Why would someone get upset because you disagree with Bob Violet? I see all the BVM bashing stuff, cracks me up... Is Bob Violet like the God Father of the Jet mafia?? One of his LT's gonna rub someone out for cursing him on the internet??
Sucks for a rook like me, people are so biased in here due to which product they favor....Not sure you are gonna get straight info.. I'll keep plugging along.

Nobody is lashing out on Uncle Bob but believe you me, he will not quote anything unless he 100% strongly believes it.
Unfortunately this is the first time I will publicly disagree with him and I hope everybody takes it in the spirit it was given.

Is it really worth opening up another thread to quote me instead of chiming in on the original thread which you could easily find here: http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_3351369/tm.htm
FWIW, I find this new thread to be utterly useless.
Closing this one……. Nah!!!!!!!, I will not give you that satisfaction (lol)
JMOHO.

Lots of people are DIEHARD BVM fans and will brook no criticism of anything he does and says, and if you dare criticise him, you may face their wrath. Up close and personal, HE himself is not like that, but he believes what he beleives, sincerely, and I don't think he means any ill to anyone. For that matter, you generally don't hear him saying anything bad about anyone. But be aware that even very well-respected people like David Gladwin, when they dare to offer even the slightest criticism, they get pummeled. So you did not misinterpret what was being said. As far as actual rubouts, well, I have never WITNESSED one, but I have heard rumors...

You'll pay for that! You do not take B*b's name in vain!
You know what's worse?
GWS fans. Go over to rcgroups and see all the rabid fans of Mr. Lin, the GWS guy. You don't DARE say anything critical of Mr. Lin, they are like Moonies in their fawning worship of him and his $50 foam planes...they make the BVMheads look positively timid. Big difference, though, is BVM fliers generally have a clue of what they are talking about, GWS fans don't, and if BV Models are the top end of modelling quality, well, GWS is the exact opposite corner. The GWS guy is the OPPOSITE of Bob, too. Bob stays away from posting, Mr. Lin posts about 100 times a day. It's wild, you have to see it.
I call then Linmings.
