I agree with you on Bertie, but not MX. I honestly think MX posts
here because he genuinely wants to learn about piloting. All his
threads starts on a reasonable tone. Its other people who turn it
into a ****fest, which he then responds to. His "trolling", I feel,
is mainly caused by his frustration of the fact that people judge his
opinions solely on who he is,
rather than what he posts. If people treated his opinions like they
would anybody else, he'd stop being so blatantly obtuse.
It's like punishing a dog when it does something bad, as well as
punishing it when it does something good. After a while, the
punishment loses all meaning. People here think that by being rude to
him everytime he makes a post is going to drive him away, but all
it's doing is making him more and more bitter and dismissive of
people's criticism.
Bertie, on the other hand, reminds me of this kid I knew in middle
school whose acting up in class was largely caused by all the other
kids in the class' giggling at his antics. As long as people keep
namedropping Bertie him in their more serious threads and showing
sycophantic feelings towards him, his trolling "personality" will
continue to be positively reinforced and it'll never stop.
Bertie's trolling is caused by something completely different that
what causes MX to troll, so they need to be dealt with differently.
You must be new to the group. Give it a little time, you are making
the same mistake others have made, many times before. In fact, MX
counts on new people to feed his threads. He is totally lost without
them. They are the only reason he is still here today.
And you are the only reason I'm still here.
Bertie
