You are the most disagreeable person I have ever had the displeasure to read
on Usenet. Here we have a person trying to do a good thing and all you
can do is bitch about it and call names.

I suppose in your country everybody has their every need catered to at no
charge to them? Nobody has ever gone hungry, without medicine, prompt
care, no beggars, no thieves, it's a utopia for every single citizen
there?

I bet not one crime is ever committed there since everyone has every need
met, or so you would have us believe.

Get real, charity is a good thing, and many here help out.

If you look up Martin's past posts, they are almost exclusively off-topic.
His posts rarely add any value.

The guy's a borderline (Austrian) troll

Well, at least he's honest about not appreciating the fact that the
United States and others are actively working to protect civilization
from terrorists. Can't fault the guy for being honest.

USA are only working on forcing their lifestyle on everybody else
everywhere in the world and pulling/sucking out their interests. Who is a
terrorist? And what with all those who are not "with you"?

I don't like the US-lifestyle. I prefer a even _more_ civilized lifestyle.

Can't fault the guy for being honest.


My tip: get a passport. travel. with open eyes.

on Usenet.


What have you been on the Internet for, two weeks? Sheesh, what a weenie.
Martin's a delightful individual with an original sense of humor and a mastery
of this language that puts many native posters to shame. To take offense is to
prove yourself thin-skinned, unperceptive and unreasonable.

As to being around a couple weeks, what a laugh. I've been around since
before it was commercialized and IMO Usenet was a better place then
because you had real answers, not the drivel Martin spews. If you went to
a newsgroup on aviation that's what you found, not this propaganda Martin
spews. When I started reading Usenet the only way to get it was by a UUCP
connection, so I have been here for more than a couple weeks. I lurk more
than I post, but I do post once in a while.

I have yet to see a posting from him describing his flights, or places
he's gone flying at, or kids he's taken up. Does he even fly a plane, or
is he just out there flying high?

What "positive" thing has he done for either pilots here, or aviation in
general? Why does he even post in the aviation newsgroups when he refuses
to talk aviation? Why doesn't he just drop in on the soc.* groups and
harass them? His postings are more on topic there than here.

In the end, I've got a cold and he just pushed the wrong buttons and I
vented. You can only take Martin in small doses.

For a positive comment about him, he does post references for many of his
more down to Earth claims.

I would like to challenge Martin to post only about Aviation with no
political undertones for one week. I bet he can't do it.

I believe Marty has admitted to never owning an aircraft. And I've never
seen him post about here flying per se.

I, too, would like to know why he posts on an aviation newsgroup. I've
never seen him start an on-topic thread yet. It's one thing to allow
thread-drift to carry you off-topic -- it's another thing entirely to NEVER
talk about flying.

Personally, I think he's really a 14 year old wannabe, with a 6th-grade
command of English.

I'd say you don't always make your postings on topic either... Some are,
some aren't, and many are superficially related to aviation.

I don't deny it. But most are.

In Marty's case, however, I'm hard-pressed to think of a single
piloting-related aviation topic he's started. IMHO, his attitude, topics,
and confrontational stance seem better-suited to alt.politics.

And that is EXACTLY why I have set up Martin's posts to be automatically
deleted. His constantly negative and off-topic posts are not what I am
looking for in a rec.aviation NG.

Just wish I could find some way to eliminate the posts where his drivel is
quoted by others. Someimes I start a thread which seems interesting, and
then when it suddenly has deteriorated into political crap, realize it
Martin's BS that has caused the "drift" (as Jay H so delicately put it.)
