Icing conditions

IT IS his lack of respect for the replies he has gotten.


It is also his disdain for actual flying, and his considering the
activity dangerous and unwise. One doesn't insult the class of
people who fly, and expect them to kiss his butt with technical
help he doesn't really need. He also doesn't mind being publicly
insulted on the net here and in many other groups, and probably
loves it.

I'll answer on-topic posts that interest me and ignore those that don't.

Here are some questions MX has asked in the recent past:

- What is the reason for not having icing protection turned on all the
time?
- Can VFR fixes be used on IFR flight plans? (How many of us know about
VFR fixes?)
- Can you switch VFR to IFR inflight, or do you have to file a full
flight plan?
- When class D overlaps with class C, which one takes precedence?
- Why doesn't the sectional chart legend show the symbol used for
wildlife refuges and national parks?
- How do you tell which side of the chain-link class E border you are
in? (how many pilots have even seen these symbols?)

Now, be honest and ask yourself if these are really trivial questions
with trivial answers. I am a CFII and I get excited when my students
ask such probing questions. I am willing to bet that majority of the
pilot population will not be able to answer the above questions.



As I have mentioned to several people who are taking up for Anthony it isn't
the questions we have the problem with it his responses to the answers he
received. I also suggested one or two people Google mxsmaniac and see that
Anthony has the same history of behavior in a number of different groups.

Maybe Mx is a college graduate working on a Ph.D. in psychology and
studying behavior on the internet. And, he just happened to like flying
(sim or otherwise) and is using this as his research. Just a thought.


Interesting theory but his history when searched on Google by doesn't back
it up. Here's his home page if you are interested.

Questions serve no purpose with respect to subjects that are black and
white. They only arise in gray areas. Why would anyone ask a
question about something that was black and white? All the black and
white stuff is already documented and easy to look up.

Practically all are on what in the sports world would be
referred to as "Judgement Calls."

That's why they give rise to questions.

True, however if the unreasonable or argumentative post presents something
that could possibly be detrimental to learning the facts, I appreciate it
when someone jumps in with the correct information.

On the other hand, people learn differently and Usenet mixes many
flavors and cultures, so personality conflicts are bound to happen.

Agreed.

See my point above. If you aren't experienced with the subject, you
shouldn't be casting aspersions at all.

Sometimes it's difficult to determine whether a term is derogatory or not
when the people who use it don't use it in a derogatory manner. I have never
heard a pilot on here use the term "bugsmasher" in a way that would be
insulting. So I can't begroan Manic for using the term.

questions to ask to spark debate.

You'll get no argument from me there. I've been saying that for some time
now.

I assume you mean Black-on-Black use of the "N" word? Do you know what
it means when one African-American calls another by the "N" word?
Having grown up in Detroit, Michigan (making me a part of the user
group, trust me), I can give you a clue: It isn't a racial thing...

When my 11 year old son watches a movie where a Black man is singing proudly
about his heritage using the "N" word, is he supposed to inherently know that
it's not really a term that glorifies the Black man's heritage?

and I've said my peace. So I'll shut up about it now to prevent another
MX thread from evolving into prosperity.

OK, so I lied.

I used to work with a guy who was a US Air (the old, original US Air) 1st
officer who also worked in sports TV like I do and he only referred to light
GA as "Bug Smashers," "Spam Cans" and the like. I guess 'cause he had keys
to a DC9, he could do so but he wasn't the first person (nor the last) that
I've heard use such descriptions.

No, you should explain to him that when a Black man calls another Black man
that, he's calling him lazy and stupid (something you shouldn't call anyone
to begin with) but that it does not have the same connotation when it's used
by someone who is not Black.
