Re: Java Program: Window1.java
Hi Tad,
Hi Bob, long time no hear. The last time you communicated with me directly was 2012/09/13 22:50:49 UTC on the subject of the tow force diagram/animation you put up at:
http://www.ushawks.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=1146
Tow Force Diagram with "V" Bridle
for the purpose of calculating loads on weak links. I responded to your notes on that issue starting at:
http://www.kitestrings.org/post2904.html#p2904
but I'm guessing you never bothered to read what I had to say - along with not bothering to read any of the discussions on the advisability of using Rooney Links to increase the safety of the towing operation in the weeks after Zack Marzec was scraped off the runway at Quest.
In your forum, you wrote this regarding someone else...
Whatsamatta? You don't know his name? Or is there some reason you're not using it? It's:
Orion Price - Northridge, California - 88538 - H3 - 2011/04/03 - Joe Greblo - FL 360
Sure am happy it's not my name on his card.
...who'd joined KiteStrings:
People don't just join Kite Strings. They only get on Kite Strings if they're approved by Zack or me - and Zack always gives me sole discretion. And I only approve people if I determine they have or may have a legitimate interest in being here. And I now disapprove them the instant they demonstrate that they don't.
What was your purpose for registering on Kite Strings?
The duplicitous motherfucker's sole purpose for registering on Kite Strings was to be immediately banned. And I immediately accommodated him.
To have an honest, civilized, respectful, rational discussion about hang gliding issues and problems? I rather doubt it 'cause I've never seen you partipate in any of the critical discussions on any of the mainstream forums.
I think you misspelled "participate".
Yep, Sherlock. You caught that I'd missed two letters / one syllable AND correctly divined the intended word. I run everything through a spellcheck before posting but sometimes get bit on subsequent minor edits. Fixed it, thanks.
So how come you didn't have a single comment anywhere on the fourteen pages of deadly total crap on 130 pound test fishing line Dr. Trisa Tilletti poured into the 2012/06 issue of the magazine? Are you sure you're using your talents where they're doing the most good for the greatest number of people?
But aside from that, I don't think too many people would go to KiteStrings for "rational" discussions...
Right again, Bob. 99.9 percent of the people who participate in this sport are total fucking douchebags who:
- think that Jim Rooney has a keen intellect, Bobby Bailey is a fucking genius, and Towing Aloft is an excellent book
- are scared shitless of rational discussions
- get their entertainment and feeling of self worth by listing to scumbags like Davis Straub, Jim Rooney, Bob Kuczewski ranting endlessly about Tad being an unrepentant child molester and scumbags like Orion Price ranting endlessly about Tad's deficiencies in the testicle department
...and they CERTAINLY wouldn't go there for "civilized, respectful" discussions.
They CERTAINLY wouldn't go ANYWHERE for rational, civilized, respectful discussions. They'd go to shit heaps like the Jack, Davis, Greblo, and - if desperate enough - Bob Shows where they're free to express their opinions on flare timing, crash techniques, the reasons hook-in checks are unnecessary and dangerous, what to do after launching unhooked, why 130 pound Cortland Greenspot works better than all the other shit out there for increasing the safety of the towing operation, how to react to weak link breaks, the length of time it takes a glider to notice that you've taken a hand off the basetube, CPR classes, who's opinions are worth listening to, candidate Bob Kuczewski's tireless dedication to advancing hang gliding safety with other shitheads and have some sleazebag of a "moderator" protect them with delete, lock, and ban buttons when they start looking like the total morons they are.
Really, what were you thinking when you wrote that?
I was thinking about the rare individuals - the extremist one percent - we have on Kite Strings who love hang gliding and want to rescue it from the sleazy assholes and morons who infest and control it and come here for rational, civilized, respectful discussions on getting things right and in line with conventional aviation.
So who have you got flocking to your little perpetual dictatorship-masking-as-a-democracy nowadays, Bob? How'd your little experiment go after you locked me down in The Basement and then banned me to make your forum a safe place for people of varying ages to visit? Did you make it a safe place for people whose age varied to...

...sixty-six to visit?
You wanna know what I was thinking about you early in the history of our correspondence? Tough shit.
I was thinking triple digit IQ, ability to write complete sentences, aeronautical engineer, I can talk with this guy and get him on board with physics and logic based hang gliding to help get this total bent pin disaster area cleaned up.
What I, of course, SHOULD HAVE been thinking is, "How come this motherfucker with a triple digit IQ, the ability to write complete sentences, and an aeronautical engineer degree is watching this total bent pin disaster area and not doing shit about it?"
But now I know EXACTLY how this sewer of a sport and scum like you and your OP buddy operate.
- The sport is and always has been a majorly incompetent flavor of aviation.
- Competence has always been the enemy.
-- Competent pilots understand that this is an inherently dangerous sport and that understanding that it's an inherently dangerous sport is the foundation for making it's practice safe.
-- The Industry wants to sell it on a foundation that it's as safe as croquet and that the only people who get fucked up are clueless bozos who were accidents waiting to happen.
-- Solutions to problems and their advocates are automatically attacked because implementation would be an admission of incompetence and negligence and open The Industry up to devastating liability issues.
-- Scumbags such as yourself and OP are rewarded by The Industry with advancement in the power structure for attacking and marginalizing solutions to problems and their advocates and cheering on mainstream dregs like Jim Rooney, Sam Kellner, Steve Wendt.
You're a virus, Bob. I was a bit slow on the uptake but now know every base pair in your DNA sequences and just what makes you tick. I can predict every move you're gonna make and know exactly what treatments to apply to minimize the number of infections and their effects.

[TIL] About Tad Eareckson
Bob Kuczewski - 2013/03/10 18:20:34 UTC
I first learned about Tad Eareckson when I was Regional Director and the USHPA Board circulated a letter he had written (with intention to send?) to the FAA about some dangerous practices in hang gliding. The Board's knee-jerk response was to try to take some kind of legal action to silence Tad. I indicated that I thought we shouldn't be sending our lawyers in as our first response and that maybe we should have someone talk with him first. So Dennis Pagen volunteered, and I believe the matter was settled without any serious damage to the sport.
Keep up the great work limiting the serious damage Tad's able to do to the sport, Bob. Neither one of you lying bottom-feeding motherfuckers is gonna be kindly remembered by history.
P.S.

I am very hard pressed to come up with a scenario where I would want my weaklink not to break when it's loaded up. Conversely, I can think of several times on tow where I was glad it did. Usually I was just about to release cause things were going from bad to worse and POP, I was flying myself and things worked out.
I get pretty torqued up at the "strong weak link" advocates who come out of the woodwork when something like this happens and use it to say "see, this proves my/our point". This, in spite of not being there and only having second hand information to make this point. If you believe that fine, knock yourself out, but don't use BS like "this wouldn't have happened if only you had listened to me".

You were out looking for data to support your preconceived conclusion, rather than looking at the data and seeing what it tells you... which is why this is the first time we've heard from you and your gang.
Go back to Tad's hole in the ground.
While you're there, ask him why he was banned from every east coast flying site.
See if you can get endorsements like those the next time some asshole - ideally Davis Maybe-Just-Coincidence Straub, Jim Keen-Intellect Rooney, or Sam You-Don't-Get-An-Accident-Report Kellner - gets snuffed by the focal point of his safe towing system.
