Many times Mx or Le Chaud Lapin will ask a question, get the right answer in a polite manner, and then argue endlessly against that answer, belittling the teacher. I have been here forever, and I have NEVER seen MX belittle anyone. Not once. I've seen him try, but of course, those went over your pointy head. Now, either that's because I don't read every, single thread MX responds to, or it's because my definition of "belittling" differs from yours -- but I have only seen polite responses from him in the face of some VERY demeaning attacks. In this regard, he certainly doesn't fit the M.O. of most trolls. You wouldn't know wat a troll was if it bit you in the nuts. Bertie Yeah, like you could, wanna boi. Like I would. fjukktard.

On May 14, 9:15*pm, "Jay Honeck" Yep, MX was out of line with his
facts -- but in the face of a personal attack like that ("you butthead"?), you've got to be fairly impressed with his calm response. * Some of the so-called pilots here would have immediately defaulted to cuss words and insults. MX is a lot of things -- impolite isn't one of them. Im gonna beg to differ with this one. A year ago or so I answered one of his posts , which I ussually dont do, that had something to do with airliners and balanced field length. He wrote back that I was wrong and some theory that since pilots fly airliners into terain their answers cannot be trusted. And I was polite to the guy !

(You are the only one I call names on this list ) Frank, I agree w/you. It's a different version of impolite. It's the inexperienced-yet-authoritative, condescending arguments and tone with people who have actual experience and knowledge. It's the practice of baiting with what appear to be innocent, genuine questions only to courteously tell others who respond that they're full of sh*t. It's not the more typical in-your-face name-calling; it's the condescending blanket generalizations about people with *actual experience* not having a clue while HE has a clear, accurate understanding. That's not as blatant or easily recognizable as "impolite" as calling someone a "butthead", but it is impolite just the same, albeit more cleverly so. |

But Usenet is a fire hose of ideas from which one may selectively sip.
Some see it as a virtual tavern, others as a worldwide egalitarian forum like mankind has never before witnessed. It's creators envisioned an open vehicle for rapid news dispersal nobly rooted in self governance. It is all those things, and more. Ultimately, Usenet is what we make it. Glorious, ain't it? Even in its current state, this forum is...fun. As I've said before, this, too, shall pass. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

I *am* saying he's primarily on-topic, occasionally asks really good questions, and is never overtly rude.

That's not as blatant or easily recognizable as "impolite" as calling
someone a "butthead", but it is impolite just the same, albeit more cleverly so. Agree 100%. But in that regard, this sort of subtle "impoliteness" is de rigueur amongst the population in general nowadays. At least its clever, which is more than you can say about the other trolls here. Ignorance is not necessarily abated by becoming a certificated pilot. (Witness the number of pilots who responded negatively to my flying to Florida VFR using on-board XM weather.) At least MX's ignorance often leads to good topics. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |
