Mxsmanic,

Nothing makes real flying inherently superior to simulation as a
hobby.


Once again, you're showing your very serious psychological illness. Get
help! Real help, not simulated help.

Perhaps because you assume that flying in reality is unconditionally
preferable to flying in simulation. However, just as flying for real
has advantages that simulation does not, flying in simulation has
advantages that flying for real does not. Thus, it's entirely to be
expected that some people would prefer simulation to real flight.

I've given examples before, but I can repeat a few. One example is
that flying for real actually requires that one go somewhere. For
people who don't like to travel or commute, this is a huge drawback to
flying for real. Simulation takes you nowhere in real-world terms,
and so it's ideal if you don't actually want to go anywhere.
Simulation allows you to fly without paying the price of actually
moving from place to place, with all the inconveniences that the
latter brings.

I would hazard a guess that "MX" prefers porn/"simsex" to the real
thing, too -- no STDs, no pregnancies, no "red plague," no "headaches,"
etc.

I'm not interested in sex, and I'd prefer flying (real or simulated)
over it any day (provided there were no safety issues).

I agree, although it is frustrating to see an interesting discourse get
disrupted by argumentative comments and lack of logic or experience.

You almost sound like a closet democrat! It must come from living in that
liberal town!

Best wishes.

I agree, but it is clear that there a tons of people on this group that
don't seem to mind the constant interruptions.

I don't understand why; 1) They put up with him. 2) They don't understand
why they can't see that every response of any kind, keeps him around. 3)
This is trolling taken to the ultimate factor. He has done this to other
groups, including groups on breast feeding. His interest in aviation is
just an excuse to troll here.

The ONLY way to deal with a troll is to let them dry up on the vine. Don't
water, feed, or pick them.

Please everyone: Wake Up!!!

are?


Or possibly based on his virtual perception of reality.
