Why? *I can defend myself very well indeed. You completely missed yet another point. I did in fact defend him for some time, but later felt the need to apologise to the group, for my behaviour in doing that. As a relatively inexperienced pilot I guess I didnt fully appreciate the annoyance that airline pilots and instructors would feel being told they were wrong (without substantiating evidence) by someone who had never flown in his life. As a PhD in physical chemisty ,my attitude changed somewhat when he tried to tell me how the Universal Gas Law didnt apply in the atmophere, despite several polite attempts on my part to explain otherwise. There is nothing wrong with being wrong, as long as you learn from the experience. It is the complete and utter inability to accept and acknowledge when he is wrong that is so irritating. If he wasnt such an obnoxious character and wasnt 16000 km away I would otherwise have loved to take him up ( gratis), although I suspect there is something else lacking that would have prevented him from accepting. I have a suggestion, why dont we have a collection and send Anthony off on a trial instructional flight on the proviso that the instructor publishes an account of his peformance on this group? I'll contribute $20 What about it Anthony , are you up for it? |

Don't feel bad. You're not the first one to try and work with the MXSmoron. Many of the posters who now bash him also tried. I have a suggestion, why dont we have a collection and send Anthony off on a trial instructional flight on the proviso that the instructor publishes an account of his peformance on this group? I'll contribute $20 What about it Anthony , are you up for it? This offer has been made before and more than once. Anthony is too CS to to go up in a small airplane. But, then again, he is to CS to experience real life. For a laugh, look at Anthony's user profile in Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Agateller For more laughs, look go to his profile in VATSIM and then click on "Find all posts by Anthony Atkielski 985811". There are some real pilots and controllers there, but it is amazing how idiots like Anthony can't understand what the people who do this stuff in real life are trying to explain to him. Like Anthony's claim that, similar to trains, there is a "dead mans" switch in airplane cockpits, but they are not simulated. Anthony's VATSIM profile can be found at: http://forums.vatsim.net/profile.php...ofile&u=985811 Just my own observation, have had read access to both this newsgroup AND the old COMPUSERV AVSIG news group for well over two decades now. A lot of people with some great experiences that they were willing to share have left because of the harrassment they got from the Anthony's who post here. Even Splaps Tarver and the Rockaway Loon have shown far more knowledge and understanding about aviation than Anthony, despite his claims to intelligence, ever will. Even the fish who's name we no longer mention would rank above Anthony in understanding aviation, although not by much. It is very fortunate that we have some stalwarts like Dudly and the Bunyip who ignore Anthony's ravings and continue to generously give this newsgroup the benefit of their hard earned experience and knowledge. |
