He came out here, asked the pilots a question then proceeded to refute
every single thing they said. Not just me ASEL pilots like me, but just
about everybody.

Of course so does MX, but at least he's an *entertaining* arrogant
asshole.

Sometimes you have to speak their language. My purpose wasn't to entertain
people. If you want, however, I'll tell you some knock-knock jokes. I'm
sure everybody appreciates your encouragement of his behavior, by the way.
Nice job, Ash.

I find it to be tremendously ironic that these recent monster threads
revolving around MX have led me to killfile several people who respond to
him but not to killfile him.

That's your choice. Different people come to the forum for different
reasons. I'm here to share my experience and learn from the experience of
others, and I read a whole lot more than I post.

If you get to the point where you're typing in all caps, or having to
wave your certificates in his face, take a moment to step back and think
about whether your reply adds any value to the group.

I answered his question initially because the question had value to the
student pilots in the student group. His utter nonsense that followed
merely adds misinformation and, perhaps, satisfies your entertainment
needs.

As to whether "waving certificates" in people's faces adds value, it's not
much different than sourcing an official or authoritative reference, is
it? If we were talking about combat it would be relevant for the readers
to understand that the people in the discussion are a video game geek
versus a combat veteran.
