Default He wore out his welcome

MattJ wore out his welcome in the SH4 forum about a year ago, and then he disappeared. Take a look at the first post on his Visitor Message Board from long ago by another member of the community. He was then, and is still today (or yesterday) a braggart, a jerk, and while he was wasting our time with his self agrandizing posts (of which the one above is a concise example), he was polishing his credentials in the sim/forum in SH4 by taking on missions in auto targeting at an impressive 15 percent realism. The first time he took a "leave" from the forum he issued an apology for his over the top rants and posts. Then he disappeared. He reappeard (should I say "surfaced"?) after a hiatus of several months, posted like crazy, and was steered to SH5 (hopefully by the undersigned.) He disappeared again for around an month or two, and now is back. When he posts, he has done so in torrents, and I expect he will resume his previous pattern. I assume he is a teenager. I cut him slack in the SH4 forum in the past for that reason. No more.

MattJ does not know how accurate the opening clause of his bio information, posted below his avatar, is. It is not a freudian slip, and provides insight into his reality.

Oops! My apology to you. I seem to have inadvertantly inserted myself into a comment that I misunderstood. You don' have to explain your reply to me. I just thought you were making a random comment ("a pissed off wife") about his explosion pic. My reply was just an attempt to offer a light hearted perspective. I hope I didn't give you the wrong impression.

I know that you were not responding to my post re MattJ. The context of your post was apparent, so their is no need to apologize. My reply was not directed at you. It was a response to Captain Dippos, who is protecting the Mediterranean for us.

Oops! (chuckle) I did it again. I got you this time.

Default Dippos

Greek Islands. Best place for a vacation in the world in my opinion. It is one party after another from June through August.

Default Here is the point

I do not have a problem with the pic. Why would I?

Given your past history, don't you understand that announcing you have "won," is indicia that you think your are the cat's meow (in a manner speaking.) Take note, heroes do not announce that they are heroes, others label them as such. (E.g. when ones girlfriends announce the man is a stud, it means something. When the man says it, is means nothing and is probably B.S.)

As for the mistake as to one word, I assume you are referring to Winston Churchill (that is two words, but no bigge.) You might want to correct it, but I am not recommending one way or the other. It just depends on what kind of impression you are intending to make.

A simmer playing at 15 percent realism really is not qualified to advise anyone on anything with any authority. You might want to try manual targeting, get your feet wet, and then review all that you have posted and revisit your posts from the perspective.

From this point forward, I will refrain from posting in with respect to your posts. I have made my point, and on some level I think you understood it.

Okay, I am through with the advice.
