Is it just me...
Sturmkatze:
... or is there a growing amount of just plain a-holes in the hobby? It seems like there's a bunch these days who all they wanna do is just cause crap and trouble. They wanna do their own thing, they don't want to take orders. You know them, the ones who join a unit and then want to change it immediately. They come in and think the unit should change for THEM, instead of them changing for the unit. 0|
There are times when I just think about burning all my stuff (no, I'm not, I'd sell it first... what, am I nuts?). And a lot of the time on the boards and lists, while you can find good help and advice, you have these puffy know-it-all's who have to bloviate on just BS.
Piss on it, I'm gonna go out and burn trash and pollute the environment today. Maybe ti will make me feel better. |||

doesn't matter where you go or what you do, you'll always find idiots.

It's more than just idiots... okay, some of it is. Hobby politics are the WORST! I think though, the ones that just hack me off are the ones who join a unit, then try and take over ans change it. That happened to my first WWI unit. Sucks! What can you do? >:(
I guess you just have to be vigilant and not let them in. Sometimes they fool you though. And I love the ones who feel that THEY know what's best for a big unit or even just a small one that's been around a long time. I actually prefer the "benevolent dictator" model of unit command. Most people don't want to be in charge. Of course, then you get the guy who thinks HE should have a shot at being the CO. Hell, there are reasons why some units are really big... it's because of the one guy, the benevolent dictator if you will. He does 99% of the work. He's the one who has sweated stuff through, had to collect dues, put out a newsletter, etc. I dunno... we all know about the "Alpha Newbies" O/
Oh well... I'm just venting. I don't like the "puffy" know-it-alls either. Or the ones who think we "all just need to get along." I'm not 5 anymore...

Along with the a-hole factor are those who are the most vocal in stating what shoudl be done, reformed etc. but when time comes to step up to the plate and produce, they're nowhere to be seen! 0|
What really kills me, at least for our WWI group, is the "bug-out brigade" who are quick to show up to an event to play just about the time things are getting started and then bug out in the early evening, basically getting out of helping with either setting up or breaking down. The last time I threw my shoulder out filling up sandbags and digging positions. For the future, forget it! Lots of talking but no walking, to quote Animal Mother... >:D
My solution to those is to up the battle fee. ;D
