US Hawks Board of Directors Testing in 2015
Bob Kuczewski - 2015/01/08 09:20:41 UTC

Hello Fellow US Hawks!!!

It's taken a few years to get this new organization off the ground, but I think we're starting to make some pretty solid training hill "flights" in our forum. I think we're ready to start practicing for the next phase of our growth ... a US Hawks Board of Directors.

Fortunately (or maybe unfortunately) many of us have seen what happened to the HGAA. We created - out of thin air - a "Transition Team" that was supposed to work together for about a month to found the new organization. I think that failed for two reasons. First, we really weren't used to working with each other, and we felt a lot of pressure to make something happen in an unreasonably short period of time. Second, I believe that some of the people on that "Transition Team" really didn't want the HGAA to succeed anyway. So they threw their own "monkey wrenches" into the works, and it crashed badly.

So having learned those lessons, I'd like to wade much more slowly into our own US Hawks Board of Directors. I'd like to propose that we form a Board and we have the Board work together for most of 2015 making decisions. But those decisions will only be advisory. I will still reserve the right to over-rule those decisions based on what I believe is best for the US Hawks. As time goes on, I'm hoping that I won't ever feel the need to use that "veto" power, and by the end of 2015 we'll hopefully be making all of our decisions by the US Hawks Board of Directors.

So, at this time, I'd like to ask for volunteers to experiment with this "Training Board" to see how it works. Please don't be shy. I'm hoping it will be a growth experience for all of us, and I'd like to get as much participation as possible. And since this Board is only advisory, please feel free to volunteer even if you're not sure you'd have the time to make a commitment to an actual Board.

Any thoughts?

Better yet ... any volunteers?

And here we are, Bob. Ten days into 2016 and a handpicked unelected Bob Show Fake Board of Director member still has exactly as much power on The Bob Show as your favorite unrepentant child molester did on the Bob, Jack, and Davis Shows.
Hello Fellow US Hawks!!!
fellow - a person in the same position, involved in the same activity, or otherwise associated with another
You don't have any fellows, Bob. It's just you and your pet cocksuckers.
It's taken a few years to get this new organization off the ground...
Oh? It's off the ground now? How are we supposed to be able to tell? What are we seeing substantively different from what we had on 2010/08/13?
...but I think we're starting to make some pretty solid training hill "flights" in our forum.
Make sure you stay upright and on those control tubes at all times so's you're always prepared to safely land that thing.
I think we're ready to start practicing for the next phase of our growth ... a US Hawks Board of Directors.
So I'll appoint one and make sure that they can't make any poor decisions that could get anybody injured.
Fortunately (or maybe unfortunately) many of us have seen what happened to the HGAA. We created - out of thin air - a "Transition Team" that was supposed to work together for about a month...
A really good time period...

Discuss Tad here
Bob Kuczewski - 2011/12/09 21:58:14 UTC

Starting today (December 9th, 2011), I've restricted Tad to only posting in the "Free Speech Zone". I plan to continue that restriction for about a month to see if that helps or hurts general participation in the rest of the forum.
...for testing ideas. If one were to specify exactly one month then one would risk getting experimental results inconsistent with one's predictions and/or desires. When one specifies "for about a month" the experiment can continue for as many years or decades as it takes to prove that two plus two equals seventeen.
...to found the new organization. I think that failed for two reasons.
That you had a bunch of sociopathic dickheads spearheading the movement and...
First, we really weren't used to working with each other and...
...sociopathic dickheads are inherently incapable with working with other sociopathic dickheads anyway.
...we felt a lot of pressure to make something happen in an unreasonably short period of time.
1. So my plan here is to do the precise opposite...

The Hawks has no product. There is no there, there.
Make goddam certain that nothing of any substance ever happens for the rest of eternity.
Second, I believe that some of the people on that "Transition Team" really didn't want the HGAA to succeed anyway. So they threw their own "monkey wrenches" into the works, and it crashed badly.
Yeah Bob. Just like:

