Take a poll, there, Chairborne. The difference between everybody else
here and you is that we have successfully and repeatedly flown actual
aircraft.


There are other differences. My judgement is not clouded by testosterone, for
example, nor do I suffer from insecurity or a bloated ego.

Not everybody here is a bad or inexperienced pilot.


Agreed, but some of the loudest mouths are also some of the worst pilots, if
I'm to judge by the mistakes they make here.

There are some here
who are quite highly and demonstrably accomplished and, ...funny...
they continue to make it quite clear that you're a clueless idiot also.


People who are highly accomplished don't need to resort to personal attacks.
Those who engage in personal attacks always have issues.

You might as well try teaching sharks to fish. Flying is what we do.


Some people here don't do it very well. They dismiss risks that could easily
get them killed. I guess being studly is important enough to them that they
are willing to die for it.
