I give up, after many, many years!

I do not know about you, but given a choice between riding in an airplane

and an aerodynamics engineer who has no piloting experience, I'd go with
the certificated pilot. ;-)

When choosing an aircraft, however, I'd go with the aircraft designed by an
engineer, rather than one designed by a pilot.

He came out here, asked the pilots a question then proceeded to refute
every single thing they said. Not just me ASEL pilots like me, but just
about everybody.

Of course so does MX, but at least he's an *entertaining* arrogant
asshole.

Sometimes you have to speak their language. My purpose wasn't to entertain
people. If you want, however, I'll tell you some knock-knock jokes. I'm
sure everybody appreciates your encouragement of his behavior, by the way.
Nice job, Ash.

I find it to be tremendously ironic that these recent monster threads
revolving around MX have led me to killfile several people who respond to
him but not to killfile him.

That's your choice. Different people come to the forum for different
reasons. I'm here to share my experience and learn from the experience of
others, and I read a whole lot more than I post.

If you get to the point where you're typing in all caps, or having to
wave your certificates in his face, take a moment to step back and think
about whether your reply adds any value to the group.

I answered his question initially because the question had value to the
student pilots in the student group. His utter nonsense that followed
merely adds misinformation and, perhaps, satisfies your entertainment
needs.

As to whether "waving certificates" in people's faces adds value, it's not
much different than sourcing an official or authoritative reference, is
it? If we were talking about combat it would be relevant for the readers
to understand that the people in the discussion are a video game geek
versus a combat veteran.

On the contrary, MX started by posting that pilots cannot rely on physical
sensations in instrument flight, and that the instruments must be your
primary source of flight information. Dudley, myself, the FAA, and pretty
much every source on the planet has agreed 100% with this statement, yet --
for reasons known only to y'all -- many posters here have now gone to
incredible lengths to prove MX wrong.

The argument has gone Clinton-esque, by nuancing the meaning of "sensation"
down to the subtlest level. Now, of course, MX has gone off on a zillion
tangents since then, and the signal/noise ratio here has gone back to
unintelligible levels.

I don't know what strange power MX wields over so many here, but it's
creepy.

He hasn't got any power, no more than a person pushing a perfectly round
rock down a completely flat 45 degree grade.

Well, you should know since most of your posts are about him, fjukkkwit.

He's not worth it, my opinion.

OK, let me put it another way. In the movie Jurassic Park, there's a
scene where a researcher sticks her hand in a pile of dinosaur crap,
digs around, and pulls out an undigested berry. I'm sure if I read more
MX, I too might discover a berry, but to me, the price is too high.
