Complaints about Tad

The following is a joke, so well played, that people continue to think it is real. It is not real folks, read or skim through the follow on posts to see how it was done. The main thing is that it baffled Tad for a while! (Note added January 15th, 2014 at 7:45am PST)

I need to breathe out my soul against Tad Eareckson for using “pressure tactics”—that's a euphemism for “torture”—to coerce ordinary people into pitting people against each other. I'm not a psychiatrist. Sometimes, though, I wish I were, so that I could better understand what makes people like him want to leave a generation of people planted in the mud of a mealymouthed, misinformed world to begin a new life in the shadows of nihilism. The underlying message is that tangible progress toward stopping him cannot await the resolution of all internecine conflict. I'd like nothing more than to extend my hand in friendship to Tad's helots and convey my hope that in the days to come we can work together to resolve a number of lingering problems. Unfortunately, knowing them, they'd rather waffle on all the issues because that's what Tad wants.

Tad has a knack for convincing the most tyrannical slimeballs you'll ever see that it is better that a hundred thousand people should perish than that he should be even slightly inconvenienced. That's called marketing. That's why you really have to look hard to see that what we're seeing is a domino effect of events that started with Tad stating that he's a wonderful human being. That prevarication incited his dupes to interfere with the most important principles of democracy. Notoriously ill-tempered airheads reacted, in turn, by lashing out at everyone and everything in sight. The next domino to fall, not surprisingly, was a widespread increase in allotheism, and that's the event that galvanized me to tell everyone that if you were to unpack and analyze the philosophical assumptions behind Tad's claim that the world's salvation comes from whims, irrationality, and delusions, you would find that he identifies with the most anti-democratic controversialists you'll ever see. To understand identity in the context of the present social order, however, one must first understand that Tad makes it sound like all literature that opposes Zendicism was forged by biggety masters of deceit. The evidence against that concept is so overwhelming, even an eight-year-old child can recognize it. Even so, Tad really ought to to take something for his hysterical paranoia. I've heard that chlorpromazine works well. Undoubtedly, some sort of medication should awaken Tad to the fact that by writing this letter, I am clearly sticking my head far above the parapet. The big danger is that Tad will retaliate against me. He'll most likely try to force me to react, on cue, to the trigger words that he has inserted into my mind by dint of endless repetition although another possibility is that he insists that he has no choice but to precipitate riots. His reasoning is that I'm some sort of cully who can be duped into believing that we can change the truth if we don't like it the way it is. Yes, I realize that that argument makes no sense, but Tad's put-downs are rife with contradictions and difficulties; they're totally cantankerous, meet no objective criteria, and are unsuited for a supposedly educated population. And as if that weren't enough, if Tad honestly believes that some of my points are not valid, I would love to get some specific feedback from him.

As someone who is working hard to clarify and correct some of the inaccuracies present in Tad's soliloquies, I must point out that a man is known by the company he keeps. That's why I urge you to consider the Chaucerian panorama of drug addicts in Tad's claque: censorious deadheads, prurient fefnicutes, and nitpicky exponents of denominationalism, just to name a few. It's almost as if Tad wants us to think that he refers to a variety of things using the word “philoprogenitiveness”. Translating this bit of jargon into English isn't easy. Basically, Tad is saying that politically incorrect crybabies are all inherently good, sensitive, creative, and inoffensive, which we all know is patently absurd. At any rate, honor means nothing to him. Principles mean nothing to him. All he cares about is how best to torment, harry, and persecute anyone who crosses his path.

It will be objected, to be sure, that Tad doesn't honestly want to con us into sawing off the very tree limbs upon which we're sitting. At first glance this may seem to be true, but when you think about it further you'll decidedly conclude that he avers that taxpayers are a magic purse that never runs out of gold. Whether that's true or not, his evidence is corrupted by a vast amount of nonsense and outright fraud. Before we can further discuss Tad's claim we must acknowledge that Tad has been trying hard to separate us off into various, antagonistic camps. I maintain we should oppose that effort by restoring the ancient traditions that he has abandoned. Don't let yourself be persuaded by venom-spouting cheapjacks who secretly want to create division in the name of diversity. You may find it instructive to contrast the things I like with the things that Tad likes. I like listening to music. Tad likes inuring us to wily credentialism. I like kittens and puppies. Tad likes attacking the critical realism and impassive objectivity that are the central epistemological foundations of the scientific worldview. I like spending time with friends. Tad likes threatening anyone who's bold enough to state that many people are shocked when I tell them that he can't imagine life without snobbism. And I'm shocked that so many people are shocked. You see, I had thought everybody already knew that he says that he wants to make life better for everyone. Lacking a coherent ideology, however, he always ends up breaking us up into a set of quarreling, wrangling, squabbling factions.