2. And the fact that from the get-go your new association was totally infested with known and obvious lying scumbags that I wouldn't allow within a hundred miles of Kite Strings had ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with the collapse.
So having learned those lessons, I'd like to wade much more slowly into our own US Hawks Board of Directors.
Good idea, Bob. And make sure what you're wading into isn't very deep. Wet grass for another five years or so then maybe a puddle or two - but nothing you can't easily hop over if necessary.
I'd like to propose that we...
And we all know exactly who Emperor Bob means whenever he uses the pronoun "we".
...form a Board and we...
We've already established that pronoun as the subject of the sentence, Bob. Did we really need to duplicate it?
...have the Board work together for most of 2015 making decisions.
Really ground shaking decisions like making the late Dan Poynter an Honorary member of U.S. Hawks.
But those decisions will only be advisory.
Oh. So the Bob Show Board that you totally stacked yourself with zero input from anything remotely resembling even the electorate of assholes you permit to participate in your dump won't have any more actual power than Steve Davy or T** at K*** S******.
I...
Meaning "We".
...will still reserve the right to over-rule those decisions based on what I believe is best for the US Hawks.
Really hard to beat a dictatorship for accomplishing stuff the dictator wants accomplished.

But really, Bob... All ya need to do is to never present to your Fake Board an issue that might be decided contrary to what you want / only present issues in which you're one hundred percent certain will be decided in favor of your position. You'll be totally OK.
As time goes on...
...about a month probably...
...I'm hoping that I won't ever feel the need to use that "veto" power...
I think if you make sure that no issues of any substance or consequence are never brought before the Fake Board you'll be fine.
...and by the end of 2015 we'll hopefully be making all of our decisions by the US Hawks Board of Directors.
Or, failing that, as we just have, hopefully by the end of 2016. Or maybe by the beginning of 2017. What the hell, just make it in about a month.
So, at this time, I'd like to ask for volunteers to experiment with this "Training Board" to see how it works.
How's it working, Bob?

Review of Tad Eareckson's Ban from US Hawks
Bob Kuczewski - 2015/02/17 04:06:03 UTC

US Hawks Board Members,

I had promised Tad that a review of his ban would be brought before the US Hawks Board of Directors as soon as the Board was formed. So I am posting this request as the first issue to be considered for discussion and decision by the Board.

I am posting this as a member of the US Hawks (and not as a Board Member), and it is my recommendation - as a member - that the Board make the decision to defer this discussion for some number of months (2 to 6) so that the Board can get used to operating as a Board before making a decision that may significantly change the experience of all of our users on the forum.

Thank you for your time.

Respectfully Submitted,
Bob Kuczewski
Member of the US Hawks
You and your pet douchebags gain some valuable experience in fucking over individuals who challenge what you're doing by pulling their plugs, making totally false and disingenuous promises, establishing lifetime bans on bullshit premises, interpreting cowardly dead silence as total agreement with your sleazy cowardly actions?
Please don't be shy.
Yeah, Bob Show cocksuckers. It's not like you'll ever actually hafta DO anything.
I'm hoping it will be a growth experience for all of us...
Like the abdominal tumor I had back in '83 before they chemoed it and cut it out.
...and I'd like to get as much participation as possible.
And remember, Bob Show cocksuckers - Emperor Bob considers one hundred percent inaction as the most valuable of participation.
And since this Board is only advisory...
Fake. With zero prospect of anything more on the horizon.
...please feel free to volunteer even if you're not sure you'd have the time to make a commitment to an actual Board.
They needn't worry. They WILL have time.
Any thoughts?
Yeah. Suck my dick.
Better yet ... any volunteers?
Ditto for all you douchebags who participate in this charade and lend this sociopathic motherfucker the appearance of legitimacy.

And down Scott and soon to be down Joe leaving two cocksuckers with and, still after a bit shy of five years and five months, one cocksuckee still in total control of everything.

Meanwhile I was Second In Command with a founding body of two and Kite Strings started executing its stated mission on Day One and there've been zero legitimate complaints regarding the execution in its five year plus history.

P.S. People of varying ages...

You'll notice that Emperor Bob has never established any Fake Bylaws/SOPs for his Fake Board of Directors. Like who these Board members are supposed to be representing, what constitutes a quorum, happens in the event of a tie vote on an issue in which Emperor Bob has no interest. If one were legitimately interested in something other than a dictatorship controlled by himself wouldn't one have that kinda stuff on the books even before stacking his Board with pet cocksuckers?

