GA is priceless

How would people wanting
to ridicule Mx prevent such an explanation...

It adds noise. I have found that he responds (slowly) to careful,
focused discussion which teases out the roots of his misconception or
miscommunication. However, this is hard to see if a great percentage of
the comments to him and about him are designed to ridicule. I will also
add that the pilots here ridiculing him have made aviation comments that
are also not very accurate or perceptive. (I've seen, and even made,
such errors myself in other unrelated threads, so this is not unique to Mx).

Mx's noise doesn't seem to be intended that way. It is just the natural
result of a headstrong attitude. However, those who ridicule him make
noise that =is= intended to be noise. It hides what signal there is,
and that is also intentional.

This makes it hard to tell whether Mx is here to learn, or not. I think
he is, and is just not very good at the necessary social skills.

Well put.

While I admit that I don't understand MX, I also don't understand the
ire he draws out of so many (normally) level-headed folks. He's just
not *that* annoying, and is occasionally enlightening.

I think it's because when Mx clumsily questions the answers he gets from
pilots, those pilots take it personally as a hit to their ego.

Dang, I wouldn't have lasted two hours here, if I took stuff like that
personally....

Ego ... it is a difficult concept.

Hits on egos are, to a degree, an objective thing. There can be no doubt
that MX hits on egos of people trying to answer his questions. I am
convinced that he does so intentionally, but admit that is not clear. How
anyone cannot be annoyed and offended by his way of treating people is
beyond me.

I don't understand how (normally) level headed folks can NOT get irked. He
IS that annoying, and I don't understand your defense of him. I'm about
ready to stop reading your posts, to get rid of his posts. I can't believe
that it is coming to this.

He will never be part of the solution to get more people flying. In
contrast, I would say that a lot of people that might be learning to fly,
have stopped reading this group because of him.

worse yet, someone who is learning to fly might actually listen to him!
The kill file makes it somewhat manageable. If people would just quit
responding to his bluster and inanity we'd be fine.

Most people are completely indifferent to my presence here,
particularly those who are level-headed.

I couldn't agree more.