Similarly, Tad wants to stigmatize any and all attempts to ask the tough questions and not shy away from the tough answers. Alas, that's a mere ripple on the stuporous ocean of Machiavellianism in which Tad will drown any attempt to solve the problems of McCarthyism, prætorianism, economic inequality, and lack of equal opportunity. I mean, really. Like I said, some day, his noxious devotees may ask you why you think it's a good idea to stick to the facts and offer only those arguments that can be supported by those facts. If you're too stunned to answer immediately they'll answer for you, probably stating that individual worth is defined by race, ethnicity, religion, or national origin. You should therefore be prepared to tell these short-sighted, bilious dissemblers that once people obtain the critical skills that enable them to think and reflect and speculate independently, they'll realize that one of the bewildering paradoxes of our time is the extent to which Tad is willing to needle and wheedle jealous scroungers into his brotherhood of hypocritical zobs, especially given that he himself would be affected by such actions. Finally, it is not at all unlikely that in this letter I have said some things to which many of my readers may take exception. It has not been any part of my purpose either to please or to displease anybody but simply to tell the truth and to say, so far as I have given expression to my views, precisely what I think.

"Free is a __________ who seeks to taunt, deride, and generally vilipend his castigators." That blank can be filled with a variety of words, from idiot to nitwit to rattlebrain to nobody. Each of those words accurately depicts Free for who he really is. First things first: Free sees no reason why he shouldn't pursue a backwards agenda under the guise of false concern for the environment, poverty, civil rights, or whatever. It is only through an enlightened, outraged citizenry that such moral turpitude, corruption, and degradation of the law can be brought to a halt. So, let me enlighten and outrage you by stating that I must ask that Free's protégés reveal the truth about Free's blanket statements. I know they'll never do that so here's an alternate proposal: They should, at the very least, back off and quit trying to reduce human beings to the status of domestic animals.

Free consumes, infests, and destroys. He lives off the death and destruction of others. For that reason alone we need to rub Free's nose in his own hypocrisy. To recapitulate, Free's mean-spirited reports offer only false hopes.

I sit in sad repose as I put pen to paper concerning an issue I find most deeply disturbing. Whoa! Don't stampede for the exits! I promise I'll get to the main topic of this letter, Jacmac's snappish ideologies, in just a few sentences. I simply feel it's important first to provide some additional context by mentioning that I am totally shocked and angered by Jacmac's untrustworthy improprieties. Such shameful conduct should never be repeated.

Jacmac has been going around claiming that cultural tradition has never contributed a single thing to the advancement of knowledge or understanding. When challenged about the veracity of that message, Jacmac attributed its contradictions of the truth to “poetic license”. That means “lying”. He has recently been going around claiming that nepotism forms the core of any utopian society. You really have to tie your brain in knots to be gullible enough to believe that junk. Jacmac keeps talking about the importance of his cause. As far as I can tell, his “cause” is to goad heartless, self-indulgent finaglers into hurling epithets at his critics. He deeply believes—and wants us to believe as well—that his cause is just, that it's moral, and that the world will love him for promoting it. In reality, Jacmac's doctrinaire exegeses can be quite educational. By studying them, students can observe firsthand the consequences of having a mind consumed with paranoia, fear, hatred, and ignorance.

If I am correct that parasitism is sustained by rigid ideological categories, then I'd like very much to respond to his claim that his brotherhood of merciless varmints is a colony of heaven called to obey God by vandalizing our neighborhoods. Unfortunately, taking into account Jacmac's background, education, and intelligence, I am quite sure that Jacmac would not be able to understand my response. Hence, let me say simply this: Jacmac's reason is not true reason. It does not seek the truth but only atrabilious answers, uppish resolutions to conflicts. I recently checked out one of his recent tracts. Oh, look; Jacmac is again saying that views not informed by radical critique implicitly promote hegemonic values. Raise your hand if you're surprised. Seriously, though, if you were to tell Jacmac that he can't throw away his integrity and expect the world to respect him for it, he'd just pull his security blanket a little tighter around himself and refuse to come out and deal with the real world. Allow me to close by stating that Jacmac can back up his conclusions only with empty, inflammatory rhetoric, the very thing that Jacmac vacuously accuses his enemies of using.

More of an observation really. With nobody wanting to discuss Tad there seems to be a lot of it going on.

Nobody really wants to discuss ... Tad.

For clarification to newer Hawks members, the user choosing the name "Nobody" has been restricted to the "Free Speech Zone" because he's attacked people without verifying who he is in real life. I've offered to have a phone conversation with him to resolve the matter, but so far he has refused.

This is the kind of vile posting that we've seen from "Nobody" so far (note that the asterisks were added by the forum ... not by "Nobody"):

Nobody speaking to Bill Cummings on Feb 22, 2014 wrote:You've got s*** for brains, Bill. Rot in Hell pigf*****.


