Ok, is there ANYONE here who isn't already familier with Mr. Maniac's
background? Don't be shy - raise your hand.

Anyone?

Nope. I didn't think so.

This poster was a name I didn't recall seeing around, and I thought he was a
newbie that needed to be informed.

A thousand pardons, if that was not the case.

I'm a lurker/occasional poster...

I honestly had not understood what a lot of the problem with MX was
until I read Jay's thread about loosing a friend while flying a few
hours after posting this response to him. (I don't read every thread
on this board) I'm not sure if I would still categorize him as a
Troll in the strictest sense (not that Trollish behavior isn't a very
subjective judgment). I've always considered Trolls to be posters who
intentionally 'stir the pot' to see the emotional reaction without
truly caring about the subject matter. MX on the other hand seems
genuinely interested in flying and aviation, but otherwise fairly
oblivious to how tactless and sophomoric his arguments can sound to
others...

To be completely honest, I suspect that MX is either a child or
autistic adult- clearly intelligent and proud of his knowledge, but
also completely oblivious socially/empathically and a little to eager
to 'show off what he knows'.

I think it would be hard to argue that he hadn't stirred up at least
some reasonably interesting threads on this board... But I can
understand those of you who are sick of it... I'm sorry, I will try
and remember to use the MX: subject tag if/when I respond to him in
the future.

Great idea on the MX in the subject line. We should also do this when
responding, so those that wish to can filter for MX in the subject line. I
for one and more annoyed with the typical half a dozen posts sent to him
insulting him and asking him to stop everytime he asks a question. I find
mentally filter his work easy. Filtering the post sent to him is the
effort. Don't people realize he probably LIKE the insulting posts and
numerous requests asking him to stop?
