Boidman Key Veteran Location: home

I am like a chameleon. I have been to most SoCal flying sites, but none of you could identify me. I have never flown at any of the standard group locations. I have visited many of the known and "secret" sites to watch and learn, about people and helis.
Because of where I have lived and played, when pictures are shown of the "PM me to get directions" location, I can often find the site that is being protected.
I watched and learned at Suzuki's 'Field', before the guys from up north started to visit.
Mostly, there was an age conflict potential.
I saw the conflicts coming, before they occured.
Everyone of you are cool, individually, but when the "group mentality" takes over, things begin to go south.
Chill, dudes, without preaching on the 'hobby' aspect of this all, what the phuk is the point?
If honest conflict needs to be dealt with, howsabout doing it out of sight?
We all have seemingly potent egos, but they don't always have to be displayed in public.
Screw around, have some fun, and mostly STFU rather than beating your chest online about companies and peoples. I have always gotten the best results by talking directly to the supplier, civilly.
Dudes, most conflicts are irrelevant and not worth it.
