This whole topic discussion is why I and many others have pretty much
quit reading it, and left this group, except for the occasional check
back. I think the OP had a sincere suggestion, but the response
quickly deteriorated. DH used to have good advice on flying but,
unfortunately, his rants in this thread demonstrate his recent descent
into the gutter with the likes of BtB and his ilk. Too bad. It was
good while it lasted. MX is a charactor, but not remotely as
offensive as the bitter crowd who have taken over this group.

Well I think a fella using a handle like "Buttman",
which advertises his homosexuality is hardly
someone I'd wanna be in cockpit with. I'm ok
with the homo's but do they need to advertise in
a piloting group. Not everyone is as open minded
as I am.

"Open minded" is not a mainstream expression for having a hole in your
head, Kenny.



Bertie


What do you call a bunyip with half a brain?

Extremely gifted.

Here again, you're making an ad hominem argument. You're talking about the
person, not the topic at hand.

Additionally, "Buttman" could mean all sorts of things, and isn't necessarily
an indication of homosexuality.

And furthermore, not everyone considers adumbration of homosexuality
pejorative, so your thinly veiled insult might well be without effect.

I ain't adding homo's to anything, "buttman"
already did that!!!.

Wish you wouldn't have used the phrase "topic at hand",
it's your gooey keyboard.

Care to elaborate?

Well you're the one calling homo's dumb.

Seriously now: Recently we've been writing software
for a lunar mission, and after doing a lunar parking
orbit I/we had problems doing a manual softlanding
within fuel specs, so I installed an algorthm that
AutoLands using about 2 lines of code. There's a
thrill in landing but even more of a thrill seeing the
commands automatically executed, that I designed,
especially since it was so dang simple.
I could explain it if any of you guys want.

Were super excited about Project Constellation so
we're boneing up on details.
Regards
Ken

Buttman could refer to someone who enjoys looking at women's buttocks, which
is a highly heterosexual behavior for a man.

Well you're the one calling homo's dumb.


I haven't called homosexuals anything.

Are you speakin' from experience or is that statement
a result of a sim?

So you call them nothing.

Compared to playing golf, or owning a 1/2 assed boat,
flying is still a cheap hobby. What a $100/hr gets you
a rental with a CFI, of course if you "Mx" is an invalid,
then that's different...are you?

Neither, it's simply logic.

I don't understand the question.
