**Blimp launch information** (and new banner photo)

[Jaykzo]

These threads always remind me of the phrase

"The empty can rattles the most"



Just donate, and wish for the best. Unless your on the blimp team, your incessant complaints will do nothing but slow the process down.

A little charity people.

If this stuff were easy everyone would be doing it.

There is risk in everything.

Could you please remove the image that shows the young woman on the left? Don't you believe that she has a right to privacy if she requests it? How rude.

I'm not picking sides here or anything, but if she wants privacy, why is she still on the blimp website? I don't get that.

btw, do you guys have an eta on the banner today? I remember you saying you expected it in the AM.

LOL, my oh my. A "right" to privacy...maybe if she wanted to live the rest of her life inside a box.

Could you please go away now?

But you told people that you were going to launch on Monday, weather permitting, when you knew it
was impossible because you didn't even have the banners. You even had the information up on
the site about launching Monday and were soliciting money over it. You did not have any
information about the banners not even being sewn on the site, even though you knew it.

Since then you have mentioned other reasons (a long list of things that many other people have
pointed out also do not make sense on this thread).

All those people have actually given you money, and have previously defended the blimp project
on these forums. Your tone of voice, underlined above, is wrong.

You know, you may be a senior member, and you may (or may not) be a donor, but as someone who's actually and verifiably put serious money behind the blimp, I'd really appreciate it if you'd find another thread to nag and pester on. I'm sorry that you're so frustrated. Your frustration is not representative of myself of other donors, who realize the magnitude of what is being done. I think you may have reached the point where your energy expenditure would be better directed elsewhere than on this topic; and thanks in advance for doing so.

Blimp Team, thank you for your incredible efforts! We are very excited about the upcoming launch and very grateful for your bearing with occasional misguided and unrepresentative negativity. Stay focused and launch that blimp!

Because I could remove her from here faster than I could contact the programmer to remove her from the site.

Sanity!

For you perhaps. I've been offended on this forum, to the point of even leaving for a month (the whole Anita Andrews nonsense). This situation and most of what has been said doesn't even phase me. In fact, I haven't yet donated to the blimp, yet all the negativity toward the blimp team is encouraging me to do just that. So if you don't want to donate, don't I'll take your place. I've been with this campaign / movement for long enough to have seen all of this before.

When a supporter comes up with a good idea, there are always those who have no intention of being supportive, so they trash the idea like there's no tomorrow. When that fails, at some point the idea usually goes through a few glitches and more easilly swayed supporters of the idea begin to complain about how they are owed whatever they feel needs to be done and if it isn't done, they say they won't donate etc...

Then the idea breaks free of the glitches, succeeds and suddenly those who were threatening to leave are either never seen again, or try to act like they never threatened to stop supporting. If the blimp was my project, I can assure you I would not read much at all here, because all the negativity would get me down and destroy my drive to keep going.

I know you're just frustrated, but threatening to stop donating isn't going to solve that frustration. Instead it will just frustrate more people. Peace be with you.

Very well said Wyurm!!!

Fly Freedom!!!

Hey there is a difference between living in a box and basic privacy. The Ron Paul Blimp site gets thousands of hits a day, many of them from MSM. Perhaps she just wants privacy, perhaps she's shy, perhaps she has an abusive ex-boyfriend she's hiding from. Can't we reqspect her request without demanding justification.

 

[AFedForFreedom]

McKarnin,

It's sad but apparent that the 10% A-hole factor is proved again and again, even in a noble group of supporters for the man who spreads the freedom and peace message.

God Bless You for all your efforts. Please make sure and pass our thanks and prayers on to the rest of the team as well.

Don't let the few discourage you!!!!

See you in the sky!!!!!!

So says a person posting under a pseudonym.

Hey YOU put it here, so stop implying we are rude. This is the internet...its serious business. I was just indicating that it was funny you said "right" to privacy. Obviously you are not 100% in line with Ron Paul's ideas of rights. Just bringing it to the fore front.

Of course we can respect her request without justification. You're just trying to divide people when you say this. All I'm saying is that your use of the word right was funny to me. Maybe people should never pose for a picture if they don't want their picture on the internet that is all.

Boy I can't wait until the blimp is launched so we can move on...

So says a person posting under a pseudonym.

I may not have a right to privacy...but I do have the CHOICE of posting under whatever name I please. Logic...try using some.

A slogan I verifiable came up with in one of the first threads on here.

Well I'm glad you had something positive to say BF!

Shall I note it as a quote from now on?

Actually the full slogan was "Let Freedom Fly", in mind of the no fly zones.

I don't mind if you want to quote it, or claim it as your own since its modified. You might see however why someone might get really annoyed when new users come on to "support the blimp" against some people that have supported it the whole time when lots of people were naysayers, and have donated to it.

Just curious... are you posting all this stuff from your room in your parent's basement... or your cat filled trailer home?

I actually don't feel the need to rant and rave the way you do BF. I've been a part of the grassroots support for several months now. A member of our local meet-up group and certainly don't need to justify my support to whiner like you!

You have a lot of nerve calling yourself a supporter when nearly every post I have read of yours is negative. Not the kind of support this project needs.

I'm sure if the truth was told, I wouldn't be suprised if you hadn't put in a single dime.......

Merry Christmas!

You can turn off certain users comments. Just click on their name, go to their public profile....look on the right side for "add "username" to ignore list... add, then save. done.

The ability to IGNORE a user... Great!
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!

There is a God!!!

AMEN!!! No more negativity!!!!

Thanks for the help!!!!

Goodbye, BF!!!!

Just posted for consideration. This is one of the blimp team apparently.
