I have no bias against pilots. I just know that many of them aren't nearly as
expert in aviation as they'd like to believe, especially the low-time PPLs
that seem to haunt this group (or at least seem to be the most prolific
posters).

I'm sure you see it this way, and there might even be some degree of
truth in what you're saying but after watching your posting on these
groups for a long time I unfortunately can't agree.
If, for example, you put forth in comment what you have said here in
this post about pilots as an isolated and pertinent comment and that
comment was backed up by enough experience flying to make your comment
viable, I could see that.
But you instead make these negative comments about pilots incessantly.
In fact, your negativity about pilots stands out to me and others I'm
fairly certain as a constant.
This unfortunately constitutes a bias that as I have said, weakens
what you have to say.
Anyone can put forth a generalization such as "there are pilots who
aren't as expert in aviation as they'd like to believe". Of course
there are, as there are as well pilots in aviation who are a great
deal MORE expert in aviation than they like to convey to others.
AS a simulator user, you are of course entitled to an opinion of
pilots as is anyone else for that matter. You state a negative
generality about pilots as you do once and it's an opinion. You do it
constantly as you do and it's a bias, and unfortunately, due to your
lack of actual aviation experience, an uneducated bias as well. You
are even entitled to an uneducated opinion about pilots, but as I say,
you do it as often as you do and it constitutes a bias that weakens
any truth in your accompanying comment.

Maybe it's time to stop worrying about pilots and start talking about
aviation.

But you instead make these negative comments about pilots incessantly.

I see self-proclaimed pilots making negative comments about me all the time;
you don't seem too worried about that.

And I don't make negative comments about pilots in general, although I do make
unflattering observations about some of the losers who continually whine in
these aviation groups.

It seems that the ones who are less proficient tend to talk a lot louder and
longer than the ones who are more proficient. Unfortunately for them, I'm not
impressed or swayed by loud, long talkers.

I verify everything people tell me here. If other sources back up a poster, I
add points to his reputation in my book. If he's way off the mark, I scratch
him off the list. A lot of people here are consistently off the mark. They are
far more interested in shouting me down than in actually looking things up to
make sure they are right. But that's the way it usually goes in cyberspace.
It's always the low end of the curve that makes the most noise.

You seem a bit on the irritable side yourself. You get upset if people
disagree with you, although you are civil otherwise. Maybe you need to work on
anger management. I never get upset.

Never getting upset with you is a tool not a positive trait. In my
opinion it's simply part and parcel of your carefully chosen Usenet
"persona". I've watched this coming from you now for a long enough
period to more than get a positive read on you. By not "getting
upset", you simply wade through the virtual tons of negative responses
you carefully generate and achieve what you apparently view as a
"victory" against your antagonists. By doing this you obviously
believe you are in your mind anyway demonstrating to the world your
complete superiority over your adversaries; the pilots you so
obviously believe are your intellectual inferiors. :-)

As I said, you are entitled to your opinions on Usenet. I pop up from
time to time here and give you a shot of my own opinion, but I'm
completely aware of it's uselessness.
In a few more posts, I'll tire of you as I always have done in the
past and move on, simply one more "pilot" who has your number has had
enough of you for one day.ionso

At least one of many /gets it/.

The rest of you are either bored ****less or total fools...or both.

Get upset is a positive trait, then? I have to disagree about that, too.

Actually, I'm not easily upset in real life, either. I often have to
exaggerate or invent emotion in order to get people to take me seriously, as
they assume I cannot be serious about something unless I'm emotional about it.

I think that keeping a cool head is a victory in just about any situation. If
you are carried away by your emotions, bad things tend to happen ...
especially when you are flying a plane (just to try to keep the discussion
connected to aviation).

By doing this you obviously
believe you are in your mind anyway demonstrating to the world your
complete superiority over your adversaries; the pilots you so

They are not necessarily my intellectual inferiors. But if they panic in an
airplane the way they fly off the handle here, they are accidents waiting to
happen. And if I had no conscience, people like them would make me a
billionaire.

You are correct. The only thing that could be a greater waste of time than
getting into a tit-for-tat semantic thumb-twiddling competition with this
contributor is to try to have a serious conversation with him. Did you ever
try agreeing with him? I am the first to recognize the things he does know
about aviation, and to post agreement when I actually do agree, but these
posts never elicit a response, and never go further, because he is not here to
share. He is here to pick at people, to belittle others who have far greater
experience than he. If you make an argument he cannot counter, he hides behind
an insipid ruse, _Explain what you mean by_... trying to get something else to
dig into. He understands that pilots have worked hard to achieve what they
have, and they have far greater motivation than he could ever muster, so he
sees them as easy targets for belittlement, and takes a truly perverse
pleasure in the outrage he is able to inspire by insulting unsuspecting
targets.

It is a safe bet that this contributor is playing similar vindictive games on
other sites where professionals congregate, telling doctors, lawyers,
investors or other experts they do not know what they are talking about.

It must be the sharp witticisms that cut through his cardboard

Says the MSFS game player that has no clue what is involved in flight
planning, one of the most basic and first tasks learned by real pilots,
by his own admission.
