I don't know it all, but I apparently know a great deal more than a lot of
people do. To them, it sounds like I'm trying to sound impressive, because
they have a hard time believing that a person could know that much. Rather
than accept that this is possible, they prefer to believe that it's all an act
or some sort of deliberate affection, which I suppose preserves their egos.

However, that is their problem, not mine. People who are reasonably
intelligent and untroubled by insecurity do not react in this way, and people
who are stupid and insecure do not interest me.

Look, I wasn't "mean" to you and I didn't "bully" you as you accuse many
people of doing here.

I don't recall directing any accusations at you.

In fact, I had you killfiled until I switched
newsreaders because you're annoying, obtuse, clueless and generally full
of ****.

So why don't you killfile me again?

As in, you pop off like some kind of know-it-all.

See above.

The pilots here have received training from instructors who are
obviously qualified enough to be alive, passed checkrides from examiners
who are authoritative, flown hundreds of thousands of combined hours and
lived to tell about it, some of them have actually build and flown their
own aircraft, and yet you've never sat behind the yoke of a Cessna 152
but yet you STILL contradict everything everybody says to you here.

Hundreds of hours is nothing. I have about 30,000 hours of driving
experience, but that doesn't make me an expert driver. Pilots with hundreds
of hours are often at the greatest risk of being killed, because they don't
really have much experience, but they think they do.
