Now, this Shirley bitness... About 33 years ago, when Paul, Wig and Bopes were youngish, they had an incident. Luckily, the Kopf was there to catch it on camera. So to set the scene, you see Paul left his post for coffee as he is known to do. And he left a blow-up doll in his place (not that kind of blow up doll). Bopes is hanging out in the cockpit inexplicably, and Wig comes in. For those wondering, dogss is in the cargo hold in his crate.


I may fly under the radar, but I aim high.

I've spent a little while trying to word this and still don't know if I've got it right.
As a member of our SC, I want to apologise for a joke that in my opinion was a bad one, the so called revolution. It has left a bad feeling with me, it has caused Paul to resign from the SC and the squad, it led to insulting and bullying of some squad members, ie Richy, Parrot and Ka5ey, I'm not sure who else, or who else felt bad about the whole thing, it was meant to be joke, but it obviously hurt and upset a few of you, so on my own behalf I would like to apologise. I'm not sure how this will go down with other members of the SC, but quite frankly if they don't like it, or feel the need to make apology, then I would say be damned and myself leave both the SC and the squad.
At least I've cleared my conscience of it.

Also, may I ask, how does one gain "menbershit"? What exactly is menbershit?

But whatever. I mean, considering the fact no folks read the forums anyhow.

Muck, I appreciate the sentiment. Personally, I don't feel bullyied. Still got my lunch money and everything! I have gotten some WTF? PMs from some if the newer guys and I'll say the same thing here. It's all M.O.M fun. Some guys aren't sure how to take somebody like Dogss (from behind, duh! :blink: ), but my feathers are fine, not ruffled at all. If I ever thought it wasn't all in fun I would leave.

Anyone, sporting a "I just resigned from M.O.M" t-shirt, switch it out with the "I'm with stupid --->" (except Roo, he gets the "I got more BALL than you" shirt) and put your tag and banner back on. Resignations NOT accepted!

Ka5ey, you still have an appointment with Bopes... I wouldn't wear anything nice.

Tink (Bell, not Mrs Roo) you're entirely too eager to spank somebody, that concerns me (MrsRoo you get in a spanky mood, you let me know ;) I won't say a thing to the dude leaning to his left )

YMEX, both of you need counseling, report to sick bay immediately.

Paul, bring back the magic when you come. We need it and thanks for the PM.

Ped, I'm still giggling my ass off everytime I think of Shirley. Best laugh I've had in a while. You keep right on misunderstanding as much as you like. That was priceless.

Luna, you're the only one with any chance in hell of translating Crockettish. If you don't know what he's saying we'll just keeping nodding and rolling our eyes.

PH out. (In)

Thank you, Muck.
As a real MOM Member, and as a brit, you are a gentleman. But, being you a SC member, could you please ask Dogss to apologise himself, in public, in a humble manner, to all his rudeness against RichyRoo and Ka5ey? He didn't offend me, perhaps he isn't even aware of my existence; and I am not Ka5ey or RichyRoo's lawier, and they didn't ask me to write this - they don't even know until now that I am going to do it... But the fact that Paul Mantz quit MOM pissed me off! And everybody knows why he did it!
Again, it is just a mobile-game-forum, I know. But we make friends here! And, although it sounds weird, I consider some of you real friends! And there is no room for rudeness where I put my feet. Please, tell this grown man to act as a grown man.

But if, in the end, his rudeness can't be cleaned, I simply go elsewhere. If he is going to mantain his behavior and his "position", with the obvious agreement of some of star chamber members, he is in his right - after all, who am I to tell SC members how to act? I am just a newbie here.

The idea of the "Orphan" squad begun as a joke, but who knows? Maybe it can be feasible, and maybe we will have more than just one no-MOM-pilot on it... :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I am with Muck on this. I apologize for not stepping in sooner and waiting till yesterday for putting the Kabash on it. It should have happened a lot sooner so there was no confusion that were had by many yesterday morning. I also apologize for the way some were treated, in particular Ka5ey, Richy, and I know that PH said his feathers were not ruffled, but I still feel badly for it not coming up or for it to come out of my head and saying something about that treatment yesterday. So my apologies go out to you all In A Big Way! I should have had your backs, this back will not bend. ;) Please let my flogging begin. Paul, I should have taken the same route as you. My apologies to you! Yes Paul, I do need to apologize to you too, your route was the correct route.

