Giving this much attention to the matter only makes it worse. When someone acts like this, the best thing to do is simply ignore it. They will realize their behavior is not getting them anywhere and will either go away out of boredom or decide to contribute in a positive and mature manner.

I'm guessing the only reason it's gotten so much attention is that we have nothing else to talk about lately....... NO ONE HAS BEEN FLYING!!!!! Sad It's no wonder people are coming out swinging. Spring spring where are you?!?!?

As some one who knows noman very well, I have to say,,,, It"s really too bad most of you guys don't get it... It's all a joke! When he's saying all that stuff & making stupid posts, he's smiling & laughing... like the class clown at school! And yes he is a rebel. He loves to stir things up! You guys are taking all this way too seriously. Can you guys handle a class clown here? If not, it;s too bad 'cuz he can be a lot of fun & is a well respected pilot in our club. To all you guys who laughed back... Bravo !!! Laughing

That's great Lizard...I love a jokester myself. But, how many people are just lurking around this site and thinking that everyone here is nuts, when all they see is childish behavior??

I'm sure noman is a nice guy. But, insert smily, insert wink, insert a damn emoticon, then we'll know it's a joke and so will the lurkers who might be attracted to this sport and searching for valuable info on here.


btw, Welcome Lizard!!! thumbsup

no vote from me either.....but chill out man is all I can say.....go take a break, a nap, a b-hit...something.....
why can't we all just get along? This should be fun right?

When I first read the PG video idea I thought it wouldn't be fair unless you showed just as many HG mishaps, or you just showed a PG flying for some amount of time (with maybe some problems in the air) and then showed a HG flying for the same amount of time in the same air-location......(seems like a lot of work when there is youtube with the search function) but I think thats what you would have to do to be fair and I still think that would be a great video clip...
...videos are great and just made up of lots of pictures so if one picture is worth a 1000 words, how many words are in a 2 min video at 30 fps? =3,600,000 words (hummm, I hope it's a good one).

Ahhhh, . . . I know this "Hit" Man*, . . .


(* All I need is enough info on location. Cool )


As far as web forums go, this is the closest thing to a school shooting. Take his "guns" away and "neutralize" him. Sometimes, with some people, silence is golden. (I should know)

We (forum) already have class clowns, (kk lobido tb all come to mind) Being funny in a group and being funny to your self at the expense of the group are two different things. Trolling and flaming are no nos here.

I'm not voting, this ain't a democracy.

Okay, daydreamer you've convinced me!! Boot his sorry butt. That is just acting like Dweebis. Playing people for sport and fun. Based on what you said, I don't care to meet him or to get to know him.

I prefer honest up front people that know how to act and show respect to others. Realizing in return that they will be treated in a like manner. And just like Dweebis, he aint' worth the time or effort. wtf

dievhart u r 1 of the first guys 2 respond with a idea that is unbiased and i think that is cool i want every one to know im a haglider pilot and will not fly a para but i like the para guys and girls because they love what i love flying.the original idea was 2 quit talking about why we wont fly them and show why we wont fly them but the site monitor and a underling decided it was not worth talking about anymore and pushed me aside im trying to educate and they were no help

noman,

No man makes a point worse than you. Games are for children. Speak your mind in an intelligent manner or be out of it* all by yourself. No matter what your age, you are simply a spoiled child.

". . . a poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more: it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing."


Tolerance is fine when something is tolerable. SG, we're being PC when it's simply time to snuff out the flame(r).


(* your mind)

I vote to move this topic to the USHpA forum or at least the campfire. This has nothing to do with HGing and presents the participants in the sport in a bad light to people lurking around here just trying to find some forthright info on the sport.

This is childish!!!!

Please ignore him and stop this thread now. The fat little bugger is sitting there enjoying every word. Probably is Davis.

Any chance Noman got hacked or something?
Some little snot found his password, and started making him look like an arse?
Kind of like when a friend gets a hold of another friends facebook page, and changes it to make them look like a flaming homosexual - except everyone knows its fake, and its funny as heck.
What nomans doing isn't funny, and if someone is impersonating him, it appears to be out of malice, not humor.

I can't reconcile a "good guy" in person with the actions he's taking online any other way.

If his account information is in someone elses possession, it might be good to shut it down for a week to straighten it out.

Could Noman post a PM to Iron Maiden, with some sort of information that could verify his identity?
