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. Ken |

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. |

Here again, you're making an ad hominem argument. I ain't adding homo's to anything, "buttman" already did that!!!. You're talking about the person, not the topic at hand. Wish you wouldn't have used the phrase "topic at hand", it's your gooey keyboard. Additionally, "Buttman" could mean all sorts of things, and isn't necessarily an indication of homosexuality. Care to elaborate? And furthermore, not everyone considers adumbration of homosexuality pejorative, so your thinly veiled insult might well be without effect. 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 |

Care to elaborate? 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? Well you're the one calling homo's dumb. I haven't called homosexuals anything. 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?

I don't understand the question. |