All is good from my standpoint. I have talked to dogss via pm. It was more a missunderstanding on both sides.

As a new MOM I just didnt know how to take you all sometimes.

I am actually more worried about my upcoming appointment with Bopes.

Marty, perhaps I'm too stupid to realize when I should be offended. Your apologies, as far as I'm concerned are not required. I'll give the one you gave me to Ka5ey (I'm calling you Greg from now on, cuz you're not Kasey and switching to the number pad pisses me off, you owe me an apology for that! ). He can use it to clean up after Bopes defiles performs his services.

I have no desire for an apology from Dogssy either. We're cool. I appreciate Pedro's sentiments as well, but really don't know that we need a public flogging. I am actually hoping Dogss isn't bothered by all of this. I have been guilty of taking jokes too far or pulling em off in a way that tweaked others. I just want us all back and giving each other crap. C'mon Dogssy, I can take it. I can appreciate your brand of yankee humor.

I completely agree Pedro. My point is this can all be handled as it was with Greg and doesn't need to be "public". They can use PMs, carrier pigeons or semaphore.

We have over 100 people here from different countries, US, Brasil,UK, Oz, Brooklyn, etc. We're gonna see things differently I'm gonna slip up and call you a monkey or even worse, an Argentinian at some point. My intent won't be to offend you, more than likely it will be an attempt at humor. I don't see a need to put ALL of the responsibility on the offending party to know all 121 different cultures/customs/slang/slights. The "offended" party can step up and send a PM or leave a causal post that says "Hey dumbass, that wasn't cool, but we are".

OR we an change our name to T.F.O.M (Touch-Feely Old Men) .... On second thought, that just sounds dirty. We'll have to work on that.

That's the point: some can take certain rudeness as jokes, some can not. I am like Paul: I am one of the group that can't stand rudeness. And if a guy offends another in public, he needs to apologise in public.

But I already said that this is not big deal - maybe I am over-reacting about this issue. So, if Dogss don't feel the need to apologise, who cares? For me, nothing changes: I simply quit, no one gets hurt, life goes on. Or do you think that Paul is crying after quiting? No way! It's just a mobile game! ... huh... But I feel like an orphan...

Argh! Lets work. See you in the skies, MOMs.

Edit: about "touch-feely old men", you are wrong. I am not "that" mean, but I am not touch-feely either. If Dogss attacks was directed to me, I would counteratack usin acid humor, sarcasm, and would manage to make him put his tail between his backlegs. And all other people would laugh out loud. But when I see that his rudeness hurts someone else, my latin blood makes me jump, and at first, I call for an apologise - what I did.

PH, appreciate your open mindedness about diversity in humor. I also want to chime in with Muck and Martin with an apology for a late response to a mis-fired attempt at humor. Paul, Richy, Kasey, PH, for whatever reason this got aimed toward each of you to some degree...not right, and understandable if you took offense. I hope you each accept my apology and my hope that we can all continue as MOMs who play for fun, enjoy each other's company, and realize that for many of us this is a partial escape from life's BS... In a digital world, flying and killing each other is entertainment. Abusive BS we can get on a playground or a job is no escape... I too am an early member of MOM, but that makes me no better or worse than anyone else here. Let me know, and I'll step down from the SC yesterday if you all prefer a different voice in that chamber.

You have every right to tell the SC what you think. It was not intended to be a leadership That's my understanding. More like a hiring/firing commitee....I'm not going to go into how I feel....This is the first I've posted since before this started....I popped in and out checking my pm's wanting to hear from Paul.
Paul I sent BIRDBRAINBESSE a PM yesterday...

Many SC members already apologised without the need of doing so (revealing the good guys they are); but the one that needs to do it is suddenly silent...

To my MOM friends: I'll keep this banner until the "I am sorry barks" come out. Let me know when (if) this happens. I'll take a break on this thread for a while. See you in the skies.

Stand up, Wig!

Ok. I am really confused right now...
Wig is not doing well? Right? But will be back?
Paul left? Why?
Doggs post was a joke? that grew into a fight?

I don't know what is a joke and what is for real...

Wig, I really do hope your are ok, doing better, and or get well soon. In this strange game world that we play in you have been a great inspiration to me. I have been working to maintain control of my actions ( in game and in life). Your past responses have shown me a way to defuse situations rather then fuel them.

