Oh sure, we're all good net troopers and will do whatever you say.
Heh. Not. Mx is just a typical teenager who's talking more from technical reading rather than from life experience. Big deal. If you're a grown up, you can easily deal with that. The real goofballs here are people who insult him without real provocation. Who take his answers too personally. Who often reply with obviously less knowledge. Who reply with one sentence barbs, showing their lack of arguing skills. Take a deep breath, walk away from the computer for a day or two, then come back and contribute. This is Usenet. It's not real life. Regardless... it's here for purposes other than satisfying a "teenage" socipaths fantasies... my list just earned another name. |

I'm sure you're a nice reasonable guy in person. It's just hard to see
that on the net. Well put, Kev. I don't understand the venom MX has inspired here, but I *do* regret it. And, to a certain degree, I fear it, because it shows a side of airmen that I didn't think existed. Sure, he can be obnoxious, and he's got some goofy attitudes toward flying (and life in general, if you ask me) -- but so what? If you don't like what he's saying, don't read it. If you think his threads are stupid, start one of your own. I, for one, find MX to be occasionally enlightening, intensely curious (in some ways), dunderheaded (in others), and I must admit that it's kind of entertaining to watch as some of the regulars here do switchblade backflips as they try to insult him into leaving the group. And to those who pronounce that they regret MX's presence here because his topics detract from the true purpose of this group, I challenge you to bring up some good, useful piloting subjects of your own. Too many of you guys are hunkered down behind your monitors, rolling hand-grenades down the aisle instead of trying to positively impact this group with new topics. To which I say: Stand up and START A NEW THREAD. Move on from this guy, gentlemen! I'll tell you this much -- I admire his persistence. Thin-skinned he isn't. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

I could give you names of airmen that act every bit the same as those who have blasted Mxsmanic in this newsgroup. It would seem that your list of names would be longer than mine, as I don't have a hotel to draw them in.

If nothing else, his posts have greatly increased the number of aviation-related threads and discussions in this group. I see that as a positive outcome, given the prior state of largely OT threads.

But, that's where the *fun* is, Jay; I'm glad that he's volunteered to play the fool. That way, we all can learn from those who provide detailed responses to his misconceptions. Neil |

It would seem that your list of names would be longer than mine, as I don't have a hotel to draw them in. Nope, I'm not kidding. In my 4+ years of experience dealing with guests, airmen (pilots) are invariably a cut above the regular folk who visit our establishment. In fact, I cannot name a single private pilot who has not been honest, friendly, generous, positive, upbeat, and pleasant to be with -- and there have been a LOT of them through our doors. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

I get a chuckle out of "MX's" naivite, but find that there some far more toxic posters out there, such as "Skyloon," MulCahy, etc. I have found that "MX" has been polite, although I think that his world is Fantasyland. |

![]() "Orval Fairbairn" wrote in message news ![]() I have found that "MX" has been polite, although I think that his world is Fantasyland. It's Simulatorland. Maybe for some reason he really wants to fly, but can't. Medical, developmental, psychological, financial... If he posts something, PEOPLE DON'T HAVE TO RESPOND. On the other hand, if people want to respond THEY'RE ALLOWED TO. And if others don't like wading through the subsequent threads NOBODY IS FORCED TO READ THEM. After awhile the circle of more-aviator-than-thou types standing around kicking him about it gets to be more annoying and embarrassing than the stuff he's posting. Ignorance is one thing. Meanness is another. -c |
