Enough with the single posts already, you're screwing up the other posts, not to mention pissing a lot of people off. Come on, get your head out of your *ss. Post your videos where they belong. Everyone is fed up with your posts and you maybe a reason why there's been some tempers flaring around here. I too am getting tired of seeing your posts. And to think I was trying to defend you at one time.

HGUCSU/Sabredriver/Migace, whatever your name is from Australia;

Please give us a break! Nobody has posted multiple Youtube links in single posts the way you have. Scott has been good enough to set up a base theatre for movie links and you still refuse to use it.

Enough with the victim complex, please give us all a break!

Remember our message exchange when I asked whether you had previously posted as Sabredriver before changing names and continuing as HGUCSU the same September day last year? You denied it but it is clearly the case.

Oh yeah, before you ask whether I have any warbird knowledge, I've been involved with warbird and historic aviation preservation in Australia since the mid 1980s. Have you been alive that long?

Cheers,
Matt

I have no answers for you, but the way your going, Scott just may have an answer for you. It's beyond me why you just don't post your links where they belong, how hard is that? and the others who post a video or link here, only do it rarely and they usually have a point to it or a reason for it. You just post to post and you are scattered in all directions. You make no sense in the way you post anything here and no one can keep up with you, or want to. If you're looking for some respect from the members here, it would serve you best to follow Scott's rules. If you're looking to just annoy the members here, you're doing a wonderful job, and to that strategy, I say .... nice knowing ya, because you probably won't be here long. I've said it to you before, just slow down and clean up your act and you'll do much better here.

It probably isn't worth responding to HGSU's posts. It seems obvious that s/he isn't here to contribute, only to tiptoe right along the line that divides obnoxious/antisocial behavior and behavior that gets you banned.

I've seen this type of person before on other forums. Typically they are more interested in stirring up trouble and bothering other posters than they are in the subject at hand.

Often, when confronted, they respond in a childish manner, or threaten to leave the forum. Sometimes they do leave the forum, always with an " I'm leaving because everyone is mean to me" post. If they leave, they usually return very quickly. They often complain of personal attacks, when all that is happening is they are getting feedback on wayward behavior.

Also, they like to retire one screen name and return in the not-too-distant future under another screen name.

Unless the owner of the forum bans them, the only thing that works with someone like this is to ignore him/her. Do that and they will eventually disappear or (in frustration) they will do something that gets 'em banned.

Why don't you just change your avatar to YOUTUBEBOOB, or follow through on your threat to drop off the face of the earth, but wait, you weaseled out on that and took it back after Jack Cook and me both applauded your decision.
Yer gettin' old and tiring man

I guess he figures with his post usually getting around 100 hits, that he must be doing a service for some of us...even if most of his hits are from people looking to see if he's up to his usual tricks. I personally don't like video links so no matter how enticing (or confusing) the title, if it's an HGUCSU post, I don't bother. Maybe if he got 0 hits he'd get tired.

.

Unfortnately as HCUCSU doesnt seem to want to take constructive advice and make his posts user friendly, I now avoid all of his posts, regardless of subject heading.

I tend to agree with the comments above, the 100 or so views are prople looking to see if he has modified his behaviour and in fact are only encouraging further spam.

Interestingly I am still unsure if HCUSCU is sabredriver, I missed the incident that supposedly marked the retirement of one nick and the introduction of another, and I am still not even sure HCUCSU is Australian based?

However I do know sabredriver and migace are the same person, and is based in Australia, and migace posts on the warbirdz site, and usually provides informative posts?

He recently posted an informative report on the HARS fly-in?

However today we scored two u-tube links, (very HCUSCU like) but with at least an introduction? and supporting comment? and appropriate subject line, which is all that people are asking here? from HCUSCU, if it is the same person I cannot understand the apparant different attitudes? displayed on the two sites?