Paul i hope you didnt really leave. You put so much effort into this group it would be a great loss and over what? I missed what was done that would start running players of long standing away.

I hope all of you have a great day!

To all M.O.MS:

Before I begin, please say a prayer for Rick (WIG).

We have a wonderful family dynamic going here. Many different and charismatic personalities that encompass all the different members of most families.
We have a father (WIG), a mother (M.O.M wives), sons (Prodigies), brothers (all of you), a sister (MS.LUNA), and a crazy uncle (me). We can fuss and fight, yet still care for each other.

However, recently a dog came back from the pound with an attitude and un-house trained. He crapped on the couch and few cared, it seemed.
It started in the SC. He immediately began insulting the above family members with vulgarity. He wanted to kick many of you to the curb.
The squad grew tremendously, too quickly. The focus of most was "Oh! Another high-ranking pilot wants in." People were inviting everyone to come to a family meal while knowing nothing about them. Thus, the SC was set-up to have a little control over who got past the front door. Forum participation wasn't really a priority. My feeling has always been is that everyone can achieve a higher rank with time, not skill (I am THE prime example). The points system provides for this. The forum is the driving force to success and fun.
We had discussed ways to get control of the situation. Ways to get the forum active and relieve those that don't fly and never add anything to the pleasures of dinner conversation of their current active status.

Then, the "REVOLUTION".

A joke (?) that was never clear to me where the humor would be.
The insults from dog began. "That's just Joe, it's his style."
BULL-CRAP! If crude, classless, vulgar insults about people you don't know, and especially family members, is style, I am way too old fashioned. I grew up to show respect.

The apologies to me are un-needed. I have never been upset with the SC. Frustrated? Yes. When no-one else stood up for the insulted (they didn't know it) I resigned.

My conditions for returning are simple and have been presented to the SC:
A public apology from Joe to those he insulted (even if they didn't know all of what he said).
A private apology to me from Joe for things and insinuations that were made.
Or his immediate removal from the SC and the squad.

Thanks to those that sent messages of support.

People say, "it's just a game" is it just? I think it's more to many.

Sorry, to go on for so long, but I needed to get this out.

May I now just go look for fun stuff to share and do some flying?

Now, eat your vegetables and you can go play with your friends, but before you do....say another prayer.

KEEP OFF THE GRASS!

Paul with all due respect I don't get it. You routinely post the most scathingly insulting "jokes" in the form of all your double and triple-entendres and borderline-risque video clips and bizarre photoshop pastiches. Very creative, granted, but pot kettle black.

I have never leapt to defend your targets (and no one else has either) or quit or threatened to quit with indignation, because it's usually genuinely funny, completely incomprehensible, or both. That's cool by me.

Dogss can speak for himself if he wants. And those whom he may have offended can do the same. But do we really need all these "I quit" declarations and ultimatums? How is that any more mature than the conduct you so dramatically condemn?

This sounds very intriguing and your now the second 'star chamber' member who has mentioned this to me, so 4 P.M's from 'star chamberers' with two confirming eachothers concerns about the insults on multiple squad members!

At least Paul has the decency to stand up for some of us without calling it 'touchy feely'! It's not the case parrot, inEngland its called, common decency, not touchy feely!! (I like you PH so not starting on you!)

Anyway, I hope eventually someone has the decency to inform us who has been insulted by that dirty mongrel!

Thanks for all the P.M's, its easy to see who the good guys are.

That's it from me, never again M.O.M.....

Bopes, there is a world of difference, a very subtle world of difference between what Paul does and what recently happened. The dry, the sarcastic humour Paul uses is not used to laugh at, but to laugh with. It's a very fine and vert subtle line and Paul manages to walk it like well balanced juggler. Would that we all could. Perhaps also one of the problems was that to many here dogss was an unknown, almost an outsider, he never gave anyone the chance to know or gauge his brand of fun.

That's fine Muck we can argue the finer points of humor all we want but I'd rather not do it under the emotional gun of someone either always quitting, threatening to quit or demanding certain either-or conditions as prerequisite to un-quitting. That in my opinion does not promote any chance of meaningful dialogue and only gets everyone's backs up even further.

To all M.O.Ms and anyone else who reads on the forum.

