Unlock your brain and let it think.



In other words, you disagree.


No. I am saying you are looking at this with "tunnel vision".

If you want to learn from this group, know when to step back and open
your mind up. That skill will also serve you well in aviation (not that
you will ever need it) and other diciplines also (you must be working
towards something other than a debating degree).

No. Personal attacks are almost always synonyms for disagreement.

If you want me to learn from you, then discuss the topic of the
thread, not your personal animosity towards me.

Good aviators keep a cool head. People who attack anyone with whom
they disagree do not have cool heads.

It isn't a personal attack. I harbour no animosity towards you.

In fact tunnel vision is a dangerous pilot trait. You are so fixated on
your point you refuse to realize Kev's distinction. Fear of criticism
and interpreting same as a personal attack, is also a bad sign for
somebody flying, well actually anybody really. (I know of some Captains
like that, yes they still exist.)

The fact is this is not in any way a personal attack of any sort. I am
saying you are wrong and missing somebody's point, and why you are
wrong and missing somebody's point.

I do not attack anybody. I could have put up with allot. I don't know
about you really but, I expect kids in school to be argumentative,
arrogant and im-mature. They even go through a phase when they think
they are better than their parents. I also expect them to drive silver
Hondas, all jazzed up and cut people off in traffic. It is all part of
the circle of life. I am very patient and discussing, arguing doesn't
bother me. But your accusation, or attempts to put words in my mouth, I
can not endorse by further participation. This can only degrade into a
spiral dive, so to speak. It's tempting to think I can get through to
you, but then I would be looking at this with tunnel vision.

Since you have wrongly claimed I am attacking you, I am compelled, to no
longer read your posts. That was going too far. Some games I won't play.
So we will part company here.

Have a good day.

(kids, scheese!)

No kidding!!!!!










========================================
Very good. Your flying along and you have stepped down over the vor and
will step down again at 4 DME out and again at 4.8. ATC said something
that didn't quite sound right to you but you keep droning along intent
on hugging the radial you set in, because you are doing a beautiful job
flying it. You've changed frequencies to the airport unicom now as you
were told to on the descent, as the controllers signal dropped out. Your
friend who came along that day kept asking about something, irritated by
his tone of voice you told him your busy flying the approach right now
and you'll explain it on the ground later.

Hand's up who wants in the back seats right now?
