A couple of tips

[Hooknswoop 19]

for dealing with me:

1) If you are going to report me to the USPA, go ahead, I’m not a member.

2) If you are going to report me to the FAA, make sure I violated an FAR first or you are just wasting everyone’s time.

3) If you want to take a swing at me, take a swing, don’t wait until after I leave and tell everyone you want to take a swing at me.

BTW, staying at Copper first weekend in March if you aren't working at your cool new job, maybe get in some boarding.

Never look down on someone, unless they are going down on you.

Here's a tip...

Pay closer attention to your own Tip #3 and take it up with the person you have the problem with, and skip the drama by ranting to everyone else.

What fun is that?

Edited to add: Public humiliation in a subtle kind of way (like this) is a pretty reasonable response if the facts are as presented.

"Practice what you preach" comes to mind with his Tip #3, and it is hard to publicly humiliate an anonymous person.

Y'know, this brings up something that continues to be an issue for me.

I think who starts it really does matter. If someone wants to be an aggressor, that's fine, but no calling foul when the intended victim fights back in an unexpected way.

It drives me insane when people say "it takes two." Sometimes that is true, but very often it is not. Sometimes it just takes one screwed-up and abusive person. Self-defense is not a crime.

As for humiliating an anonymous person, I can only say that anonymity is usually never exactly that. The person will know if he reads here, and he will also know that there are others who are in on the full story. And that will rankle.

Sometimes, it's enough. And under the circumstances, it's fitting. Logical consequences. A taste of one's own medicine. Let the punishment fit the crime.

Makes sense, but consider this:
If he confronts the guy it could move from the verbal to the physical. Bad ju-ju. Possible arrest for assault; possible job loss; possible busted schnoz.
If he punches a wall, possible broken hand.
Raging here just might peacefully release enough angry energy so he can get on with life. Passive-aggressive sometimes works.

HUM, I think I should report you for attempting to hide from us. I miss you guys.

Hugs and Kisses and cold ones all around. I still have the pic of the tree of us in Eloy a few years back....something about using those tools to cut off a bra

Wow, in reference to #3, I think the major point here is;

If you have something to say, say it to me, don't wait until I leave, blurt out all kinds of crazy statements and then add things like, "he better be glad he's gone or I would..." ect.

Discuss openly your issues, work out the answer and be an adult, don't run around behind someone like a high school kid working up some teenage drama.

Me and Hook have had plenty of differences of opinion, but we never had to punch each other out, and we sure as heck have a good time when we are together...

It's really quite simple. If you have a problem with something someone did to you, go to THEM about it. Posting a personal problem with an individual on here is not the way, no matter if you think the "punishment fits the crime" or not. And especially if you have a problem with someone who is ranting to others about you.

Nope, self-defense is not a crime. Never said it was. But this is not self-defense. This is doing exactly the same that was done to you, which is exactly what you have a problem with.

I will except "eye for an eye," but I will not accept saying, "Don't rant to other people about problems you have with me when I am not around. Say it to my face," and then making a post like this.

For the record- I do not have any problems with Derek. In fact, not sure we have ever met. I am just a person who likes to discuss points and counterpoints, and this particular post seemed extremely hypocritical to me.
