Default Taking the pledge

A rare occasion when I agree with Jay. What's the big deal with this
mxsmanic guy? I have to conclude that it's the newsreader people use;
if you don't use any filtering the guy's post and followups are in
your face as much as the occasional post related to piloting an
airplane.

But I would take Jay's pledge a lot more seriously if it included a
sacrifice on his part...like not posting his own off-topic **** here.
At least mxsmanic's posts are related to aviation. Too often Jay's
posts have nothing whatsover to do with aviation, or piloting, and
exhibit an offensive bigotry towards some group he doesn't like.
These posts then start long followups, for and against, which is what
I think Jay really likes--"look what I did! I generated the longest
reply chain this month!"

So Jay's pledge is meaningless. The real antidote to mxsmanic, Jay's
racial rants, and like kind? Do some flying and post your stories.
Mine is to follow.
