You have repeatedly expressed disdain for pilots and "our social club".

No. I have expressed reservations concerning "pilots" who seem to be more
interested in the treehouse-club mentality than in aviation itself.

You claim that your sim experiences are equavalent to piloting a physical
aircraft without being able or willing to "prove it" - to yourself or others.

No. I claim that many aspects of simulation are identical or nearly identical
to real-world flight ... and as far as I know (and have been told), this is
true.

Instead you expect others to "prove you wrong".

I expect others to substantiate their assertions with reasoning, facts, or
both.

You have expressed that
people on this newsgroup who bear witness to certain actual events and
phenomenon are not reliable because their experiences don't jibe with your
often baseless "theories".

No, I've asserted that people on USENET are unreliable, period.

You claim that anyone who answers your questions is just a "self-appointed
expert", even if they have credentials -- which you have said mean nothing
to you.

Unless they can substantiate their assertions, this is true.

Yet you have appointed yourself the expert at filtering out the truth
from the garbage.

I've never claimed to be an expert.
