Yea, that is pretty funny. This forum has about 10,000 posts with nearly 8,000 by Tad. Even without his minions, that would make this a pretty big topic.miguel wrote:
Thank you, but we haven't yet - by a fairly long shot. Speaking of which, it would be most helpful if you restored an avatar for your profile. Looks like you just deleted the corrupted whatever-it-was which was left in the wake of the transition/restoration. Our site might look and you'd get to advertise what you want a little better.I'm glad to see that you've recovered from your TapaCrap attack.
Quite welcome.Thanks also for your words of appreciation for my help.
Probably not in the product we now see but it did in my understanding of how these things work.I don't know if it actually made any difference...
I knew long before now. I knew while you were giving it....but I think you know now that I was giving you solid advice and information...
Except, of course, when the safety of Bob Show people of varying ages may be an issue. I'd be able to identify them when no one could and communicate with them via Personal Messaging - legally, by the way. And one can only imagine in absolute horror what scenarios would virtually inevitably progress from there. Well, I actually CAN'T, Bob. Maybe you could give us some possible scenario that wouldn't have everybody laughing their asses off. Something with some grain of foundation in the REAL world.I may not agree with what you say, but I'll defend your right to say it.
...deal effectively with Tad. And I'd really like to hear your comment on that take from one of your most valued members, Bob. Was it really about protecting people of varying ages from me or dealing effectively with me? I think you really owe it to your minio... membership to make the moral purity of your actions perfectly unambiguously clear. I know I would if there were a similar situation here.Rick Masters - 2015/01/16 18:59:15 UTC
He has concerns about people trying to muck up the forum, but he has also dealt effectively with Tad.
Me too. I've been pretty burned out since figuring out what was really going in with the sport and why. But I keep plugging along anyway.As for my participation here, I think I'm pretty burned out.
And just think how swimmingly it would've worked out all the active Kite Strings members who are active flyers and aren't also Bob Show members jumped on board with everything you want to say and do.I came here to try to combine forces on breaking USHPA's monopoly, but it hasn't worked out very well.
Yet it wasn't too deep for monumental efforts on your behalf concerning your arrests at the Torrey Gliderport and expulsion from u$hPa. Go figure.Maybe the resentment is too deep.
OK, let's deal with your two previous posts in this topic you launched. Tad's minions all have Moderator powers on The Tad Show. What kinds of actual powers do highly valued and respected US Hawks members - like Scott C. Wise, Rick Masters, Bill Cummings - who aren't Bob have?Carry on ...
Good luck.This topic is intended as a dumping ground for off-topic posts by Tad and his minions that appear throughout this forum.
Do you know what that word is, what it means, how to pronounce it?Yea...

Yea, someone else pointed that out to me. That's some weird stuff. A window into the mind of a madman.
(Rhetorical question.)Ryan Voight - 2016/04/17 04:48:42 UTC
Now I might suggest any additional discussion about "run more toward the lifting wing"... or about why a weight-shift flex wing hang glider rolls when we move our ass... we should take it to another thread, yea?
http://www.hanggliding.org/viewtopic.php?t=7174...that is pretty funny.

HAY, do you know what a powered paraglider sounds like at idle?
Jegg, Jebb, Jebb, Jebb.....yea, I know, It's only a tad funny.
A nanosecond before you clicked submit on this one there were precisely 10641 posts on the forum with 7909 of them by Yours Truly. So there were about 11000 posts total and a bit over 7900 by Tad if you wanna round off. But with the data so easily accessible how come you don't just use the precise figures? 'Cause it's more fun to round things the wrong way to shade things in favor of your positions?This forum has about 10,000 posts with nearly 8,000 by Tad.
Care to clearly and individually identify those whom you consider my minions? Just kidding. 'Cause your game plan is to always stay so vague that you minimize the number of people you're gonna alienate and count on people hearing from you what they wanna hear.Even without his minions...

The Hawks has no product. There is no there, there.
Name a glider forum in which that's not the case. And do please remember what you did to the posts of Tad's and Steve's...I started this topic out of frustration with the USHPA Monopoly topic which was continually dragged all over the place. That would be tolerable if it were at least consistent, but the moving of posts appears to be at the moderators' whims.
...upon the request of your Pigfucker Sam buddy.Bob Kuczewski - 2011/10/20 06:02:42 UTC
This topic contains posts which have been banned from the SW Texas Hang Gliders Forum at the request of their President.
This post is a log of the activities required for that removal.
October 20, 2011 - Began removal of all posts by TadEareckson.
October 20, 2011 - Finished removal of all posts by TadEareckson.
Yeah, we know. It's just that there's no indication that anybody besides you give's a rat's ass. And that's 'cause the management of your posts wasn't done to obscure meaning or sabotage continuity.A number of mine were removed from their original location and dumped in the "Bob Show" topic (the inspiration for this topic's name).
Well, if it's consistency ya really want...I've spoken with Tad about more consistent moderation...
Hard to beat Wrapped and Tied 130 pound Greenspot weak link loops. Great at:Dr. Trisa Tilletti - 2012/06
Actually, that is our expectation of performance for weak links on hang gliders here at Cloud 9, too. Primarily, we want the weak link to fail as needed to protect the equipment, and not fail inadvertently or inconsistently. We want our weak links to break as early as possible in lockout situations, but be strong and reliable enough to avoid frequent weak link breaks from turbulence. It is the same expectation of performance that we have for the weak links we use for towing sailplanes.
Yeah? So what did you think about that paragraph of Trisa's from the magazine? Oh, right. You have very little experience with towing so you couldn't possibly comment....but that's pretty funny too.
I didn't delete anything, and I'm just about done with this forum. So that missing avatar is appropriate.Tad Eareckson wrote:it would be most helpful if you restored an avatar for your profile.

How prescient of you.I'm just about done with this forum.
Good match for the Member who was extremely belatedly banned 2012/05/07 12:38:07 UTC and the Guest who was most recently unplugged 2017/11/13 05:09:22 UTC.So that missing avatar is appropriate.
And I've restored the topic title, locked the "restart", eliminated the bandwidth wasting duplicate text from the first restart post, moved the three new original posts to the topic in which they belonged, left the empty topic locked while I decide what to do with the space.I've prefixed the former monopoly topic with "NOT about" and restarted the original.
I have got 81 topics to deface with my drivel and do with whatever the fuck I feel like doing with them.So now you've got a topic to deface with your drivel and another to allow to stay on topic.
I predict that me AND my minions will start defacing them both at the earliest opportunities.I predict you (or your minions) will end up defacing them both.
Who said anything about me WANTING to resist anything?It's a compulsion that you can't resist.
I hope so. 'Cause watching is now your only option.It will be fun to watch.
Consider the title "Jack Assholes (no apostrophe) Idiot Asylum" as a replacement....left the empty topic locked while I decide what to do with the space.
