Conclusion

It is very sad.

I concur completely ... when ever people ask me about attaining model or high power rocket information, I never suggest or even hint to them the existence of this news group. IMHO, it would turn them off from the hobby ... soil their conception of what we trully are.

With all the banter and bullshit that goes on here, you never see it at launches ... well at least I didn't and don't anymore. I think even Jerry "the Skippy" Irvine could show up at a launch, unannounced, and get a few hand shakes and be asked for an autograph or two ... no really!

P.s. to Jerry ...

Jerry please don't go anywhere near Kosdon ... he probably would end up in prision after he kills you :(

Dang... I thought I heard Frank and Jerry had finally made peace after all these years?

That's skippy's claim, not Frank's.

Frank has to get in line. Skippy Irvine has more enemies in rocketry than anyone.

Yes, there Are a lot of "members" in the skippy irvine fan club.

Hmm... I see a lot of people saying "Jerry has so many enemies" or "Many people will say they've heard that someone said there are a lot of awful stories going around about him" or something similar.

I see much more of this second-order hearsay than I do of actual "enemies" coming forward with actual claims - and in the cases where the story is actually told, it's usually more like "I ordered a kit from Jerry and it took a long time to arrive; the nose cone was nice but the wood parts seemed thin and splintery" or something: valid criticism perhaps, but scarcely grounds for a multi-year grudge...

Looking forward to seeing the Skipster at LDRS. He's going to look quite the idiot at an event sponsored by an organization he spends all year slamming.

But then again he's never been the sharpest tool in the shed...

David if you were in prison do you think you would be someone's bitch? You definitely have a feminine side in your protection of Skippy. Is this what they call man-love?

TF

Talk to ANY former business partner of skippy's, ANY of them, and they will all tell you the exact same thing.

You do know that Frank and others, have a Fraud judgment against "skippy", don't you?

Now you're being crude.

This has nothing to do with anybody's sex life (in or out of prison).

If you have a camera, please make sure you get some pictures (or video!) of rocketry's loneliest "vendor".

All He said was, "man-love". Are you homophobic?

It's got nothing to do with all that. Some folks seem to be in the habit of flaming Jerry for the mere sour sport of it (like elementary-school children with their playground exclusion games: "tease the weirdo" by whatever name, etc.) - my impulse is to simply try to damp down that sort of noise when I see it get going (even at the expense of finding myself taking a contrary position to some who I might, on other matters, consider to be reasonable posters).

That's just how I feel about the situation - I don't consider it a "feminine" or "masculine" attitude at all.

Hey don't forget that Kosdon's building was the victim of an arsen fire soon after the judgement was handed down ... ah the memories from years past ...

I think if Skippy went to prision, he would be everyone's BITCH.

No one knows what its like to be the bad man ... to be the sad man ... behind Kangaroo eyes ...

A case of Pot - Kettle?

Hmmm... AND an Altopia User?!?

My problem is that down here "skippy the bush kangaroo" is a much revered icon, held near and dear to many generations of children who grew up with him.

I always liked the tag he received over on ROLChat "irswine", kinda sums it up.. I do recall someone posting a very elegant piece of prose in here some time back about some sort of disease or something (try are search on irswine)

Given recent rants, I am beginning to think that report has some basis in fact.

It doesn't take much on rmr.

Bill on delivery killed their commercial traction so they had to resort to fiction.
