JerryBaumchen 1,308 #102 December 10, 2015 Hi Ron, QuoteYou are probably too young to know about it and therefore ignorant. Let's see: 1. Scotty was a personal friend. 2. Scotty was also my lawyer on some FAA stuff. 3. I am 75 yrs old. 4. I joined PCA in 1964. So who is ignorant? Jerry Baumchen D-1543 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now, don't go messin with Ron's prejudices. He wants to think you're ignorant, and you're not doing yourself any favors showing him that you might not be.

Because you seemed to think that the line Scotty used was his own, when anyone who's taken any sort of poetry knew perfectly well it was Dylan Thomas (even me, which is saying something). So you: A - Have no clue who Dylan Thomas is. B - Have no clue who Jerry Baumchen is (How much jump gear have you invented?) And you called him ignorant.

Second, this is a skydiving forum and I made reference to a skydiving article authored by a well known sport parachutist. Jerry took a cheap shot. I gave him the benefit of the doubt thinking he was too young to know. Therefore, he had justification for being ignorant about the article.

This would probably be a good point in time to give up, admit you were wrong, apologize for naming somebody as ignorant when they called you correctly on it, and go on your merry way. You're getting the ball busting now because you're doing the opposite and digging your heels in even more.Apologies for the spelling (and grammar)....

normiss 734 #124 December 11, 2015 Your perspective is skewed based on beliefs, not facts. Something written in an old book that has no source and modified repeatedly over it's history is proof of nothing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
