[RCSE] seriously offended
--Original message-- > At least I am not alone in taking offense. Aw, heck no, Ira. Virtually everybody on RCSE has an "I beat Gordy" button, and approximately the same number have "Gordy offended me." If you are an RCSE aficionado, it's bound to happen. Mike Lachowski has one suggestion: make your own "I deleted Gordy" button. Like most of us, Gordy spends a certain amount of time sending posts, and a certain amount of time thinking, and the two schedules don't always coincide. I don't think he meant it come out the way it did.

RE: [RCSE] Seriously offended - A common occurrence
Hi Ira, Per the comments below from the rest of the posting gang, I have to also agree with them. Emails often are hard to read the way the author writes them. Likewise, if you post, like I have, you will get the same reply. You will be slapped down. Turn the other cheek, and realize we are all have a bit of "idiot" in us all. Heaven knows, everyone will tell us so. In general, you have to be thick skinned (as noted below), you have to learn to use you delete key, and you have to know that is it just water rolling off a turtle's back. In many cases, those who reply only see what they want to see and read, and have their ways set in stone. I, too, feel the same many times. What all this does is make you sit back and not reply. That is not to say that sitting back is good, but it does make you realize that flying is alot better than being an armchair pilot. Then againyou could switch to a "Woody class" to get your LSF V wins when you strike out in the Open class. Woodies are for "Old Timers" LOL.

Re: [RCSE] Seriously offended
As LJ said... can't be thin-skinned on the RCSE, especially when Gordy
is lurking about... You have no idea how many PMs I get from him when I
offer my 2 cents worth!
There's always the DELETE key!

Re: [RCSE] Seriously offended
Its true, When you first start following RCSE, you jump on the I hate Gordy's post bandwagon. The amount of time you waste reading his posts cements that in you for a while (damn it is happening right now). Then you meet him, and he is so nice and personable, you flip flop and start to really like him. Then he writes public emails that he includes you in, which are usually a bit false (innocently enough) and the cycle starts over again. I think allot of our animosity from his posts start with a bit of jealousy over how much he gets to travel and fly. But that Travel and fly time is inversely proportional to his eat dinner with the family time. So in the end, I wouldn't trade places, no matter how much I like glider vacations. Lesson to Gordy, write half as much, think and edit twice as much, and submit to magazines. You will further our sport and be revered for your writing. We will all chant Go Gordy.
