Seems this thread has degraded. First it was MX, then someone named
alice who goes around claiming anyone he disagrees with are not real
pilots.

I read what you posted to Alice, and you really owe her an apology.You
claimed that anyone who disagreed with you needed to "Go back to the
basics".Do you treat your students like this?

You are right. I do owe an apology to alice for saying that she "had
to go back to the basics". Stuff happens, and discussions do sometimes
get out of control. I was defending John Denker's book, not myself.
However, my comment was uncalled for. So here is my sincere apology
for that statement.

Most of us in this group don't come here because we have too much
spare time. I am here only because I learn something new from these
discussions. In that spirit, I am still eager to find out what is so
wrong with Denker's book. The comments that ' the book is free only
because no one would pay for it' is a serious defamation of a
professional author who has been generous with his work. I don't need
an apology for it because it is not my book. However, if there is
indeed a serious flaw, it would be beneficial for all of us to know
the specifics.

You too felt the need to make broad accusations that 'several of my
basic concepts were completely backwards' and that 'I can't possibly
be a CFI much less a pilot'. Those are very broad and nonspecific that
I can't defend them nor use them in any constructive manner.




Yes, I am a real pilot, flight instructor and an enthusiast,

Come on dude, I have read some of your other posts and you have
several basic concepts completely backwards.There is no way you are a
CFI much less a rated pilot.Like I said before, there is nothing wrong
with a non flying enthusiast on this list.Just be honest.
