No, you didn't. You announced to all "I just received a call from Ray Prouty", someone to whom you have placed disagreements with in the past. You made no mention that you called him, etc.
You ran to him because your arbitrator didn't live up to your expectations,period.
You removed the thread after I made mention to this, that you would never live that thread down, and you still will not.
Plain and simple, the thread was to be your end all, but it didn't go that way, anyone here who read it can be witness, and you needed to give the possible comment from Ray the only weight you had left on that thread, otherwise it was over.
Let's get something straight here, now your arrogance says that the forum will die without you, another demanted theory, did you tell them that at JH before they booted you? JH is still there. Some wish you would fade away and PPRUNE rotorheads will not suffer at all, will not fade away, but can get on with business instead of constantly trying to educate one LZ. Why not do what normal newbies/wannabies do? Lurk. You are close to the ground anyway, it should be normal for you.
When, not if (for reasons given again and again by everyone) you finally decide that you were incorrect, then we all can move on I'm movin on now, for I have some weather flying to do this PM ... But I predict you will still play the semantic game until that has been exhausted as well.
You are not worth anyone's time, you have to resort to wind up's to get a response at this point.