Tell ya this again, Bob - just in case you haven't already totally figured this out... You're never gonna get the hoped for groundswell of revulsion motivated public support playing the child molester card (à la Davis Dead-On Straub, Jim Keen-Intellect Rooney). And the few assholes who DO attempt to form some facsimile of a chorus will tend to be clueless and clumsy hypocrites and closet cases. And you can take that to the fuckin' bank.

I once said something to the effect of people not wanting to deal with you because you're like a mad dog that will bite anyone. You might consider this latest exchange in that context.
I'll bite any motherfucker who tells me that two plus two is a matter of opinion and his is as good as anyone else's - and infinitely better than the opinion of anyone insisting that it's four. And, unfortunately, that describes 99.9 percent of the participants in the sport. And the motherfuckers DEFINITELY don't wanna deal with me 'cause they KNOW *I'M* gonna deal with THEM - much as I'd so much rather be dealing with the two-plus-two-equals-four sector.

And YOU might consider that your ol':

Tad's Bob Show forum topic isn't devoted to tearing you down, Bob, any more than your testimony for which you were expelled was factual and truthful. A good deal of what he posts in that thread is in your favor.
You don't find a lotta people in this sport who alternate between tearing others down and giving them heavy covering fire, Bob. Not very consistent with your idea of a mad dog either. Maybe you should take a look to see if there's anything in the way of logic and consistency to the pattern.

US Hawks - Sea to Shining Sea
Rick Masters - 2016/01/16 18:07:13 UTC

We recognize that hang gliding is a dangerous sport.
Really? What with Emperor Bob and Fake Board of Directors Members Bob Kuczewski and Bill Cummings having declared stalls to be totally benign I'd have thunk that hang gliding would be a sport no more dangerous than checkers. Long as one isn't stupid enough to raise his wing into the turbulent jet stream just prior to launch, of course. But nobody worth mentioning does that anyway.
It is not for children.
People of varying ages, ya mean? Bit confused here... The FAA is fine with people of the varying age of fourteen soloing sailplanes in which stalls are known to be lethal. Shouldn't hang gliding thus be as safe as checkers for people of the varying age of ten or so?
Scott C. Wise - 2016/01/17 07:24:12 UTC

I can't agree more, Rick!
There ya go, Bob. Uncontradicted statements from a Bob Show Dickhead in Excellent Standing and former Bob Show Fake Board of Directors member that hang gliding is inherently unsafe and cannot be made safer and that people of ages varying below eighteen have no place in it and that any and/or their parents or guardians, including those who themselves may have advanced hang gliding ratings, who feel differently can go fuck themselves.

So...

If I boot you permanently it will be due to my concerns over the topic we discussed on the phone. This forum should be a safe place for people of varying ages to visit. You have not given me any assurances that's true with you on this forum.
It makes no difference whatsoever whether or not The Bob Show is CRAWLING with unrepentant child molesters. It cannot, by definition, be made a safe place for people of varying ages to visit. It could inspire a person of a varying age to take a lesson at Dockweiler with Joe Greblo, go for a truck tow with Sam Kellner, lift his wing into the turbulent jet stream just prior to launch, build a glider for his seventh grade science project and test fly it off a cliff in the Canyonlands area.

So now tell me again what your justification for booting me permanently was. Wanting The Bob Show to be a safe place for people of varying ages to visit or the revisionist posting of abusive, obscene, vulgar, slanderous, hateful, threatening, sexually-orientated or any other material that may violate any laws be it of your country, the country where "US Hawks Hang Gliding Association" is hosted or International Law crap?
Hang glider pilots make up a unique community.
Top quality individuals each and every one!
A community that strives to achieve the identical kind of freedom as our Nation's Symbol is meant to represent! Freedom and Liberty!
And...

...FOCUS! (Attention Bald Eagles of varying ages... Under Bob Show SOPs the minimum fledge age has been raised from ten weeks to four years.)
Recreational hang gliding holds the very essence of our National spirit.
Yeah!

When I say that I want absolutely nothing to do with him, I am not exaggerating. The simple fact that he's on your forum means that I will not participate at all.
I am REALLY REALLY PROUD to be held in that regard by you. Reminds me a great deal of:

I've spoken with Tad many times on the phone, and several times he's made the assertion that his presence on this forum is actually contributing to the growth of the US Hawks. I do agree that Tad has brought some people to this forum, but at the same time, I also know that he's driven (or kept) many other people away. So I haven't been able to tell if his presence is beneficial or not.

