Sad day for Mxsmanic

If you're so keenly interested in aviation, take some flight
lessons, for God's sake.

That isn't practical at the moment.

Is there something you haven't told us?
Are you confined to a hospital bed or something?
You know, plenty of people with disabilities still learn to fly.
There are plenty of paraplegics, and some quadriplegics who fly, each with
respect to their own disabilities. There are even blind pilots' flying
associations.

To date I am not aware of any paranoid schizophrenics' piloting associations,
but hey, where there's a will . . .

I don't recall mentioning any disabilities.

You don't recall much, do you?
Oh by the way - why did you dutifully reproduce the preceding text, but wipe
out the part about schizophrenia? Mental illness is not a subject you like to
talk about, is it?

It's a classic MX trolling tactic. He is a master of selectively quoting
people, and then responding only to what's quoted to steer the
conversation in his preferred direction. If you stated that the Earth is
round in a debate with him, he would snip out just enough to make it
look like you were an idiot, and then make a reply that, at least
superficially, makes him look like the only one who knows anything.

I completely disagree. You give him far too much credit.
I don't think he's a master of much, and I don't think his intellectual
dishonesty fools much of anyone. You make it sound like he's sly and
resourceful - I see him as slow, dumb and cumbersome. Getting the better of him
intellectually is extremely easy, and his lame attempts at recovery are
transparent to all. He rarely makes a successful rejoinder to any challenge,
and contradicts himself repeatedly. I cannot recall any instance in which he
has made anyone other than himself look like an idiot.

With respect, I'd urge you to not underestimate MX. I have not tested
him, but judging from the level of his responses I'd judge a
conventional IQ test would find him in the 125 area. That is not to
say his social skills or human interaction skills are advanced -- they
are not.

125's not much. . .
Certainly far from sufficient to substantiate the profile he's trying to cut
here. He's out of his depth and running naked.

Quite a few contributors here who can better that score and better him - and
do, regularly, while making tuna salad in the background.

intellectually is extremely easy, and his lame attempts at recovery are

Yet, does this slow him down, or keep him from posting? Not that I have
ever seen.

So, I put the question to you. Who is the idiot?

The idiot posting the nonsense, or the idiot continually responding?

One can not help it.

The other one can.

Is that clue enough?

Huh? it's not round....

I have an average recall.

Mental illness has no relevance to this discussion.
