JR, Its my job here to Moderate the forums,,, I never admited to knowing all about AMA or to post opinions about AMA like you have done in the past.
A person such as you and your wealth of Opinions about AMA and How it should work, You should really consider it is all I am saying,, since there's a posibility that the rules are gonna change.
I just sort of figured if you can Talk the Talk,,, you should be able to Walk the Walk! You were even given the chance to be on the Board at the club we both fly at,,, but you turned that down too,,, and yet you complain the loudest here and there at the field we both fly at.
So Since you have Zero intrest, why do you even Bother or is it that you just like stirring the pot?

Ok, Bill, I had suggested several times, privately, that we leave the personal stuff off RCU, but, you insist, so here we go.
First, I spent 7 years on the Board of a club. The Pasadena Soaring Society. That was enough.
I don't see you doing anything for the club except breaking it's rules and endangering others with your bad field manners. YOU, as a National Competitor should know what the Safety Code is an obey it. You should be the role model. Is it that you don't think the rules apply to National Competitors? Building a $5000 plane for a newbie, for pay, and then letting it crash due to incorrectly charged batteries is unforgivable, in my opinion. Suggesting to a pilot at our field that he try to knock my plane out of the air with his is not just dangerous, it's juvenile. When you clearly libel a modeler the way you did in our newsletter and accuse him in no uncertain terms of being a thief, without documentation to back it up, you bet I am going to complain and insist you apologize. Why don't YOU do something for the hobby that gives you so much and quit just taking? Tell me your not a moderator here, just for the money.
I try to do several things on here. The most important to me is to correct misconceptions that others have about the AMA with facts, which I try to give sources for. I also voice my opinion from time to time. I try to give reasons why someone else should see things as I do. Occasionally, facts come to me that are so obnoxious that I do complain. Unless someone throws me off here, I will have my say about those issues. If you see that all as complaining, so be it.
Don't accuse me of attacking you, you started this and refused to keep our differences private. Even at our field, you can not keep your mouth shut. I have not bad mouthed you there, as you have done to me. Think about it, Bill.
