Won't argue about the right to free speech. But did you ever see his sight before he changed it up?

A little overboard, as well as overly proud of himself.

Something along the lines of;

When I was in the military I received a lot (and I do mean a lot) of plaques, awards and certificates. I'm not bragging, but a person can't be in the Air Force for ten years and not be given a lot of the stuff.

Pretty safe bet you don't since there is no "u" in Qantas. Just picking on you and I am not being serious so don't take offense.

Don't know the guy, but if he served his country and is proud of his accomplishments then good for him. All Im saying is if people dont like it then don't visit his web page, I dont know what to tell you. If anyone has earned the right to brag about themself, then I would think it would be someone who served their country. I personally wouldnt have a web page but geez, give the guy a break.

No offense taken. I'm so bad with spelling, you are lucky I didn't throw a "w" in there. :)

You can't blame him for the fact that those Australians don't know that a u always has to follow a q. Might have well have been a commandment :)

That's true, but it sure provided fodder for A LOT of message boards, as well as guys that work at his shop

First off, I have nothing but the up most respect for people that serve our country. But basically what you're saying is, ONLY people that have served in the military have the right to (insert whatever here)? The best military guys I've flown with are pretty humble about themselves, their experience, and their service. For many, the only way to know they were military is when you ask about background. They don't feel the need to brag about it, let alone dedicate a shrine of a website to themselves.

Pretty sure you're missing the point, as well as the humor of it all. Especially if you had access to "the ladies" section. I'm sure that wasn't self depreciating humor in the section.
