It has to do with your posts and your continued negative
characterizations of the indoor free flight community. Your perception
of an indoor free flight modeler shows both arrogance and ignorance. For
a person who claims to be a "progressive" thinker I find your general
attitude to be continuously insulting and condescending. Perhaps when
you can stop name calling the whole indoor community perhaps you will be
taken seriously and perhaps get some respect back . Boasting about how
great YOUR outdoor FF sport is and saying how archaic and out of touch
the indoor FF guys are is getting old and I am tired of hearing that
horse manure spread across the internet.

Indoor is a highly specialized aspect of aero modeling that has always
had a relatively low number of participants. Criticizing an indoor
modeler for asking a person to walk slow or asking a parent to gain some
control over their child in a public place at a model event is hardly a
valid criticism. Have you spent days or weeks on a model only to have it
destroyed by a careless spectator? Ask my dad how is Manhattan Cabin was
destroyed by a spectator at USIC, or his EZB? A simple "Sorry" means
nothing and does nothing when you spent months preparing your models to
attend the USIC. If a person tells you to slow down then that means you
were walking too fast. If you talk too loud in the library thy tell you
to be quiet. It is a matter of respect and courtesy in the venue you are
in. So until you stop characterizing the indoor community the way you
do, you comments on what our "problems" are nothing more than spam.