For those who don't know me Thats goes for you to Doggs, I have only been playing for no more than a month, due to husband playing on here all the time and I thought if I can't beat him, I'll join him so that's what I did.... And I have loved every minute and never thought I would ever get into a game like this, let alone read a forum full of who knows what's and actully have conversations with you all. And for those who dont know me , hello ;)

I would first like to say I am not one for telling others whome I do not know what I am thinking only when someone makes me BITE. And sorry to say, I have bit. I am not wanting to start an argument with anyone that also includes you Doggs

I don't know you (doggs) and I don't know who you are as a person (this is not what this is about and If i am to get to know you a little like the others, then it will happen on here or in game like everyone else and not arguing and falling out) I knew that the name doggs was on the beginning page but that's all I knew.

I started playing DOGFIGHT to be closer to my husband (take that how you wish) I am still getting to grips on on who is who in flight and on the forum and I am sure it will take me a little bit longer. Like others who have just started to play.

but to be honest if you (Dogs) had come on the forum after such a long time from being away and just told other users and more importantly other New M.O.Ms who you are on the forum (co-founder) and how to take your "humor". I am not meaning you tell everyone your eye colour, address and shoe size, but if you wanted to that thats your choice. :cheer:
Also as YOU ARE one of the original M.O.Ms we should be looking up to you and respecting you!!

I am quite clearly not telling you to say sorry (i am sure you would tell me where to go ) thats up to you, maybe a pm to others whom deserves a message and maybe saying a heart felt HELLO to everyone on the M.O.M forum and hopping everyone starts again with you. Because after all this is a game we all play for fun and to get away from the real world and all it's Shite!!!!! (said in a lady's voice as I am a lady and I don't swear on on special occasions)

And just to let you know from your comment before me and MrRichyRoo do play the game without each other and sometimes not on the same team and yes he does blow me out off the sky (when I let him) okay I lied, most off the time. :P Just so you know. :)

Excellent point.

Humor is subjective. To a world-wide audience, even more so.
Thought and consideration go into each post. I have no desire to hurt anyone. I do my best to make my posts more than "lol lol lol" posts which used to dominate the forum.
I am still new to this and will make mistakes.

However, you know what was happening and what was said about people in SC. How would you feel if it was about you and your friends didn't stand up for you?

Leaving the squad is the only leverage available after all other options have been expended. It not an easy conclusion to come to.

As I have said before, if someone feels uncomfortable with something I have said or done, I will delete ASAP. And I have done just that. Once. When 1 person objected. Did it cause public controversy? I don't believe so. Have I made personal running verbal attacks on anyone? Never.

The M.O.M thread was for we adults to share, jab, poke, prod, tease, laugh and cry together. That's what I thought. I put anything remotely grown-up, optional to viewer, by placing behind the extra tab.

I will continue to dramatically condemn vulgar name calling and extreme attacks of such a personal nature. If this makes me immature, so be it.

Edit: as soon as I posted this I saw someone hit BOPE's karma.
That wasn't needed. I'm putting it back.

Bopes, why after all that barks, Dogss became suddenly silent??? "Shirley" he can (and should) speak for himself - that's what Paul and me are waiting...

And about the need of "I quit" ultimatums: what's wrong in leting people know that you are out until someone write a simple and humble "I AM SORRY" after all that bullying?
How can you call imature someone that simply choses to not be in the same room as someone that shows himself rude and brute?? What's worse: whine and "rage quiting", or bullying people for no reason?? NO REASON!!
Yes, you can call my banner, RichyRoo's avatar or Pauls text "dramatic", but what's worse: being dramatic, or being an a******? Perhaps Paul, RichyRoo, me and many others aren't "mean" enough to wear MOM tag; if so, Dogss could simply SAY it, maybe through PM, instead of pissing of, instead of bullying around.

Although I am at Paul's side, I don't follow him about "kicking Dogss out of SC or squad" (in fact, we need "Mean" members to grant the balance); but I believe that Dogss owes some people PUBLIC apologies. If you, SC members, don't have the guts to convince the dog to write a simple "I AM VERY SORRY", what a shame...

But, at least, he stoped barking, and I like MOM squad too much to take this break much longer. In a matter of time, I will drop this ugly banner and will ask for my blue banner again (Wig's one)... But for now, I am still waiting some apologies fro Dogss. Not to me, but to the ones he bullyed.

Edit: Oh, while I was writing this, a bunch of new posts arived... Maybe my points are outdated.
Sorry to know you are gone AGAIN, RichyRoo; it is turning on a bad-taste joke... :blink:

I took the RED PILL!
