, after I read it over to refresh my memory I'll comment on it here ,in public .I will also comment on the Florida case you mentioned .But if you were as good at digging up dirt as you think you are you should have known the George Conn subject has been talked about quite a bit in this public forum. Ask Kevin O'Brien about the paperwork I showed him concerning the George Conn situation. Once again I got nothing to hide . In fact Conn and I have a case pending right now and as soon as we get it over with if anyone wants to know how it comes out I'll tell them . As I said before I got nothing to hide unlike your hero zoom. Chuck SRAH-15/1 ret "credibility it was always about credibility" chuck s |

In article ,
says... It is impossible to believe the amount of energy going into this kind of thing!!! I could build a house with the time and energy spent in flam ing each other in this newsgroup. What does everyone get out of this exce rcise? What is the purpose or goal behind it?? I'm really curious. Stu Fields Justice, fair play, ethics and a host of other words along those lines come to mind. On one hand you have a businessman who has spent well over 20 years building a reputation for honesty and integrity. Along the way he has recieved numerous awards from the aviation community. He has earned the respect of that community and the loyality of his customers. Of course over the years he has had a few unhappy customers and law suits. Any business will have a certain amount of that but Chuck has had far fewer than most because he tries to do the right thing and he is willing to publicly discuss them. On the other hand you have an individual that has had severe mental, financial and moral problems for a very long time. He has used the power of his press to shamelessly extort money from some of his advertisers. He published good articles about Chuck as long as Chuck was an advertiser but turned on him when Chuck would not continue to advertise ..... and Chuck is not the only one. The list of things Jim has done reads like a bad soap opera. Take notice of the number of people that quickly rise to defend Chuck and then look at his paid lacky Juan posting half truths, evasions and wise cracks. Jim will not even post himself because there are too many questions that he doesn't want to answer. Check the Osterhaus site for some background. This discussion belongs on this group since it is about a well known aviation figure and a so called aviation magazine publisher. The truth needs to come out here since it will never be published in ANN as long as Zoom owns it. |

In article , Badwater Bill says...
I'm not so sure that the publicity Chuck gets from some maniacal rant is all harmful. I think most people who really know what's going on, understand the rift and take it for what it's worth. As for those who don't know beans about Zoom or Chuck, I really think that the press, even though negative possibly helps Chuck because it keeps his company's name in circulation. Frankly Bill if I had my druthers I would rather that 9 years ago zoom just would have left me alone.I'm capable of generating my own press that isn't harmful and have done enough legitimate things in this business to earn press space. I've accomplished things that are verifiable and not embellished, unlike most of zooms record. Negative publicity might work for politicians and movie stars but it don't work for guys like me I don't like it and it cost me plenty.But he dealt the cards and I'm stuck with it. Yes, I know this is a strange thing to say to some of you, but I have friends who feel that any press, negative press included can be a benefit. Maybe they're movie stars or politicians, they can have it. I'm not trying to open a debate over this, I'm just speculating a bit, and I'm not sure what the real outcome is. I think the real outcome will come when zoom finally gets 2 nickles to rub together and has something of value ,then I'll probably sue him for all this crap and take it away . But at the rate he's going it will be a long time.That may be the only way it will stop. Until then every time he lies or twists the truth he will be exposed for doing it. But, I'll guarantee you one thing, everybody in the ultralight industry knows who Zoom is and they all hold him and what he says in context. Having Zoom out to get you is considered an product endorsement by many. In fact most of the readers of this group are in that category! That is true enough but it only applies to those who are aware of the whole story .To newbies it sounds like it's just a ****ing match between some people who don't like each other.They think zoom is probably a legitimate guy and not the phoney that he is.He tried passing off his phoney credientials to an English magazine recently,which only proves that he's still trying to pass himself off as legitimate and that people who are unaware of his background will accept him at face value unless they have reason not to . Sadly he could have been a legitimate player in this field but he chose for what ever reason to try to make himself bigger then life and and the savior of aviation. That attitude caused him to lose credibility and for many others such as ex employees ,ex writers and manufacturers to have to deal with the unnecessary grief he caused.
