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?


Yes.

And no matter what that person's response was, it would be equally
valid, whether it was something you considered useful, or a
derogatory comment?


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?

It takes two to discuss aviation, and when most of the replies are from people
like yourself who cannot overcome their personal fascination with me, aviation
tends to fall by the wayside. However, I'm happy to discuss aviation, if I
can find anyone willing to do so.

Would you like to discuss the thread topic? Do you know anything about it?

In addition, you wouldn't conflate flying airplanes with a piddly-ass Microsoft

Both of these are aviation-related, unlike your diatribe.

You are also responding to me and posting nothing about aviation. Thus,
you are incapable of overcoming your fascination with me.

However, I'm happy to discuss aviation, if I
can find anyone willing to do so.


You can't. You have repeatedly been unable to find anyone willing to do
so. Are you insane?

Would you like to discuss the thread topic? Do you know anything about it?


I am uninterested in discussing what I know about aviation with you.

In addition, you wouldn't conflate flying airplanes with a piddly-ass Microsoft
flight simulation program, and pretend that they are the same thing.


Both of these are aviation-related, unlike your diatribe.


And your response here *is* aviation-related?

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.

I tell you what: Since you are either unwilling or unable to discuss anything
except me, and you seem equally unable to resist replying along those lines,
I'll stop it for you.

Will you? How do you propose to stop me from posting?

Is this another example of how you follow the Golden Rule?

If only that were true.

Run away, Anthony, run away and hide! Pretend you're a "real" pilot on
your widdle simulator program on your widdle PC!
