Why The Hell... (random rant)

I think that's a bit backwards. People who are stupid are likely to be
hostile.

Odd..you are clearly the poster child for stupidity, but you don't see
hostile.

Something you should know: Anthony claims to be a proponent and
practitioner of the so-called "Golden Rule," so he treats others as
he feels they should treat him.

So, when he attempts to label people as stupid (even if only by
implication), or treat others as if they're idiots, remember, he's
actually proposing that he be treated as if he's stupid too. At least
it's consistent.

No. When I give honest assessments of something or someone, I expect others
to do the same.

Honest does not equal true.

Honest just means that you aren't lying when you spout your ignorant,
incorrect, nonsense; you really believe your own crap.

So when you posted this:

I don't care how you treat me; you're just a name on a screen.

.... you expected that person to do the same? And no matter what that
person's response was, it would be equally valid, whether it was some-
thing you considered useful, or a derogatory comment? You expect others
who post here to treat you not as a human being, but as "just a name on
a screen?"

Yes.

There is no correlation between validity and utility.

You expect others who post here to treat you not as a human being,
but as "just a name on a screen?"

Yes, I'd prefer that. I'm here to discuss aviation, not people (except within
the context of aviation).

No, you aren't. If this was so, you would do nothing but discuss
aviation, and you wouldn't respond to anything else. In addition,
you wouldn't conflate flying airplanes with a piddly-ass Microsoft
flight simulation program, and pretend that they are the same thing.
Why are you so dishonest?

Irrelevant. You are just a name on a screen. You are not a human
being, and nobody is to regard you as one, or treat you with any form
of respect. Nobody is obliged to care why you're here, and nobody is
obliged to discuss things on your terms. This is what you just agreed
to, above.