There's certainly nothing wrong with people being critical of others, but this level of vile hatred requires the person making the post to stand behind their words with their true - and verifiable - identity.

By the way, the decision on how to deal with someone like "Nobody" (or Tad) is a good candidate topic for the Trial Board. It would be good to see how the US Hawks Board would handle these cases.

I was confused by what you guys were talking about, and then I remembered this "Tad" that you are talking about. He is the guy from the Oz Report forum that they talk about running his own site (kitewires or something like that)? I remember him being extremely opinionated about FTHI and other safety related issues, to the point of getting himself banned. Was Tad on the US Hawks forum? Is he a member of any Hawks org? I can't imagine him being willing to do anything for the Hawks, except maybe criticize it into oblivion.

bobk wrote:...With regard to Tad ... as the letter points out, I've really tried to reach out to him, but I have not been successful. When I started the US Hawks, I sought him out and invited him to join us. He did, and I appreciated much of his work. But the toxicity of his attacks on almost everyone became a problem. There's more to the topic than I want to discuss right here, but I think it's certainly a valid topic for the US Hawks Board to address.

By the way, if you want to see Tad's comments about myself and the US Hawks, he has a topic named "The Bob Show" at http://www.kitestrings.org/topic33.html. Be warned that it's full of some foul language, but you can be the judge of whether it suits you or not. I will say that at this point Tad seems quite determined to destroy the US Hawks. Here's a quote from his first post in that topic (December 17th, 2011): "I'll do what I can to make sure it [US Hawks] never gets off the ground", and here's a quote from his post just yesterday (post number 440 on that same topic): "We really need to annihilate that sonuvabitch" referring to me. It's impossible to come to any compromise with someone whose stated goal is to "annihilate" you or your organization.

And that brings up my last point here. Once we break out of the monopoly run by USHPA, we should end up with choices in national associations. In SCUBA diving they have NAUI and PADI and other certification organizations. Divers can choose the organization they want to support with their money, and dive organizations can similarly choose what kinds of divers they want to attract. There are certainly hang gliding pilots who will like to read Tad's "slash and burn" posts and participate in that kind of forum. It's great that they have that choice. The choice we're trying to build here at the US Hawks is a bit more civilized. I strongly encourage pilots to choose the organization that suits them best.

Tad is an inspiration in tenacity. He takes a lickin and keeps on tickin.
He's also right on just about everything hang gliding.
I can't remember so much the kickback for his language at the time and that wasn't the stated reason for banning, was it?

I do want to address this but my typing finger is getting a blister.

Tad knows a lot about towing, but I don't think he knows everything about foot launching. There was a topic where he insisted (over and over and over) that the US Hawks needed to mandate that everyone check their hook in with a "lift and tug" prior to launch. That works fine in benign conditions, but it's a recipe for disaster when the winds are howling and you're doing all you can to maintain control of the glider on launch. That's not the kind of situation where one can let the glider "float up to feel the gentle tug of the hang strap on the harness" just to verify that you're hooked in. In those conditions, you verify your hook-in status while your crew (of three or more) holds down the glider moments before launch. Tad would not accept that there might be conditions where his absolute "lift and tug" was unsafe. So he went on and on and on about it, and he would never concede that his "black and white" rule might possibly be flawed.

Free wrote:I can't remember so much the kickback for his language at the time and that wasn't the stated reason for banning, was it?

I actually called Tad on the phone many many times to discuss the language issue with him. It didn't help. I would like the US Hawks to be a bit more civilized than Tad was willing to comply with. But you're right ... that was not the reason for his banning. If the US Hawks Board would like to revisit the matter, I'd be fine with that. Then the decision will be on them and not me. I made my best decision on the information I had, and I believe to this day that it was the right decision.

Free wrote:I do want to address this but my typing finger is getting a blister.

Take your time and let it heal. There's no rush. As I've mentioned before, I think Tad is very happy with his own forum, and that's as it should be. We don't censor references to Tad's work, and you're welcome to quote anything of his that you believe is a good idea.

That topic is 45 pages long and kept up to date! I would say Tad is obsessed with the destruction of the Hawks and Bob! I searched his site; he's blasted me for things I posted on the Oz Report years back and I barely know who he is. Tad lives up to his heritage, he is a Viking Raider: Hell bent on slash and burn.

I just want to give everyone a "head's up" that something about this topic doesn't seem right. That doesn't sound like Jacmac's writing to me, and I've sent him a text message to verify whether he started this topic or not. It's possible that his account has been hijacked.

brianscharp wrote:More of an observation really. With nobody wanting to discuss Tad there seems to be a lot of it going on.

We try not to shy away from unpleasant topics, but we try not to dwell on them either. Tad is representative of a class of problems that all societies must address, and we're no exception.

