I want to answer this post soooo badly..Wiz, the elections in USAAC are a joke, I was part of the usaac BOD and quit, everything was always predetermined before any votes were taken. Look at the minutes and see how many votes elected Kid. Plus Kid I?m sure nominated Skydancer then he would have Skydancer on his squad and in his pocket, oh yea, Sky is the other one of the 3 that goes undercover to hunt people. Look at what the USAAC works on, ?The Wall of Shame?, why not focus on getting 1 NEW PLAYER per week? Set some real goals?
I won't.. because I feel the 'voice' of the USAAC on other forums is our Director.
I do want to say that NOTHING was ever "predetermined" as far as I know. If it was .. I'm unaware of such as its being presented. If you are aware of otherwise .. please let me know.
Electing Kid was 100 % legit. The USAAC BoD can't do anything about FD reps never showing up at BoD meetings with the exception of Skydancer (he was FD at that time). If anyone knows differently.. please advise.
The nomination of Skydancer for Director was a group decision at the BoD meeting .. period. Even if Kid wanted Skydancer... we all voted .. we all had opportunity to vote for someone else. I don't understand putting something like that in public, it reminds me of Nitro rants.
To my knowledge .. everything the USAAC does is wide open and in public view, I know of no back room meeting or underhanded deals. Am I wrong?
As far as hunting folks .. sounds like some kind of conspiracy. I have never been approached to do such a thing .. and I don't know that it really does happen. Are you just "hunting" one person and in particular TZU? I have no knowledge of same.
The Wall of Shame.. is what he has to point out? Is this really a bad thing? I thought it was a good idea so WE as CO's etc would know if our pilots.. or potential members needed to be talked to , etc... Also, the Wall of Shame hardly has any entries on it .. so we either don't get the info .. or nothing really bad is happening out there. These things I don't know .. if you do .. you can shed some light on same? I feel the USAAC does a lot to get new pilots and "retain" pilots. I know for a FACT that the BSS works really hard to 'save' pilots .. and keep them in the game. I say 'save'.. as in get them out of FFA and away from the "bad guys" so they can know the real AA.. the camaraderie .. the nice things we all experience. I recently presented a plan for a USAAC Pilots School, last BoD meeting we didn't have time to explore that more .. but that is an effort for new pilots etc. Why would he attack the USAAC for Wall of Shame?? Its the actions of TZU and the 'dark ops' forces that run new pilots off faster than they can be brought into the game. The USAAC has advertising to bring in new pilots to the game that gets far more results than anything FD Squad does.. at any time. Something I'm missing??
What a blatant twisting of the truth. Does he really believe what he is saying?
Does TZU have a point about the Sys Ops? What I mean is that by reading the post on the UKAAC site it was pointed out that the US Community 'votes' on the sys ops that are assigned .. and that if we want a change we simply 'vote' and make the change. I have no knowledge that the USAAC or any US pilots 'vote' for any SysOps.. or that we have any input on same. If we do. . please enlighten me. As far as I know .. WE are told who the sysops are .. and that is that. There is no 'vote'. Any vote I know of is only done on the SysOps board .. and that is NOT available to US pilots .. and we as the USAAC BoD do not have a say in what the SysOps do or don't do. We have Temper to speak for the USAAC, but nothing further as far as I know. If any of this is not true.. please enlighten me.
I have no beef with any of the SysOps .. in fact I think they all do a good job. The only thing I have ever complained about is SysOps not flying a SysOps tag more often .. so we know the Cop's are walking the beat. Yes, we can go look up each sysops and see if they are on line etc... but nothing looks better than a uniformed police officer walking the beat.. its a feeling of 'security'.
It is unthinkable to 'me' to attack the sysops or people who volunteer tons of hours .. for free .. to take all the abuse etc.. and hardly ever be 'thanked' for the job they do. Unthinkable. Is there something I'm missing here?
As far as I know .. the USAAC .. the UKAAC.. and the GEAAC all work very well together and have a good working relationship. It is inferred within the given post mentioned this is not the case.. or at least the way I read it. Don't we have a good working relationship?? If not .. we should work to repair any damage ASAP ??
?? what the heck does this mean ??BTW, Skydancer please control your USAAC staff...
Do we as the USAAC BoD need to review where we are and what we do? Are we guilty of any of this? I think NOT . . and I can't answer that post .. so I thought I would ask YOU.. the current BoD.

Whatever you do, don't post a response to Tzu's rantings for that's what they are. He is now an unwelcome visitor to all three communities and there is no need to defend anything he attacks because his assaults are so patently ridiculous that any attempt to repudiate them would only give credence to his outpourings. As most folks have discovered in the arenas, the only way to deal with him is to ignore him in the hopes that he will eventually tire of insulting, baiting and the various other ways he has invented for causing disruption. If he is ignored he will have to find another venue for his diatribes; the Dr Phil show on television perhaps.

), I'm not gonna put too much stock in anything Tzu posts.
