Boy, I just checked my log book. I landed at Sarasota Florida on
runway 14 on March 10, 2000 on top of a black spot on the runway.

An honest-to-God FAA controller had cleared a plane for position and
hold and at the same time cleared another airplane to take off.



So, what ****ed you off?


Your know it all attitude.

I never claimed to know it all, but I do know a lot. I think you're reading
things in to my messages.

So do a lot of us. I think that your condescending language on this
particular topic will not serve any purpose to improve flying safety.

I think not.

In future, Steven, do not concern yourself with accuracy. However, be sure
your tone doesn't offend anyone. This is more important.

Interesting... Is it more important for a CFI to be accurate or have a
better 'tone'? I guess I prefer a more accurate CFI 'cause I stuck with my
Private CFI for my Instrument. Don't tell him that though.

It would be best to have both, however.

It's funny, I can relate both to the folks who get irritated with Steven
(though frankly, in this particular set of threads, it seems to me all he's
done is provide accurate information...I didn't see anything irritating
about that), as well as to Steven himself. We both get crap for our "method
of delivery", even when we are providing accurate information, while the
folks who go around cussing and throwing around personal insults are
apparently condoned (activities that Steven and I both practically never
engage in, nor do many of the other "factually correct" folks here).

Just one of the funny things about Usenet, I guess. It's okay to go ad
hominem and use foul language, but don't you dare get caught acting like you
actually might KNOW something.

There is no fear of retaliation.

People say stuff here that they would never say to you face to face. These
kinds of forums have opened up a way for people to say whats "REALLY" on
their minds without any fear.

Some of the things I've seen people say here would get them a severe
beating, or DEAD if they were talking to a person live. I also guess that
depends on who they are talking to.

When I joined the piloting news groups, I thought I would find a more
mature, intelligent group of people. Nope, same ol flaming bull****. (There
are exceptions of course)

Think about it this way before you post, wuld you say this to a person face?
Don't just say "of course", really think about it, and think about social
ettiquette. Pretend you are at a party. You can get into a lively
discussion, but would you flat out insult someone like that? Chances are
you would be standing by yourself if you did. People usually come up with
more "polite" ways to insult people in good company.

Now some people just plain deserve to be told off, but I try not to waste my
energy on those people. I just ignore their post, and continue on my way.

Uh oh, I sense some heat coming my way.......

And your infantile cry for attention by naming another poster in the subject
line will?

Well, you appear to be wrong. Nobody's defending you in this thread. You
are empirically certified as ignored and unloved. Now, OT, it's hard to see
planes on runways. I've missed one; and I'm not alone. Ask.

You're right about that. I regret naming Steven in the original
title. I was wrong to do that and I promise never to do it again.

It's just that I've never felt comfortable with position and hold.
Usually it's because there is another aircraft on a parallel runway
taking off. I have been flying airplanes for 40 years now and there
is no good reason to substitute situational awaresness for some other
"higher power".

I don't need any "defending".

That's commendable. Pardon my net-nanny routine.
