There's nothing to see here. Move along...

Post by Brown Bear »

Really. Perhaps it's just me, but is there anything here worth my while? I check in once in a while to see if anything intelligent has been posted since my last visit. Usually, it's just the same bitching and moaning. I'll just move along....

That should pretty much be the "kiss of death" for this thread.

Nothing to see, other than somebody wasting our time so wonderfully illustrating his rather suspect point.

Do show us something "interesting," all I see is part of a problem.... yawn is right.

OK, hey!

Let's spice it up!

Have you ever busted minimums, Brown Bear? No?

Tell us a cool flying story then! Hey, it might teach us something!

I'm serious.

If you tell me yours, I'll tell you mine! (bonus points if it has to do with peameal bacon :P )

So there I was, looking at where "Outer Point" should be. It was only 1.5 miles away, but couldn't see it. No flying for now.

Went and grabbed a cup of coffee, hit on the extremely tall midget barista; then being the wannabe slut I am, went to the company nextdoor and hit on their dispatcher. Asked her out on a date. The rest is history.

Saying no to flying can lead to good things.

Minimums??? What is that??? When you're up there in the sh*t, you have to put her down sometimes and somehow, and yourself with her... Minimums mean nothing then... :roll:

Socrates' Filter Test: Keep this in mind next time you are about to repeat a rumour, spread gossip or post drivel on Avcanada...

In ancient Greece (469 - 399 BC), Socrates was widely lauded for his wisdom.

One day an acquaintance ran up to him excitedly and said, "Socrates, do you know what I just heard about Diogenes?"

"Wait a moment," Socrates replied, "Before you tell me I'd like you to pass a little test. It's called the Triple Filter Test."

'Triple filter?" asked the acquaintance.

"That's right," Socrates continued, "Before you talk to me about Diogenes let's take a moment to filter what you're going to say. The first filter is Truth. Have you made absolutely sure that what you are about to tell me is true?"

"No," the man said, "Actually I just heard about it."

"All right," said Socrates, "So you don't really know if it's true or not. Now let's try the second filter, the filter of Goodness. Is what you are about to tell me about Diogenes something good?"

"No, on the contrary..."

"So," Socrates continued, "You want to tell me something about Diogenes that may be bad, even though you're not certain it's true?"

The man shrugged, a little embarrassed. Socrates continued, "You may still pass the test though, because there is a third filter, the filter of Usefulness. Is what you want to tell me about Diogenes going to be useful to me?"

"No, not really."

"Well," concluded Socrates, "If what you want to tell me is neither True nor Good nor even useful, why tell it to me or anyone at all?"

The man was bewildered and ashamed. This is an example of why Socrates was a great philosopher and held in such high esteem.

It also explains why Socrates never found out that Diogenes was $ucking his wife.

BB

It seems to me that most of the posters are happy most of the time with how the moderators are doing their job. I don't think it will ever get better than that and therefore I do not think your views represent the majority opinion, and they certainly don't represent mine for what that is worth (which of course is precisely 00 dollars and 00 cents). I would respectfully suggest your attempt to influence the policies at this site have not met with a lot of support and therefore perhaps it is time to reevaluate what you want out of your participation on avcanada..........

The lil beggar was talking smack about Birddog.. which was totally acceptable, he deserves it, especially since he left us all to raise goats in tibet and ride around on the yak he bought from an ex russian ilyushin driver. But then he went off on some random tangent about edited.. so I had to do what any real dyed in the wool german auto driver would do... and set his bag aflame.

Its no good on cereal but mixes well with the morning tea!

I'm not drunk.. yet... Just a bit annoyed that we've lost so many great members recently, and some of the more prolific ones from the olden days.

Where is W squared? Altiplano (he pops up occasionally) carnie? Desksgo? Haz, Wha Happen, LostInRotation, Scubasteve, twotter, FluckMachine, MarkTheOne, .? Ohh and Snowgoose? I totally miss that guy..

I see KAG occasionally posting.. but man.. the tone has changed so much. So I'm only gonna post two types of replies from now on.. Factual and useful info that cant be misconstrued or argued with and complete random BS like this.

How long till ma thread gits pulled for the seriously amazing and ridiculous title????? Widow? STL? JC? Lil? who's it gonna be :)

Lots of users come and go.

Some of them are really gone, maybe because they have a life outside of AvCanada that started to be more important than their post count.

Others may have used up their "anonymity" and now post under other usernames.

There are lots of users I miss, but I've also noticed a few new users who have a lot of insight and personality to share too.

Such is the nature of the intrawebs ;)

But you are right, I don't like the title of the thread! But I figure you need to let off some steam. So .... instead of locking or deleting, I'm going to merge it with another. How 'bout brown bears' "nothing to see here" thread?!

Thanks for coming out to play!
