Not Impressed !

Hi,

I was just over on the BB forum catching up on Stevie's story of the plane crash.

http://www.britishblades.com/forums/showthread.php?t=45441

I've been rivetted by his account of what happened but now it seams another forum are trying to discredit his story.

I for one have never met Stevie, but i believe every word he has typed to be true.

would not worry. Arguing on the internet never works - you've always got someone else who's been there, an expert on the subject, or believes he/she's right above all else.

I bet you $$$ 9 out of 10 people writing on that thread on the pilot forum are just wannabe pilot's, with no real aviation experience.

I've been reading that thread too.
I think there's far too much slanging going on in the world without somebody flinging mud at others, hence I'll just wait until it all calms down and he feels he can pen the next installment.
Stevie has my admiration for some very brave deeds and I hope he continues his writing.
His experience rates alongside Danzo's tale of his walk back home and could easily make it into print in my opinion.


All the best Steve

You've got your Zackertys mixed up with your Danzos there - and I bet both of them are laughing if they see this.

Never argue with idiots, They drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.

No, Danzos' walk back home is through Nottingham, much more frightening!

Dont let it worry you LazySod, some people spend far too much time in their armchairs trying to persuade others that they know what they are talking about - usually using a keyboard.

After a while, they often create their own forums where they can all get on with it, without being quesitoned.

I don't know what to think about this. My overwhelming emotions are being glad that Stevie made it through in one piece, immense awe regarding his story, and hope that he makes a full recovery - both mental and physical - in the knowledge that he performed brilliantly in such an incredibly tough situation.

As a pilot myself, and one who regularly uses pprune, I regularly see the good and bad sides of the site. It can be an amazing useful source of discussion and information (much the same as this one), being both anonymous and international, however sometimes I do feel the anonymity of the site gets extremely abused. People say things they wouldn't in person (something I try to stick to online) and the moderation is often fairly lax.

I'm as angry as anyone else about Stevie being called a chav, and similar comments, however similarly I wasn't overjoyed to have my profession described with comments such as, "wouldn't trust them to be able to tie their own shoelaces without help" and "a bunch of biggles wannabees". I guess they're the price we pay though for having freedom of speech and the internet, and all I can say to Stevie is please don't take offence at any of it, rise above them, and please please keep on writing
Yours has to be amongst the most awe-inspiring true stories I've ever read, and I really look forward to hearing the rest of it. Take care of yourself!

Yup,
You're right I did indeed get my Zackerty and Danzo mixed up - I was posting whilst trying to remain level headed.
My deepest apologies to both Danzo and Zackerty, I hope neither takes offence at my innocent mistake.

Developments on BB seem to show the story was in fact made up, what a strange thing to do!

Had me gripped for a while there.

 

[Deleted dude 7861]

Been following this too, a bizzare turn of events. If it's made up I'm glad because nobody died from the events portrayed but a horrible thing to do all the same to say that people had died if untrue.

 

[LazySod]

D'oh

Would appear the evidence that this was all an elaborate hoax is growing.

Shame, t'was a good tale.