During my recent cross-country drive, I had the chance to speak with Tad again on this topic, and he again asserted that his presence (and posts) were contributing to the growth of the US Hawks more than they were harming it. So I've decided to put that assertion to the test.

Starting today (December 9th, 2011), I've restricted Tad to only posting in the "Free Speech Zone". I plan to continue that restriction for about a month to see if that helps or hurts general participation in the rest of the forum. This restriction is not intended to be any judgement on Tad or on the value of his posts. Instead, it's intended to simply answer the question as to whether Tad's presence is helping or hurting the growth of the US Hawks and the US Hawks forum (a question he posed himself). At the end of the month, I'll review the results of this restriction to see if our forum participation (measured in posting rates) has increased or not.

All comments are welcome (either here, by PM, or in the Free Speech Zone). Thanks.
...was a total load o' crap - big fuckin' surprise. At the time you'd TEMPORARILY booted me and had obviously already determined to permanently boot me and were just setting up a smoke screen to give the illusion that you were considering and wrestling with issues.
If I boot you permanently it will be due to my concerns over the topic we discussed on the phone. This forum should be a safe place for people of varying ages to visit. You have not given me any assurances that's true with you on this forum.
So at that point you'd already determined to boot me PERMANENTLY 'cause you only want people who will kiss your ass and play nicely with your handpicked douchebags on the island and could use a personal relationship I'd had a quarter century prior as justification. So this:

The Bob Show
Bob Kuczewski - 2011/12/16 20:50:32 UTC

I think this topic is mostly done. It was a sad ending, and I wish it had turned out differently.

But I did want to address Warren's comments on double jeopardy. We have a system of justice that requires people to "pay" for their crimes. Sometimes that payment is money, sometimes it's service, sometimes it's jail, and sometimes it's even death. But along with the notion of "paying" there should also be some level of remorse indicating a willingness to not repeat the offense. That's what Tad never exhibited, and that's what concerned me the most. Tad's unwillingness to admit he was wrong (in this very obvious case) was symptomatic of all the problems we've had with Tad in many other areas. His refusal to condemn his own conduct also made it difficult to have him on a forum where we do not screen people based on their age.
transparent total CRAP is confirmed as the total crap it was and is. You said PERMANENTLY and you meant PERMANENTLY and all the remorse indicating a willingness to not repeat the offense, admission that I was wrong (in this very obvious case), condemnation of my own conduct on a forum where we do not screen people based on their age on the fuckin' planet would make no difference whatsoever. (And just a reminder here that you hypocritical Nazi motherfuckers will get an ounce of that bullshit from me well after hell has frozen over.)

Meanwhile, even after the most grotesque and repeated flagrant violations of the simple, clearly stated, and very liberal Kite Strings terms of conduct you've been unbanned and have had full member access for a bit shy of fourteen months now.

And if you admitted to and apologized for all the bullshit everyone and his dog knows you were and are pulling and pledged to start behaving honestly and decently I WOULD invite you to participate as well. But we both know very well...

dhmartens wrote:hanggliding.org tanslates uskawks to losreville.org
And how remarkably well dhmartens wrote it, Bob.
For many years, the person who runs hangglidng.org (Jack Axaopoulos or "sg") has had a filter in place to change any reference to "ushawks.org" into "loserville.org".

Why?

It turns out that Google ranks web sites based partially on which other sites link to that site. They further weight those links based on the popularity of the site containing the link. So a link to US Hawks from hanggliding.org is given much higher weight than a link from kitestrings.org.

I don't think Google's weighting algorithm is public information, but it's highly likely that it will severely discount any hang gliding sites that don't contain even a single link from a popular site like hanggliding.org. Jack Axaopoulos knows that, and that's why his software ensures that no one can post even a single link to the US Hawks on hanggliding.org. Jack's tactic is manipulative of Google's ranking system and it shows that he is more driven by building his empire than by providing hang gliding information to pilots who use his site.
Who gives a flying fuck? Both of our sites are well established on the map and neither of us has any use for or expectation of the bozos who google "hang gliding" to find out what it's all about.
The bottom line is that hanggliding.org will only reflect what Jack Axaopoulos will permit you to know.
And The Bob Show will only reflect a segment willing to toe the line of a perpetual dictatorship posing as a democratic Utopia.
