Hey "frosty",

How about an apology brotha??? It wasn't that long ago that you called me every name in the book when I was critical of some of your "less than well thought out" antics with toy model jets...............I think that I have a copy of your post somewhere her in my comp where you layed out a bunch of us..............Do I need to refresh your memory?

As I have said for years, every time we post "cool"or "awesome" videos and photos of spectacular "incidents" we give some guy in a dark office the ammo to use against MY hobby................It is so easy to Google or Bing a lot of bad press already. We need not feed the fire.

Tailwinds,

John

Aparently required only a minor skin repair .

Johnny, I got your apology right here and I'm holdin all 2 inches of it. [&o] Would you like me to bring it to you or should I just hold on to it until we meet at an Event somewhere? Please refresh my memory and tell everyone all the bad and silly names that I called you that made you cry on that dreadful night of our friendship departure. I want to hear all about Frosty's bombings and high speed passes and other naughty things the baaaaad boy did. (please dont forget to tell everyone about the stuff I did with that fat girl at Brownies Camp when I was little) When your done I will tell the 'true' story since we are 're-living' the moment once again. This is really cool (not) that your making this post all about my bad things I did when in my naughty days instead of focusing on the real issues. I dont get embarrased too easily and no threat will make cry or loose sleep again. (been there and done that last year with the T Cook incident when people were calling me on unknown numbers saying that were goin to "slash my wife's brakelines with my 3 year old daughter in the van" and "she may never return home from work again if I continue to drop plastic BVM bombs on objects on the other side of the runway and ruin this hobby for others") I have been through hell and back in the last year so BELIEVE me when I say these RCU threads are the "minor" things in life to me. Lets git er dun! Fire away Johnny..........................................

Patrick,

You are talking out of both sides of your mouth again, if you really want to be part of the solution, don't be part of the problem. You are trying to make it sound like your little bombing incident is acceptable becasue #1 you did it, and #2 it happened on the far side of the runway. At the time you were a JPO rep, so supposed to be setting a good example for people, which obviously did not happen. Too many people see your actions as abrasive you come in here claiming to be trying to be concerned about the future of OUR hobby yet you bash everybody that questions you about what "we actually need to change about how we are doing things"

So when are you going to answer the question??? What do we need to change?

You guys have made THE RCU HEARTBEAT (TOP 15 Most Active Threads Last 24hrs). With a handy link on RCU's homepage for all of us non-Jet types to peak at your dirty laundry. I'm checking in here more often. This is better than my teenage daughters Twitter log.

Reid,

"Talking out both sides of your mouth again" Never heard that one before. First of all.....................lets get one thing straight since you and Johnny seems to think I was bombing a van at a Club Event. #1 .WHEN DID I HIT A VAN WITH A BVM PLASTIC BOMB? I never hit a van with my BVM Bombs. #2. WHERE YOU THERE? No, you were not present. #3. WHO WAS THERE? There was only about 5 people present since the event was over and it was very late in the afternoon on Sunday. Never the less................. I did not bomb a van. Dennis Michaels of "Go God Speed" WANTED me to bomb his van and drove his van across the field WHILE I was flying my BobCat. Thats much different than yours and John's story. But hey..............................you seem to know "your" story. The ***** fell on me because I made a joke about it.

I put my time in as an "Officer" with JPO and I still remain a member and will remain to do so. When did I ever throw my JPO position in front of anyone? Have you ever been a JPO Officer? I dont see you listed as an Officer. If you are better than everyone else here then why dont you apply for the job? It pays SOOOOOOO good! Sounds like you are the perfect example we all need to look at since you have been a BVM Rep and JetCat Rep longer than me. I say go for it.

You claim that I still have not given an example of "How we need to change". Go back and re-read post #29 and there you have it. I gave 3 exmaples. What are YOUR solutions? You choose to poke at me instead of focusing on the topic here. Thats fine and doesnt scare me away but why dont YOU contribute something to the hobby. Do you feel that the Hobby should continue JUST as it is doing? If you say, "Yes" then thats your choice to speak up. I feel differently about the topic.

That's OK Patrick. If you are not man enough to apologize, then so be it. It doesn't matter to me. I just thought that your little "come to Jesus" routine was bonafide................I'm sure the BVM crowd is proud to have you on board...............Well, at least until you reach your credit card limit.................

Fly Safe,

John

Patrick,

Yes I was a JPO Officer, I did both the website, and Contrails before you came along, that was during the time period when the Turbine regulations were in their infancy, and when everything turbine was a very negative encounter with the AMA. I fail to see where the current system is broken, in your post #29 you say we need to be more vocal I disagree I think some of us need to keep our mouths shut. It does not further the cause especially when it is someone that has admittedly acted in an unsafe manner. I could take your positive camments if I didn't have to read through a paragraph of insults. This will be my last post, it's gotten old.

Okay! After many complaints about the incredible off topic nature of this thread I'm going to shut this one down. RCU is NOT the place to air your dirty laundry. If you guys have issues with each other, handle them off line or in person.

Brg,
Mark
