Apparently for some reason you just can't grasp the fact that what I
posted initially was simply a personal statement of distaste.
No, you didn't tell the original poster "I find you personally
distasteful" -- you said "I detest people like you."
That's not a subtle difference.
But when you start branching your "opinions" out of your puddle
jumper cockpit and into my world as a demonstration pilot as an equal,
I'm afraid you have crossed the line with me. You are not my equal, and
on issues like these I will never see you as such.
What you can't seem to grasp is that your inflammatory statement (and my
following post) was NOT about demonstration flying, or even about
puddle-jumper flying -- it was about ethics. And on this subject, sir, I am
at least your equal.
Apparently you have no interest in explaining the ethical logic that must
underlie your somewhat bizarre response to the initial post -- and that, of
course, is your prerogative. But then don't complain to me about being
lectured to about flying -- because that's not what is happening here.
Far from it.
That being said, and considering I don't particularly relish being
lectured by a pleasure pilot on the idiosyncrasies and dangers involved
in a business I have known thousands of hours in as a participant and
you know only as a spectator, if you don't object I'll just allow you
your feelings on the matter whatever they are,and bid you a fond
farewell.
*sigh*
Since I've obviously failed to make my point -- and this is a topic I REALLY
don't care much about -- I will also bid you a fond "Adios" as well...
