Like I said before, my objection was to Mr. Honeck's worldwide
announcement implying that pilots en route to EAA Airventure stop in
for an intoxicating beverage:

Publicly suggesting in a worldwide forum that pilots stop en route for
a beer seems to add fuel the news media's penchant for
sensationalizing each incident of such pilot violations. Is that the
image airman want to project worldwide? The choice is ours.

The "Fly In" part isn't the problem, it's the "Fly Out" part that gets |
dicey.
Too bad they're not having a Scotch Bash :~(

This year it's July 23rd. No admission. No strings. Just free beer, pop,

Perhaps. But it would seem that you have a rather captive audience,
in as much as pilots will be unable to depart for 8 house after
consuming the last free drink, and you are in the business of renting
rooms for the night.

Well, you could lay down in my hanger, I suppose.
We've got two couches there -- one comfy for sleeping, and the
other that we got from the "University Surplus" store. It's hard
plastic, and was obviously designed to be cleaned with a fire
hose, for those "post party" power yawns...

It would seem that your policy is not to provide complementary rooms
to the guests you entice with beer, so it might accurately be
characterized as a marketing scheme if they are made to pay for a room
at your establishment.
I was perfectly willing to drop this issue, but you keep drawing my
name into it, so you force me to go on reminding you of the facts.

Ah, Larry . It is you who continue to impugn yourself.
But, be that as it may, you're always welcome at the inn for a cold one.
Even if it's a soda.

As might be expected of fanatical flag idolaters, the GAR did not
accept refusals lightly, and in one instance in Illinois impugned
the patriotic loyalty of recalcitrant local school administrators
by spreading rumors that one of them was a foreign alien yet to be
naturalized and the other a draft dodger who evaded Civil War
service by fleeing to Canada.
--Albert Boime, The Unveiling of the National Icons

Even though it is nowhere alleged that disclosures of sinful
activity by priests impugn the integrity of the entire ministry,
that nevertheless is the passing legacy of the current scandals.
