From the looks of things, Hatunen and Mxsmanic have been against one

As hard as it may be to believe, some people are neither for nor against each
other.

For whatever reason Mxsmanic is really, really incensed by what I wrote,
so much so that he's very persistent, nigh-relentless, in trying to frame
me as some kind of moron or incompetent.

I don't even remember what you wrote, so it can hardly leave me incensed.

All the while just making
himself look like a know-nothing self-styled know-it-all in front of a
brand new audience of rec.arts.tv regulars ...

Even if that were true, I'm not sure why I should care what anyone on
rec.arts.tv thinks about aviation. But it does make me smile (which is rare
these days, as I have little to smile about).

... plus the older fact that Mxsmanic is my enemy ...

OMG! Why can't we all just get along?(R)

... one concludes that Mxsmanic and Hatunen have become allied; the only
remaining question is why.

The Trilateral Illuminati Freemasons Commission insisted--it was an essential
step in their quest for world domination and mind-control. We are but pawns in
the Grand Plan. I know the location of the keystone, and I have tickets for
the Rose Line.

The danger represented here is obvious: if one person could suddenly
switch to Mxsmanic's side, presumably others could.

And civilization--as we know it--would crumble into dust.

Are you interested in discussing aviation, by chance?
