So you make the call Dave. You want to feed his addiction? You want to
help him get his jollies? Be my guest. I'm sticking firmly with those who
think he needs a nice long rest in a rubber room.

I agree with all your points Jay. I just sit back and shake my head at
the Mx posts and replies but it certainly is getting harder and harder.


You see, I think MX is just playing on many pilot's urge to talk about
flying. He gets a kick out of asking questions that he "knows" the
answer to but are "gray" enough to cause controversy to get the most
replies. The more replying posts, the better. The guy gets up in the
morning and asks himself "what can I ask this sorry-ass group today to
get the most responses??" then heads to his computer.

We've all met people who like to chew your ear off with conversation.
You know, the guys that you say "bye" to 5 times before you can
actually leave because you don't want to be rude and cut them off. MX
is just playing on these same folks to generate posts for his own
somewhat dimented ego.

He only gives a **** about what we post as an answer so long as it will
creates more replies. Flames and complaints included. C'mon, do you
really think he honeslty thought Barons have ejection seats??

Unfortuantely, the sad fact is that there will always be flying
conversation-starved pilots who are willing to feed his hunger.

Thus the importance of all of us banding together and NOT replying to his
posts.

Past couple of days, I have seen a reduction in Mx traffic, so this is a
good sign :-)

I know it's hard, 'specially when he directly replies to my own response to
somebody else, but I am determined not to contribute to his trolling ways.

Silent treatment against trolls is the best way to get rid of them. We as
a group can do this and get our group back.

Anybody new that I see popping in that replies to his post, I will let them
know they are dealing with a troll. Hopefully others will give them fair
warning too.

As far as lurkers go, well they certainly have a keyboard to post their own
questions..... They surely don't need Mx to ask their questions.

Questions that have been posted by Mx are not the problems.....

Maybe Mx is a college graduate working on a Ph.D. in psychology and
studying behavior on the internet. And, he just happened to like flying
(sim or otherwise) and is using this as his research. Just a thought.

Interesting theory but his history when searched on Google by doesn't back
it up. Here's his home page if you are interested.

Well, his website is certainly far more interesting than those who put
him down. I've hardly ever responded to him, but now I think I'll
join those who do answer him.

Someone else mentioned that he might be a teenager. If so, then I have
to laugh myself silly at the macho types who got their panties all tied
up in a wad over his answers. How can anyone waste their lives
throwing hatred at a know-it-all teen?

Moreover, I just realized something crucial. Mx is in France, where
people aren't just rude to foreigners, they're rude to each other. So
it's no wonder he posts the way he does. He's a product of his
environment.

I might be in my fifties, but I can admire a kid with such a strong
(albeit weird) personality. And I can see why he'd ruffle the feathers
of weaker souls and those with sticks up their pompous you-know-whats.

If you can admire a guy that can barely make a living and that attacks women
because of their breastfeeding decisions you have some pretty damn low
standards.

Someone barely making a living doesn't bother me, since that's a
relative thing. Any anti-breastfeeding opinion would bother me if he
were older or had kids. Actually, it's hard to find anyone without
kids who is enlightened on that topic. Where was that on his website?

So are we also now going to have to ask each person on this group what
their breastfeeding opinions are? Might as well start a political
debate too. Sigh.

Not such low standards that I have to resort to half-truths.

Did you mean the thread in rec.travel.air in 2001? Where the topic
was a woman whose bottled breastmilk was thrown away by an airline
before boarding? Where Mxsmanic finally suggested (as did others)
that she breastfeed? Where when it was revealed that she wouldn't
breastfeed because she was too embarrassed, that Mxsmanic suggested
water to keep the baby hydrated since she refused to breastfeed over a
12 hour flight? Where people jumping in the middle of the thread with
no clue how it started, got this all mixed up?

If that was the "attacks" you meant, then I have no problem with them,
since they weren't attacks at all.

I just had a look at his site...

Impressive! Fab pix, tons of info.....
