Wise up. These constant threads about the problem ARE the problem!!!!!!

That view has been plainly and obnoxiously stated by you, but just because
that is your opinion does not make it right.

I thought of being as disrespectful to you, as you have been to me, and
others with my view.

I won't. I will not lower myself to the level you have. All I will say is
that I hope you enjoy the conversations with Anthony, when he starts to
question your views and advice, as he surely will. I guess you deserve each
other.

I had not planned to address you at all again, but you had to let loose a
couple GFY posts, that I thought you said you were not going to do towards
me, but you were going to ignore me.

I ask for only the same thing as what you wish. If you expect me to not
address you or my views, please extent the same courtesy to me.

I doubt you can resist, though.

The last word is yours.

Look Morgans, I'll try this another way. Perhaps you'll finally get the
picture.

You got the reaction you did from me last night only after you posted
another one of your famous lectures on who should do this and that, and
who should be allowed to post with whom. Finally I had had it with you,
and the result is what we have now.
Just to prove to you how utterly stupid what you are doing has become,
let me present only one single case; that one involving you and me.
Both of us are pilots. Both of us have come to this forum to deal with
aviation issues and aviation issues alone.
Now, let's bring Anthony into the picture and see what has happened.
Your "plan" and incessant posting against this person has reached what
in my opinion anyway, is a level close to an obsession. You tell people
how to act on the forum. You "advise" people on what they should be
doing and saying on the forum. In short, you spend an inordinate amount
of your time here obsessing about a few individuals you have deemed
unworthy of belonging here.
The problem with all this is that Usenet is a free and open forum.
Everybody is welcome here as long as the posting is on topic and respectful.
Now nobody says Anthony is respectful, but he does seem to be on topic
when he posts. If he isn't, he should be ignored, but that isn't good
enough for you. YOU have decided that Anthony must go.
Well I'm here to tell you that Anthony most likely isn't going anywhere.
For whatever reason he has, he likes it here, and as I said, this is
Usenet, and if he stays, it's up to the forum to deal with it.
Now you and I have opposing opinions on how to deal with these issues.
That's not the problem here. The problem is that YOU seem to feel that
you can lecture me and others as well on our Usenet behavior.
You will note that the ONLY time I have engaged you with my opinions on
this issue is after being engaged by you telling me how I should be
dealing with Anthony.
I've told you that the answer is quite simple, but the premise that
Usenet is a free and open forum MUST be accepted as that can not be
changed by either you or myself. This means that Anthony has the same
right to be here as you or I do. Get that through your head once and for
all.
As for your "lecturing" on how to deal with Anthony, here are the results.
As of last night, a pilot with whom you have been exchanging meaningful
aviation related dialog with for many years has reached the stage with
your "handling" of the Anthony issue (Off topic as it is) that this
pilot has washed his hands of you permanently and won't ever again be
exchanging aviation dialog with you.
YOU on the other side of the equation, have come to the same conclusion
about this pilot.
Result of your "plan" and it's repercussions; two pilots who will never
talk with each other again because they can't stand each other, and you
guessed it.......Anthony is STILL here. So your intervention has cost
you and it's cost me, but it's cost Anthony nothing! Good job there
Morg...REAL good job!! Wonderful plan you have going on the forum :-)

As for me, if Anthony or anyone else wants to ask an on topic aviation
related question or make a respectful comment on aviation, I will handle
that post with the respect it deserves. If I'm nailed with off topic
bull crap like lectures on how to handle this person or that person,
that poster will be the likely recipient of a "GFY" reply.

To be quite frank, I come here to discuss aviation as do many others. I
don't demand that I like those with whom I discuss aviation and I sure
as hell don't give a damn if they like me in return. Usenet isn't a
personality contest.

and I SURE won't be lectured to by anyone who's criteria for my
"acceptance to the group" is that I agree with what I'm being lectured
about.

Just something for you to think about. How many MORE pilots do you want
to **** off in your quest to rid the forum of those you dislike?

Anyway, have a nice day and take care.
