Default Unusual Distractions

Why is it hyperbole or over the top? By your own admission you have never
flown and are afraid to fly.

You simply have no basis of comparison between playing a computer game and
the actual act of flying. Until you have done both, any pronouncements on
your part are based upon conjecture and supposition only.

This is why you have absolutely no credibility, and your statements lack
credence.

Because it is such a severe exaggeration of reality. In trying to make your
point, you exaggerate your argument until it loses all credibility.

It's rather like counselors who warn teenagers that the first time they try a
drug they'll turn into addicts and end up in the gutter. Teenagers know that
this is a ridiculous exaggeration, and they tend not to take anything they
hear seriously once they realize that the counselor has chosen exaggeration
over truth.

I have flown many times, as a passenger. I'm not afraid to fly; I rather like
flying. I don't know how you reached these conclusions.

I have done both.

You're entitled to your opinion; I disagree with it. Others may form their
own opinions.

Just another bunch of your lies again, like saying you didn't have a blog.
Flying as a pax in the back of a heavy you might as well be in a FedEx box-
it is not the same as piloting an airplane, just like playing on your
computer is similar to piloting a real plane, like a Baron. If you claim
your experience as a passenger is the same as piloting, you truly are
delusional.

You have also stated in this NG that you are afraid of stalls and other
maneuvers including acro, yet these are all part of flying (steep turns and
stalls).

Playing a computer game will never be the same as actually flying,
particularly one as limited as MSFS. As has been written many times here, go
get a lesson or even a few hours of flying time in a trainer, and then come
back and share the experience.

Otherwise, you will never have any credibility and will remain a whining
wannabe.

As intelligent as he thinks he is, he'll never figure that one out.

You see, you're exaggerating again. I'm not a liar, so calling me one is
quite an exaggeration. And I've never had a blog.

Steep turns and stalls are not aerobatics, and I'm not afraid of them per se.
I just don't like extreme maneuvers; they increase risk.

I just wanted to point out to you that by responding to MX with content-free
posts, you do nothing but lower the signal/noise ratio even further.

In other words, plonk.

Uh yes, I know.

This is news to you?

And thus the signal/noise ratio is lowered even further by letting everyone
know.

Or socially isolated pontificators who say someone who had 2 DUIs
decades ago as a kid must be an alcoholic.

Any response to your drivel doesn't require credibility
