Indeed Catrin, 'twas one of the best. Wonderful atmosphere.

Sitting in front of the fire and observing would be acceptable behaviour for a dog in your position, Spotty, until you get the feel of the gathering. Nobody would interrogate you- it's just the front room of a pub, after all. Plenty of other people go in who aren't there for the music, so no-one would know you unless you chose to let on. I do remember how hard it was for me to summon up the courage to walk in to the Jolly, the first time I went, but I am soglad I did.

The Mudcat doesn't have as many flame warriors as many other forums on the internet. I think we have a comfort zone here that is usually unruffled, and when attacks start, it is kind of a shock to many here. The Flame Warrior illustrations make me glad that there have only been a few people who actually have acted out aggressively on this forum. It's no fun for the target and anyone else who is used to a more easy going exchange of information. The GUESTs who attack fit the character of STEALTH.

Both the Jolly Angler (Mon) and the Ducie Arms (Wed) await. I went to Ducie Arms for first time ever last week and had a wonderful welcoming evening. The Jolly is also wonderful (I have been twice just before Christmas).

Both start around 9.30pm and are singaround format - generally unaccompanied - if you're not already aware.

I am sure that you will get as warm a welcome as I did at both venues. Looking forward to meeting you even if I don't realise that you are Spot. Cheers John

Noreen, bet you a pint you have met him, or at least been in the same room as Spot. (Manchester)

I've enjoyed Spot's company and singing in PalTalk, as well as his presence here. Spot, I think you took the "getting off on the wrong foot" far more seriously than anyone else did because you have a conscience. I have doubts about the consciences of others who intentionally start trouble on a repeat basis, but I'm not concerned enough to dwell on it. I'd be more inclined to think of self-editing as giving Mudcat a break, rather than the person who started the mess. The comments people make affect far more people than the intended target.

I've now added this one in there, so if that happens and I'm missing anyone here I can go and look at their alter-egos.

All this politics is too much for me. My head is swimming.

Flight Unlimited II, you say? What's that? The Mustang is a pretty good all-round fighter, but it seems to lack personality or something. Also, I've noticed that most American fighters fly like a truck with wings attached. They're fast, tough, and have good firepower, but they still fly like a truck. The P-38 Lightning is an exception, however. It's a remarkably useful aircraft.

The Spit and the Hurricane are beautiful fighters, specially the Spit...a deadly little machine.

Japanese fighters all fly like a dream, but they're mostly too fragile...except for the Hayate, which could hardly be better in any way...and the Ki-100 is darn good too, and the Shiden as well, come to think of it...they were late war fighters, and the Japanese had learned by bitter experience to build more rugged planes.

Iarf: In my opinion, it matters not how difficult a day one is having, how difficult a week or month one is having, that does not justify one belittling, or casting aspersions on a fellow Mudcatter.

It's immaterial that it was Rick. It could just as easily have been you, me, or any other member of the community that he/she chose to attack.

It's just not right, and saying, "I'm sorry," will not ensure that it won't happen again.

A flamer is just that. They get their kicks out of flaming, and as far as I'm concerned, they don't deserve any sympathy at all from any of us.

I'm sure all of us have our own problems, but most of us find some way to cope with them other than attacking others.

Jon said the other "Guest" was a different situation and it is. matter of fact, there are a couple of members playing this game and for the life of me, I truly cannot figure out the motivation of it at all. The idea that by taking a shot at someone they know will somehow gain them anything isn't something I can easily understand. I suppose there is some relationship to the old saying that we are never completely happy with the success of a friend, but I'd hope that at some point on the maturity scale, we'd cope with it.

Sorry CarolC....Like one of your ? Presidents..I can tell a lie but don't like to...I am Iarf and Spot the Dog. I have never hidden the fact that I joined as Iarf in a very naughty and unpleasant manner and then realised I rather liked the cafe and the members (all of them...no exceptions) and rejoined as another id. I hoped to avoid ever posting again as Iarf but got annoyed at the "hounding" (good eh) of another poor soul and thought if people wanted to kick someone to death why not me (Iarf). While doing this they would leave Guest alone...He was sounding desparate in his apologies and some of the members of the cafe were unrelenting and unforgiving.

They forgave (relatively) Iarf and so they should forgive Guest. He may become a benefit to the cafe. He may not but that as the cabby of Emerald City said is a horse of a different colour (color).

Complex isn't it this life of ours.

I am truly Iarf and Spot the dog ( I rather hoped someone would have noticed the connection....arf arf)...

