So you see this forum as nothing more than a playground to exploit to get your needs met, not as a community of fellow human beings who share some of your interests... 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. -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |

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. |