EDIT> actually I am now sure HCUCSU, sabredriver and migace, are all the same person, the HARS report at "warbirdz" was all about his flight-gear collection, and I now note similar posts here by HCUCSU on the same topic -

After making a few constructive comments to HCUCSU that are obviously being ignored, I will now leave it to Scott to resolve appropriate behaviour in the forum, and simply bypass all of HCUCSU's posts here in the future.

Regards

Mark Pilkington

I really don't understand the problem people have with HGUCSU's threads.

I don't see what the difference is between what he posts and what Jack Cook posts. Yeah Jack posts the photo with some information. But he has plenty of threads of his own with no replies. For the most part, when I see threads by either Jack or HGUCSU, I ignore them. If you have a problem with them, then why don't you ignore them.

And while I think he should use what Scott has set up, I can understand why he doesn't. It's just like all of the people who post things in the main forum that have nothing to do with Warbirds, planes, or war, and even admit they put them in the main forum because "noone" looks at the sub-forums. If he started posting everything in the Base Theater, few people would look in there.[/quote]

Hi Mark,
Certainly the same person. The modus operandi are the same, the spelling and grammar errors and much of the attitude is the same. He's certainly Australian, and made a poor effort at pretending to be from somewhere else, perhaps the USA, but being surprised when found using Australian slang American readers didn't get.

He could make a (minor) worthwhile contribution here, and a couple of recent posts indicate it's a possibility, but the pathetic personal attacks when asked to behave by other (respected) posters don't help.
I've wasted enough time on the case, better things to do. Kyleb post is the best summary.
Cheers,

Perhaps you might look a bit harder?

Jack's stuff is from his own collection.

He posts the photo, not a link, and gives the correct details of the airman in the photo.

He knows what he's posting about, generally, and answers questions to the best of his ability and experience.

When corrected or disputed, he's polite, and accepts he might be wrong.

He's happy to help and will provide details from his collection for anyone requesting that.

He also fails to act like a cross between HAL and a web-spiderbot.

Apart from that, identical. ;)

I'm not interested in HG... and I don't look over all of Jack's posts, but most of Jacks are of interest, and while I'm not Jack's friend, I think it worth pointing out the difference between him and whatsisname.

thanks JDK,

your reply came in while I was doing an edit above:

I would also agree there is a big difference between HCUCSU's posts of links with unknown content, and Jack Cook's posts of wartime photos of "warbird" type aircraft, and therefore quite appropriate, interesting, but also easy to backspace from if the image is not of interest.

Whereas HCUCSU's blind links, spams you off to a either a thread in another forum, or a you-tube site.


Regards

There is absolutely no doubt that HGUCSU is in fact sabredriver. They both have said that they are from Australia in previous posts. If you look at the profile history of both HGUCSU and sabredriver you will find something interesting. What a coincidence that the last day that sabredriver posted on 16 Sep 07 was also the day that HGUCSU joined the WIX. Here are the links that show this:

http://warbirdinformationexchange.org/p ... abredriver

http://warbirdinformationexchange.org/p ... ile&u=6164

Also, if you go back and look at the history of sabredriver's posts, you will notice the same kinds of posts with lots of ebay, youtube and other worthless non-warbird related links. In addition, both sabredriver and HGUCSU post with the same grammatical style, syntax and spelling errors. HGUCSU/Sabredriver's English is so poor that it must not be his native language.

In addition to this, both HGUCSU and Sabredriver have mentioned in previous posts as having a collection of O2 masks and G-suits. This fits in perfectly with the new name of HGUCSU. The HGU part refers to the military prefix for aircrew helmets and the CSU refers to the military prefix for G-suits.

Sabredriver is HGUCSU.

Ooo, I dunno. I agree with everything else, but it's just poor, from someone not up the the real differences between US and Australian versions. Non native speakers have a different range of communication issues, than um, whatsisname. I think the problems are more ~um~ personal than linguistic.

ah, well, back to the warbirds.
