I think the latter. I just have trouble believing that someone who was
REALLY a troll would continue to use the same handle for so many years on
all of the various newsgroups where he trolls.

They've been calling his number since 2000. Although I found a post from
1998 which seems to predate his troll-like activities. It was even posted
using his real first name.

A very good description of his tactics was posted in 2004 he

They call him a troll there, but I think he is just some sort of manic
depressive schizophrenic. He desperately seeks validation and uses his
sophistry to get it, at least in his own mind.

If you google MXSManic in Google Newsgroups, you will get a pretty thorough
listing of the various newsgroups where he has been bashed over the years,
including sci.med, soc.men, alt.support.diet, alt.support.shyness,
rec.travel.air, alt.os.linux-slackware, rec.roller-coaster, and others.

Of course I shouldn't leave this one out, from alt.games.microsoft.flight-

Default How many instruments can I use for VFR?

Hi again guys,
So I just looked through the 40 replies that this guy got started. I
have to admit to feeling like I fell for his game. I thought a real
student was looking for some help on a checkride. But that aside, I've
also seen a lot of what makes me so proud to be a pilot in all of this.
I think pilots really are (as many of you pointed out) concerned about
their fellow aviators out there. We are a close knit, but hugely
extended family. I can fly to a strange FBO, and never having met a
pilot, ask him/her where to get a cheap meal or find some oil. I
remember one time I met a pilot that got stuck at my FBO. I was heading
up to practice some maneuvers, so I offered to drop him off at his
airport 80 miles away- nothing expected in return. I know lots of
pilots with stories like this. And far from being elitists, I think any
of us REALLY like helping eachother- whether it's answering student
questions, simmer questions, or telling the guy in final to watch out
for the ducks that you nearly hit on the runway a few minutes ago. I'm
glad to have gotten a chance to "meet" a lot of you today, so thanks
again. Today mxsmaniac is that duck sitting on the end of the
runway....

I look forward to answering and asking more questions in the future.
And if I ever put my foot in my mouth, just know no that it's never on
purpose

Very well written Cirrus.

I made a long post on "Why do I fly" a couple of months ago. Check out

http://groups-beta.google.com/group/...74582207b32acc

You will see that we are indeed a close knit bunch of people.

I look forward to answering and asking more questions in the future.

Who knows how many times I ate toe jam in newsgroups :-)

No biggie, pick up the pieces and move on, and most importantly learn from it.

You might very well have it nailed correctly. If this is his issue, it makes
it all the more a shame.
I know more than one simulator pilot who has come into the real aviation
venue successfully and gained wide acceptance because of their friendly
approach and constant quest for knowledge. Its so easy to be appreciative
and friendly.
The strange thing is that he actually asks some very intelligent questions
hidden in all that nastiness of his. The obvious thing is that he believes
before he asks them, that he knows more of the answer than the one he will
get.....and mostly he's wrong; so he loses.........and in a way, those who
engage him lose as well, since in many cases the only thing that's advanced
is the level of angst. Oh well........what is it they say...........that's
Usenet!!!! :-)

Like I always told people who were checking out in T6's and P51's; its ok to
put your foot in your mouth once in a while. Just make sure its the LEFT
foot!!! You might need the other one in a hurry someday :-))

What does the right foot control on a T6 or P51?

I don't like coconut, but Shrimp on the Barbie, with their
home-made bread is a meal.

If you like Italian, Carrabba's is great.

rudder because the common accident is a "torque roll" or
another, leaving the runway, stage left.

Well, now I have answers of none and both. One of these answers must
be incorrect.

Yes, well said. I experienced this 2 weeks ago when my airplane
wouldn't start on a nice sunny day and had to be taken down for
maintenence. I was getting my things out of the plane and heading out
to the parking lot when a Dutch pilot in the lounge who had come all
the way from Europe to build hours for an ATP asked me if he wanted to
go fly with him. I was thrilled and it really made my day as he took me
on a long cross country to Harris Ranch and on the way back showed me
how to do an ILS approach at Modesto [this is in Northern CA]. I had no
idea about instrument approaches before this and it was really cool
when he asked me to look out front when we were at decision height at
Modesto. We were lined up perfectly for 28R! I got to fly free with a
stranger for 4hrs and also got my first taste of instrument flight, how
cool is that!
