How would people wanting
to ridicule Mx prevent such an explanation...

It adds noise. I have found that he responds (slowly) to careful,
focused discussion which teases out the roots of his misconception or
miscommunication. However, this is hard to see if a great percentage
of the comments to him and about him are designed to ridicule. I
will also add that the pilots here ridiculing him have made aviation
comments that are also not very accurate or perceptive. (I've seen,
and even made, such errors myself in other unrelated threads, so
this is not unique to Mx).

Mx's noise doesn't seem to be intended that way. It is just the
natural result of a headstrong attitude. However, those who ridicule
him make noise that =is= intended to be noise. It hides what signal
there is, and that is also intentional.

This makes it hard to tell whether Mx is here to learn, or not. I
think he is, and is just not very good at the necessary social skills.

Thanks for the explanation, Jose. While I agree with some of your
observations, I don't agree with your conclusion. I don't think it's very
hard to tell when someone is trying to learn vs. trying to disrupt, and
the repeated attempts to disrupt are met with disdain, also a "natural
result" when confronted with such behavior.
