An Open Apology to R.A.P.

I sat in the shadows for a long time attempting to ignore the resident
troll, hoping against all odds that he would go away. When I could no
longer restrain myself, I started feeding the troll against my better
judgement.
It is apparent that I have done nothing constructive in that regard
and, in my attempts, have probably offended a number of you whom I
consider to be excellent aviators, if not going as far as alienating some
of you as well.
I earned my PP ASEL in 1975 and have never stopped learning. Along the
way, I have written more than a few aviation related articles published in
both regional and national magazines. I've made my bones and I've earned
my airman's title and the right to comment on matters of aviation - when I
have something to contribute or need your learned experience. It simply
galls me that someone like Mxsmanic can violate our treasured status day
in and day out and continue to survive, even thrive.

I realized today that I have been recently scanning down through the
posts on R.A.P. not to learn something new, but instead to find out what
kind of spew the troll is serving up. I feel I owe the rest of my real
flying colleagues an apology. For that reason and that reason alone, I am
going to retire from the newsgroup. My biggest regret is that Msxmanic
will undoubtedly, in his maniacal way, gloat over having won.

With apologies and regrets,

P.S. - Mxsmanic is NOT a pilot, has NEVER flown an aircraft and is NOT
qualified to
issue competent information regarding any aspect of the operation of any
aircraft.



Unfortunately Captain Jackass aka Msxmanic has basically ruined this
newsgroup which I have read and occasionally posted on for the last three
years. I constantly have to make sure I'm not reading a response from the
Sim Pilot instead of an actual response from a REAL pilot. He sucks, I am
sick of reading his stupid crap (more like trudging through it) and I don't
think you need to apologize for anything!! I think Msxmanic should apologize
to all of us and cease posting immediately but I'm sure that won't happen.
He is a pompous ass jerk and is nothing more than a troll who comes here
just **** people off and pretend to know something about flying a REAL
plane.
