One personel question if I may? How long have you been in the hobby?

the first time I was ever at SSRCC was in 1979...I was three...I was hooked..It wasnt until I was 15 that I learned to fly at SSRCC by John Smith...I went to college discovered girls and flew at the beach mostly....then got back into the hobby when I became a dad as I wanted to have something to do with my kids when they get older....

Plus, you stood in pain in front of the entire membership and when the discussion turned to how many were insulted by the posts here, you pointed to your injury and said, “Tell me about it.” So, it appears that you were using your injury to condemn the forum.
Never said homeless said public assisstance.....I was referring to how words can insight some to do unproductive and nasty things...I condemn the act of the man not the forum...If someone used religon to justify their actions I would not condemn the religion bu the man and act

I am confused, at the meeting the prez blames it on the website and now he says the assailant has nothing to do with the website and flying, should we believe anything else he is saying?

Again, I was the one who made the motion to fix this whole mess!!
So, as President, you didn't take it upon yourself to read what that AMA sent you? I sincerely doubt that, and I find your comment quite comical. I hope you don't feel the ones posting in these threads are fools...if so....you've got a whole lot to learn...and yes, I'll take you in the octogan anyday you want.

And, I don't believe you were attacked..produce the reports.

He is going to quit now cause the truth hurts. Did you think we were not following this from the first post on how clubs ban gs planes as well as all other forums. What did you expect that we would believe what you had to say when the evidence is so overwhellming as to the contrary.

I'm curious, if made very clear by the AMA that you must step down in order for the club to maintain it's charter, will you do so, without further delay? Seems you are trying to hide behind ignorance.

understand that there were two times the perp was questioned and yes I did say that. I cannot say anymore on this matter in this forum,please understand I am not backing away from my statement but trying to not inhibit any investigation or criminal/civil suit...I have serious medical bills as a result. I am doing this as a measure to protect my kids...please respect this...

Chris, you and the rest of the board need to resign. The AMA has made it clear. By what I have been reading you are tripping over your own tongue.. Do the right thing for your club!

I have a Son exactly your age (does that make me an OF, LOL), so I can't help giving "Fatherly" advice. We all appreciate you story of what this hobby means to you, we can relate. Now for the advice.

First, ignore Craven, he is "special".

Second, leave the politics behind for a while. It will help you re-discover your love of the hobby.

Finally, honor the AMA request and resign, it is important at this point.
