Shunmaster wrote in message ... Jay Honeck presented the following explanation : Maybe true for them, but there are hundreds (thousands?) of lurkers here with far less experience than you. Consider SHUNNING. Ah yes, the anonymous Snow****master right on schedule. It's "shunning" posts like these that cause all the hard feelings around here in the first place. At least BWB signs his posts as himself. He's an honest broker. You on the other hand have so many identities even you can't keep them straight. Your attempt at crushing free speech is deplorable and very un-american. pacplyer - out Pac, What a crock!!!! Please, get your thinking cap on straight. First off, *YOU* are as ANONYMOUS as they come and could not only be called a coward for it, but a stunning hypocrite as well. Secondly... shunning is not a method to crush free speech. Exactly the opposite is true when coupled with anonymity. Hypothetically.... Let us say that you got under someone's skin here typing out undeniable TRUTHS using your real name. Let's also say it offends particular person(s) sufficiently that it causes them sufficient heartburn to bring legal action against you for your FREE SPEECH that is known to be true and correct. Let us further state that they even openly admit the only reason they are hauling you into court is an attempt to spend you into the poor house. What would you REALLY do to defend your FREE SPEECH? We already have your answer, hypocrite. You are here anonymously, because you are too cowardly to spend a small portion of your well heeled airline pilot income to take on Internet bullies that could threaten your right to LEGITIMATE AND TRUE FREE SPEECH! Bullies are deplorable and unamerican, not me. From a point of simple and logical economics... Bullies deserve to be shunned/ignored, don't you think? P.S. Honesty, like beauty, is sometimes in the eye of the beholder. -- This is an automatic signature of MesNews. Site : http://mesnews.no-ip.com |

Gary Thomas and April were about 20% of who attended PJY this year and Gary is not a pilot or a builder, neither is April. Yeah, they are nice folks, but they can't contribute to anything related to homebuilding or flying. I like Gary and April too, but my point is they are not the data bases that Pac or O'ring or Jarvis or Craig Wall are. Just my opinion. BWB Hell Bill, I don't know if you've noticed but when all the experts and high timers are telling stories and giving expert advice the only ones that are really listening are us low time-no time-wannabe-neverbe-hasbeen-neverbeens. Most of the folks that need to shine need an audience and the best audience is the one that thirsts for the knowledge they have to impart not the one that is thinking about what it wants to say when you shutup so he/she can top what you just said. As for drilling a straight hole and setting a rivet I'll take you on any time any place. I'll have you know that I have set many a rivet repairing an old aluminum john boat that I used to carry my old compressor out to the Los Angeles breakwater where I was installing sensors on the sea floor to measure the permeability of the breakwater to ocean wave energy. As for composites I think that I can top you. I have hands on experience designing and building boats using high tech composites including vacuum bagging, etc. What I'm trying to say is that I make my living designing and building things. Things that are alot more complex than an aircraft kit. I don't jump in with helpful hints in areas where I feel that I can contribute because I don't have any aircraft building experience and people just like you will feel that I haven't paid my dues where it counts and they may be right. I'd love to build and airplane. I'd rather build than fly, truth be known. I am offering my services to anyone in the Boston area that might like a willing helper. I don't do epoxy anymore (too allergic) but machining, welding, hammering, sawing, sanding, fairing, painting etc., are all within my abilities. If interested you can reach me at this address. Just my opinion Gary Thomas |

You ought to jump in when you have something to contribute. Your experience and attitude makes you sound like a pretty all-round smart guy. The worst case is some particular idea may be way different in boatbuilding than airplane building, which should come out in meaningful discussion... Oh well, it's not like you are trying to portray yourself as an airplane expert. The best possible case is a fresh (to airplane building) idea. Most likely, something in between, and somebody will read it and think, "Hey, I hadn't thought of that." A lot of the best tricks on fixing cars, for example, are the ones that make long menial tasks (things like stuck bolts) easy. You can't learn stuff like that from a textbook, you either waste all kinds of time figuring it out yourself, or, my point- somebody can teach you. My .02 |

That makes you the real internet bully here. I guess it's just too threatening for you to realize that Bill does have friends. Pac, you appear to be his last remaining friend on this forum and it is only a matter of time before he alienates you, too. And I didn't see any attempt at stifling free speech. All I saw was the opinion, which I happen to agree with, that if you are going to be critical of people posting anonymously, then you should have the balls to post your own real name publicly. I don't care if Badwater Bill or who else knows your true identity, nor do I care so much who you really are. But if you insist on being a hypocrite, you should expect to be called one. You probably have legitimate reasons for keeping your identity to yourself and most on this newsgroup are okay with that, but don't expect to be taken as seriously as somebody who hangs their name and credentials out for everybody to see. Despite Badwater Bill's shortcomings (and he's got em') he's ten times the American you are. I get along with him fine. Try using honey instead of vinegar all the time. One is known by the company he keeps. ---------------------------------------------------- Del Rawlins- Remove _kills_spammers_ to reply via email.

on 6/1/2004, pacplyer supposed :
I really can't believe you have a college education "Nobodybird." The real truth is as follows: You are completely anonymous. You say I am completely anonymous, yet you know I have a college education. Are you psychic, just sick or just an off the wall flake? But as usual, you misunderstand what's being said. As usual? I've only been known here for 4 or 5 posts. I have no USUAL anything, just yet. Being anonymous is not un-American. Thank you for repeaing MY position. You should take your own advice and ignore his posts. If you will be a little more attentive, you should notice I have not referenced or replied to any BWB posts....... i.e. I do ignore/shun him. But don't try to convince Jay or anyone else not to respond to open BWB posts because that's an attempt to stifle free speech. The single word SHUN should convey but one clearcut objective. You choose to SPIN it into a major biased ****storm in BWB's behalf, if you ask me. That makes you the real internet bully here. A bully is a person who is habitually cruel or overbearing, especially to smaller or weaker people. I'm not habitually anything since I've just made myself known and as you say.. am COMPLETELY ANONYMOUS. I guess it's just too threatening for you to realize that Bill does have friends. IMO, Bill just lost his last friend, John Ammeter. You are not his friend. IMO, you are an acquaintence. Despite Badwater Bill's shortcomings (and he's got em') he's ten times the American you are. Again, I am COMPLETELY UNKNOWN to you. You continue to make a buffoon of yourself, IMO. I get along with him fine. Try using honey instead of vinegar all the time. Please, give this loony tune a rest. I'm new here. I've yet to establish any parameters or character base since as you say.... I am COMPLETELY ANONYMOUS. These are just my opinions only. pacplyer - out Opinions? We agree at last. They sure ain't FACTS. - nobody - -- This is an automatic signature of MesNews. Site : http://mesnews.no-ip.com |
