Well I apologise if anyone felt that I had attacked them personally with the use of the word 'clown', or indeed if I have offended any real 'clowns' by insinuating that they are flight sim fans. Seriously though Blackdog, in the uk calling someone a clown, as in "oh you clown" is not at all aggressive its more a term of endearment, its what you would call a friend if he made a mistake, rather than call him an idiot, if that makes sense. Anyhow sorry if anyone did take offense.