Oh...could I have just one more say before the net police come and confiscate my P.C. and remove my ID forever. This is really sometimes an unforgiving and inexplicable cafe....sometimes I call ....have a (logical) cofee and listen to such heartwarming events and tales of support and love and comfort that not infrequently I have been moved to tears , and this is not intended to be funny or sarcastic but collegues think I have hay fever in winter coz my eyes fill up.

This is then followed by vicious and unrelenting punishment of any offender who steps out of line....and would you believe the people who offer the most support and comfort are the ones who dish the heaviest fines for non compliance.....Go ahead...Kill..But look you first hard and long at what you have , like the Penguin Cafe the Mudcat Cafe is a concept not a building and ALL inside that concept are the cafe. If entrance is unrestricted then so is the concept. If you restrict the entrance then you limit the concept.

Phew...I think I understood most of that..I know what I meant to say and if my powers of argument are poor it doesent mean I am wrong.

Hi IARF - Nice to hear from you again! I am delighted to hear that you prefer the Shubb Capo.

I also LOVE flight sims! My favourites were: Red Baron (remember that one?), Pacific Air War (an oldie now, but still pretty good), European Air War (ditto), and lately European Air War...which is absolutely great!!!

I tried out the new Microsoft Combat Flight Simulator recently, and have been having a hard time liking it very much. It doesn't seem nearly as good as EAW to me, and it's a year or 2 newer. What the heck? Have I got it configured wrong or something?

Any thoughts on this? Which flight sims do you prefer?

Oh, yeah, what did you mean that guns should be compulsory? Compulsory for what? Just wondering...I prefer to confine my shooting to the computer screen...so I don't hurt anyone, you see.

You've got it - so sign up pronto, if you can. Sometimes there are reasons people can't sign on as members, because their computers won''t allow it or something like that. But, apart from when thta is the case, I feel people who stick around and intentionally don't become members are acting a bit unfriendly.

Iarf, you were new, came clean and were instantly accepted and I don't remember anyone causing you further trouble.

The problem with this one is that it has happened before and Rick, who has had to suffer more than most, was again attacked (in a subtle way) and a few of us reacted, perhaps wrongly, but in (I think natural) defense of someone we like and also in anger at yet another attack.

Guest, IMO, got the treatment that anonyous flamers/trollers deserve (although I admit that the best policy is one I failed to follow - ignore) but still has the chance to fit in.

An apology coupled with a name (even a MC one) would probably go a long way to achieving this. I doubt that anyone is going to defend the actions but I believe people would be more sypathetic towards a real person with a real problem.

All I have seen since I last posted in the Rick/God thread (which I left after Rick posting and seeing how embarresd and upset he was) has been further attempts by guest to gain more sympathy and to stir up more shit like this thread.

If he had have been as honest as you were, which is surely the way someone is truely sorry would act, we would all be getting on again.

Oh come on you guys (all reference to "guys" automatically assumes non gender specific). I have been lurking since my shameful original appearance on MC. I have since joined as another name (I believe this is a bad , bad thing to do , but as I have only posted as Iarf this once since joining as my other ID I am careless to the objections). I have read with wide eyes the btw Rick Fielding isn't a God thing and the associated threads and decided to come out of lurk to express my complete disgust with the way that GUEST has been treated SINCE HIS APOLOGY.

Give the guy a break. If he/she is a complete **whatever** then at least use the warmth and chemistry of this society to understand and perhaps help mend him/her (please assume him when I write her or her when I write him; it's getting on my nerves too).

Don't give me any of that "we have seen it all before and have had enough" .....we are talking about an individual here not a type. If she had a tough time over December and wrote a posting with a few to many units of alcohol and is now apologetic then let it go.

If he repeats his trespass then try harder to help her.

If , however , you feel you need to rip-off at someone ..then here I am..have a go..my mood is high...I am inflammable and can cope. (should that be unflameable??)

I will not admit to my "real" Id because I would possibly upset another 'Catter and not for any "have you no balls / dick / other male appendage" though why only people with small willy's and no balls are allowed to be pratts escapes me.

Finally to Rick....I have never met you and hope that anything I have said causes you no further embarassment and if it has then please accept my apologies.

I can occasionally be found using my Iarf Id on Paltalk , if anyone feels they want to give me the verbals one to one go right ahead.

I would not use a Kaiser if I had one given to me.;-) I think guns should be compulsory.;-) I think Yanks can't spell.;-)

Should be enough targets there....
