Some flying vids I made...

I've been posting on this newsgroup off and on for longer than most
people here. Not always the same email, but I've been on here since
around 1996. Even with my current email, this was not my first post
on here. This goes back to 2005 with plenty of posts to indicate I am
a real pilot. Go ahead and check, it takes all of 10 secs through
google groups. I've even met other members on here in person.

I didn't recognize you, by e-mail address, or by sig line. (since you don't
have one)

Perhaps you should add a easily reconizeable sig line, that you will be
recognized by, no mater the sending addy...

Threatening him? Why are you saying that?

You wrote:

Email me and let's talk. I recommend you do so, as I am certainly
going to track you through your blog and have a chat with you.

Sure sounds threatening, to me. "recommend you do so?" Recommend, or what,
get an *ss beating? "Track," as in find out where he lives, so you can go
give him an *ss beating? "Chat," as in what, give him an *ss beating?

Sorry, but it is all bully talk, to me.

I haven't done a damn thing wrong and I don't see how you can defend
him.

Hold the phone. I gave an explanation, as to why he could make a mistake,
like that. It was a mistake, and a serious breech of etiquette. As to what
you did wrong, I guess it is a matter of perspective. I'm sure you believe
you did nothing wrong, but that is not my view.

Did you read this following line that _I_ posted?

Me: Making that kind of threat is as unacceptable of a behavior, as was him
posting all of your info.

See? I compared your threats (serious, in my eyes) with him posting your
info. BOTH bad things, IMHO. I did NOT support him.

I have to admit, the first thing I thought as I watched the video, and
before the nasty exchanges was, "I wonder if this guy was filed IFR, or not.
I wouldn't be surprised if he wasn't.

I sure did not remember you, and if I had, I wouldn't remember if you were
rated. "I" would not have posted anything, in rebuttal, and would not have
posted your info.

Can I make a suggestion, to you, and any other people showing flying of an
IFR or unusual or risky type?

Diffuse the possible criticisms by the pessimistic, by including in the
title something like, "pretty puffy clouds on enjoyable IFR flight," or "Fun
flight of rolls and loops, done by the book." You get the idea. If not all
in the title, a disclaimer in the text would certainly not be overkill, when
you think of all the other misinformation that has been going on around
here, lately.

A little up-front honesty and full information would be a breath of fresh
air.

I'm done with this subject, for now. Go on with it if you must, but I have
spoken my peace.

My intent was to not defend, but in a way, point out how that trolls damage
the atmosphere of a group. Almost like the terrorist destroys our freedom,
by increasing paranoia.

The damage done by MX and by other trolls is pervasive, and real. Witness
all of this, as an example of the damage done.

Blue skies to you, (and IFR too, when you want to!) g