Ahhhh .... I think I get it now.      :problem: . . . :think: . . . :eh: . . . :lol:

If you go to the site that Jacmac posted (http://www.pakin.org/complaint/) you'll find a short form you can fill out to generate a "complaint" against someone. You give their name and the number of paragraphs you want to generate. For example, here's a 5 paragraph complaint "about" me:

pakin.org wrote:I don't intend to rock the boat by writing this letter, but I do need to let people know that Bob K's lubricious agendas are responsible for the growth in teen pregnancy, the demise of the work ethic, the size of the federal deficit, and everything else that's wrong with our nation. As this letter will make clear, manipulating everything and everybody is firmly within his comfort zone. Disguised in this drollery is an important message: Teenagers who want to shock their parents sometimes maintain—with a straight face—that Bob can walk on water. Fortunately, most parents don't fall for this fraud because they know that wherever you look, you'll see Bob enforcing intolerance in the name of tolerance. You'll see him suppressing freedom in the name of freedom. And you'll see him crushing diversity of opinion in the name of diversity.

I never cease to be amazed at the way that Satanism is a plague upon us all, a pox that will likely not be erased in the lifetime of any reader of this letter. To Bob, however, it's merely a convenient mechanism for convincing viperine sensualists that there is absolutely nothing they can do to better their lot in life besides joining him. He says that it's okay for him to indulge his every whim and lust without regard for anyone else or for society as a whole. What he means by this, of course, is that he wants free reign to open new avenues for the expression of hate. Sadly, the functions of the psyche known as conscience, rationality, critical thinking, and scientific objectivity are being numbed and virtually snuffed out altogether by Bob's recalcitrant insults. What can people like you and me do about that? Well, how about we start by teaching ugly, unscrupulous marauders about tolerance?

For the sake of argument, let's pretend that Bob is not a supercilious pothouse drunk. There are various philosophical arguments that one could use to contradict that assuption, but perhaps the best involves the observation that if we don't lift our nation from the quicksand of injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood, our children will curse us in our graves. Speaking of our children, we need to teach them diligently that Bob alleges that mediocrity and normalcy are ideal virtues. Whether that's true or not, his evidence is corrupted by a vast amount of nonsense and outright fraud. Before we can further discuss Bob's claim we must acknowledge that Bob avers that an open party with unlimited access to alcohol can't possibly outgrow the host's ability to manage the crowd. While that happens to be pure fantasy from the world of make-believe, one important fact to consider is that the term “idiot savant” comes to mind when thinking of him. Admittedly, that term applies only halfway to him, which is why I, speaking as someone who is not a lascivious clodpoll, warrant that the gloss that Bob's legates put on Bob's jokes unfortunately does little to refute his arguments line-by-line and claim-by-claim. But this is something to be filed away for future letters. At present, I wish to focus on only one thing: the fact that he says that we should avoid personal responsibility. I've seen more plausible things scrawled on the bathroom walls in elementary schools.

As I see it, Bob asserts that all any child needs is a big dose of television every day. Sorry, but I have to call foul on that one. The greatest quote I ever heard goes something like this: “The same pattern of guilt-by-association practiced by Bob's janissaries can be found in Bob's cock-and-bull stories.” Once people obtain the critical skills that enable them to think and reflect and speculate independently, they'll realize that those of us whose minds are not narcotized still remember Bob's frequent outbreaks of savagery. This is not a matter of perception but of concrete, material reality. Bob's favorite story seems to be that his barbs are not worth getting outraged about. This humbuggery is based on unverified rumor and has long since been decisively discredited by a variety of reputable organizations. Nevertheless, in a vain effort to exculpate himself, Bob has been proclaiming to the world that he has done no wrong. Rather, it was his lapdogs who have been besmirching the memory of some genuine historic figures. I suppose the next thing he'll have us believe is that peremptory half-wits have dramatically lower incidences of cancer, heart attacks, heart disease, and many other illnesses than the rest of us.

Consequently, I find that I am embarrassed. I am embarrassed that some people just don't realize that Bob maintains that sin is good for the soul. This is a complete fabrication without a scintilla of truth in it. What's more, Bob complains a lot. What's ironic, though, is that he hasn't made even a single concrete suggestion for improvement or identified a single problem with the system as it exists today. I could be wrong about any or all of this, but at the moment, the above fits what I know of history, people, and current conditions. If anyone sees anything wrong or has some new facts or theories on this, I'd love to hear about them.

That's a pretty clever program, Mr. Pakin!!!

I suspect Jacmac's point is that arguing with Tad is pretty much like arguing with that computer program. It's hard to disagree.

Thanks for sharing that gem of a program Jacmac!!      :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

I figured people would catch on before I actually posted the complaint generator. I only posted the complaint about Tad as a joke. He's got his site to complain about all of us and try to destroy the Hawks, so he deserves at least a little ribbing here. :lol:
