Never getting upset with you is a tool not a positive trait.


Get upset is a positive trait, then? I have to disagree about that, too.

In my opinion it's simply part and parcel of your carefully
chosen Usenet "persona".


Actually, I'm not easily upset in real life, either. I often have to
exaggerate or invent emotion in order to get people to take me seriously, as
they assume I cannot be serious about something unless I'm emotional about it.

I've watched this coming from you now for a long enough
period to more than get a positive read on you. By not "getting
upset", you simply wade through the virtual tons of negative responses
you carefully generate and achieve what you apparently view as a
"victory" against your antagonists.


I think that keeping a cool head is a victory in just about any situation. If
you are carried away by your emotions, bad things tend to happen ...
especially when you are flying a plane (just to try to keep the discussion
connected to aviation).

By doing this you obviously
believe you are in your mind anyway demonstrating to the world your
complete superiority over your adversaries; the pilots you so
obviously believe are your intellectual inferiors. :-)


They are not necessarily my intellectual inferiors. But if they panic in an
airplane the way they fly off the handle here, they are accidents waiting to
happen. And if I had no conscience, people like them would make me a
billionaire.
