wrote in .com: Such a bias toward comrades is not unique to Usenet. I see the bias you mention as the result of at least two factors: a result of Mr. Honeck's "contribution" to GA, contrasted against Mr. Atkielski's maligning of GA (and indeed most other aspects of non-artificial aviation). Couple that with the social bonding that occurs among drinking buddies and EAA members, and it's easy to see how Mr. Honeck's frequent lack of insight and subjective opinion in lieu of empirical fact are overlooked and tolerated by a certain segment of the readership of the rec.aviation.piloting newsgroup. Sorry, Larry, but the truth is that your Usenet persona is that of a humorless drone who would rather die than laugh at himself. To those of us who find humor everywhere, especially within ourselves, this personality trait is the funniest thing of all. Of course, you are entitled to your opinion, but I haven't seen the mention of humor in the newsgroup charter, have you? THAT is why you (and Borchert, and MX) find little support here -- because you take yourself too danged seriously. More groundless imaginings; that may be true in your little circle of cronies, but as Bush is learning, there is a larger world beyond cronyism. In my opinion, it is the news, expertise, and information exchanged in rec.aviation.piloting that is valuable, not the social prattle and ill informed opinion. Should the newsgroup charter ever be amended to value humor above information, you may see a change in my style. |
