The problem with him is that he asks a seemingly good question then when

This is a fair comment - he is argumentative, but that label
can apply to many here :-) He does tend to argue based on
his understanding, which is often wrong and often based on
his flight sim experience, but the point is that he does it
because he believes in his position, not because he's trying
to be a troll and merely stir up argument. I suspect that
what most object to is his style of questioning, coupled
with some natural defensiveness of a sim pilot under attack
in a pilot forum.


But Todd, you did it with one issue. He has done it with just about every
single thread he has started. He has also done it on other non-aviation
newsgroups and sounds like, from an earlier post, he did it in the MSFS
newsgroup as well.

He has not once in the many threads admitted that he was wrong on a issue.
That shows me that he just likes to heat and stir the pot and watch the
bubbles which is a troll no matter how Wikipedia defines a troll.
