A resource, rather than a playground. No, I don't see it as a community.
People who treat mere newsgroups as communities may have some unresolved
issues. Not every venue for human interaction has to turn into a social club.

Classic Sociopathic mindset.


Were I to make a similar proclamation about aviation, you'd criticize me for
not being a credentialed expert in the field. What are your credentials for
diagnosing psychological problems?

And it has never struck you for a second that through a bit of tact
and empathy might not have driven away those of us who were initially
eager to assist you?


The ones who are driven away don't represent much of a loss. They tend to be
people with large egos that are unsupported by their knowledge bases or
intellect; blowhards who like to sound like experts but are not. They either
cannot answer my questions, or they give the wrong answers.

People who are smart, and not insecure, and reasonably mature, and
knowledgeable on the subject in question will answer without the knee-jerk
emotional response of the group described above, and they will not be driven
away. They are sometimes hard to hear above the background noise created by
the first group, they they are usually there, somewhere.

I would suggest that the level of animosity directed towards you on
this and many other forums you participate might suggest that your
definition of maturity does not suffice, no.


Animosity is not characteristic of maturity. What animosity have I manifested
in return for this hostility?

More importantly, why are so many posts discussing me, and not aviation? I
wish I could discuss aviation more, and me less.

It is called common sense, something you lack in spades.

If you want to use more than common sense do a search on "DSM
301.81". It's interesting trying to decide which of the 9
characteristics of a narcissistic personality disorder do NOT apply to
Anthony. Among professional shrinks if at least 5 fit the
classification is considered valid.

Peer judgements, not self diagnostics, are fairly reliable. Re self
judgement, yeah, like a narcissist would admit it.

I wonder why my wife, who is a psychologist, had that funny look in
her eye when I was asking her about this.

Hmmm.
