Let's move on

I am begining to think that it is just the nature of these groups.

It is human nature.

The value of POA is that Anthony isn't there and wouldn't be tolerated. He
single handedly is primarily responsible for the demise of this group.

Sorry, Doc -- gotta disagree there. This group could've easily withstood a
hundred years of MX-types -- but it only took a few months for the more
vitriolic trolls (Bertie and Maxwell) to completely destroy it.

Whatever you blame its demise on, you're right on regarding Pilots of
America. It's like a breath of fresh air over there, full of helpful,
knowledgeable, friendly and respectful pilots and learned conversation about
piloting. In fact, it smells just like this newsgroup used to smell, before
the trolls decided to wallow here.

I agree with Viperdoc that MX is responsible for the demise of this group.

Atkielski is a cancer. He admits he's been trolling for decades, and he is
very good at it. He chooses his words very carefully, with the sole purpose
to irritate.

He's a selfish little prick with no absolutely no redeeming value.

Bertie and Maxwell are simply secondary infections. When someone dies from
cancer, a secondary infection (or heart failure, or whatever) is what kills
them. Without Atkielski poisoning these groups, Bertie and Maxwell would
have never thrived.

Anthony has become boring, engagements with him are without
resolution, so I will let him hang in peace, or pieces.

I've taken to replying to him via email (as was the original intent if
usenet) . He has yet to respond, so I always get the last word.

It's a refreshing change.

That's not really true now, is it. He is a participant and an instigator,
but without others cooperating the endless arguing over meaningless detail
would not ensue.

Probably true. So, knowing that, when one feels that they are getting
nowhere with him it can be your choice to take the high road and quit
communicating rather than resort to the tedious back and forth that almost
always takes place instead. It's the classic example of wrestling with a
pig - those who participate always come out looking worse than the
instigator.

I gotta tell ya, as a fellow pilot I am sometimes embarrased by what is said
on this NG by other pilots while they try to get Mx to admit he is wrong or
somehow made a mistake.

Yes, it is true. He is the root cause of the demise. I agree it takes the
participation of others, but if he never came along, I honestly believe this
group would not have dried up and blown away.

So the question is: Who will change? I think it's clear we know who
won't.

This group is a long way from dead, except perhaps as a vanity site for a
certain braggart and his sycophants.
