Commercial Aviation question - LAX

Steve Foley writes:

Take off into the wind. There's a good chance the prevailing winds are from
the west, so most take-offs would be toward the west. If the wind was from
the south on Monday night, they would have taken off to the south.

All of the runways at LAX are east-west. At night aircraft are directed over
the water for both arrivals and departures unless there's quite a strong wind
from the west. Heavies don't care much about light winds.

Everything I said is correct, irrespective of whether or not I fly or where I
live.

One of the key principles of debate is that you must address the issue under
discussion, not the person discussing it. The latter is considered ad
hominem, and it is very bad form (not to mention very ineffective).

You are from time to time correct. but frequently in error. In real
life, not formal debate, we consider the source of the information as
one parameter in judging its credibility. Your standing has been badly
eroded.

You speak only for yourself. I'm familiar with the technique of forced
teaming, and it doesn't work with me.

See above. In my experience, nothing does more damage to a person's position
in debate than personal attacks.

You blithering idiot, what I wrote was not a personal attack but a
scholarly observation. The first phrase of this reply may come close
to the edge of scholarly observation, but probably does not qualify as
a personal attack: Blithering "senselessly talkative", idiot "an utter
fool, (in the context of aviation newsgroups see also pest and
Mxmanic)".

You're doing it again.

The first phrase of this reply may come close
to the edge of scholarly observation, but probably does not qualify as
a personal attack: Blithering "senselessly talkative", idiot "an utter
fool, (in the context of aviation newsgroups see also pest and
Mxmanic)".

When you are prepared to discuss the topic of the thread, let me know.
