(OK - here comes the big controversy...)
It's the same type of hypocrisy that I believe exists among people who
complain about being called derogatory names, and then refer to each
other "jokingly" using the same bad words.

The difference?

Our Albatross flies a desk...I actually FLY.

Irrelevant to my point. If I walk around calling myself a "dirty cheap
kike", would you call me a hypocrite if I then got offended when you call
me a "dirty cheap kike"?

Is it true? Are you? In the end it doesn't matter what I think. I'm not a
part of the "user group" so that means my opinion means nothing on the
subject. Same thing applies to Mx and flying.

So thankyouverymuch but I'll refer to light GA aircraft in whatever
terms I choose and I don't give a tinkers damn if I come off sounding
high and mighty.

Yourwelcomeverymuch. You go ahead and refer to light GA aircraft in
whatever terms you want. But then don't be surprised when an outsider uses
the same language. But if that language offends you, then you shouldn't
have used it yourself.

See my point above. If you aren't experienced with the subject, you
shouldn't be casting aspersions at all.


It has nothing to do with high and mighty.


Apparently this is problem #1 for some. We pilots are being haughty and
unwilling to help someone who is trying to drink from the fountain of
knowledge. Well bull****. Have you seen the Albatross' website? He's
obviously not stupid, not ignorant and in fact, some of his photography is
pretty damn good. So I'd say he's perfectly capable of devining official
information from reliable sources. So given the established fact that he
has no desire to ever fly, why come here to ask the questions? Someone else
hit the nail on the head: He knows just which questions to ask to spark
debate. Not subjects that are cut and dried/black and white. Practically
all are on what in the sports world would be referred to as "Judgement
Calls."

Anyway, it's a big beef of mine (especially the "N word")

I assume you mean Black-on-Black use of the "N" word? Do you know what it
means when one African-American calls another by the "N" word? Having grown
up in Detroit, Michigan (making me a part of the user group, trust me), I
can give you a clue: It isn't a racial thing...

and I've said my peace. So I'll shut up about it now to prevent another MX
thread from evolving into prosperity.

Best of Luck,
