Let's move on
Anthony will never admit he's wrong, even though he's asked some of the most
naive and ignorant questions, ones that truly demonstrate his lack of knowledge and experience. For the real pilots and students, I suggest joining Pilots of America, a moderated group. It is what this NG used to be, before it was ruined by Anthony and his likes. The discussions are related to and about flying, with reasonable discourse and even disagreement. At least it appears that the posters respect each other for the fact that they actually fly and have experienced the real thing. During my brief participation, I have never seen it descend into the usual trolling that Anthony thrives on. So, give it a try at Pilots of America and let Anthony argue with himself and the other wannabes. |

It wasn't so much ruined by Mx as much as those who cannot take a pass on endlessly arguing with him over some ridiculous detail, or have made it their mission to expose him as a non-pilot, all with the seemingly honorable goal of protecting the helpless student who might read something here and then die as a result. What a crock. Anyone with half a brain knows how to treat information posted on a newsgroup, or anywhere else online for that matter. They don't need help from a few crusaders. |

What a crock. *Anyone with half a brain knows how to treat information posted on a newsgroup, or anywhere else online for that matter. *They don't need help from a few crusaders. I tend to agree. But I refuse to respond to him , not because he is not a pilot or because he poses a risk to students or that he wants to engage in endless argument, there are others that do that also. I dont mind a robust debate myself ,its all part of the learning process. No I just refuse to debate with him simply because of his intellectually dishonesty ( some would say disability). If I have a debate I expect the outcome to be one of 3 possibilities. 1. I have been proved wrong and I acknowledge that and appreciate the fact that I have learned something 2. I have proved the other person wrong, and they acknowledge that and I gain some personal satisfaction that I have helped someone, and that perhaps in 200 or so hours of piloting an aeroplane I might have actually learned a thing or two. . 3. The debate is about something that there is no right or wrong answer and both parties agree to disagree. The outcome of a debate with Mxs is rarely any of the above the 3. He has a total inability to admit he is wrong. He will either deny it or try to deceitfully change the topic of what was disagreed with. He is just a total waste of oxygen. Its a free choice of course but I highly reccommend the ignore approach. Terry PPL Downunder |

The ignore approach has been advocated, but there will always be someone who
takes the bait, and this starts the endless cycle again. Hey, I could care less whether anyone chooses to lurk here and watch the repetitive and useless interaction with someone who has no experience and nothing to offer. I simply offered the alternative, which is Pilots of America, and other boards, that are actually focused on aviation related topics, and not Anthony. |

On Aug 14, 5:57*am, "Viperdoc" The ignore approach has been
advocated, but there will always be someone who takes the bait, and this starts the endless cycle again. Sad isnt it ? Agree 101 % that the attention starved doofus would just go away if no one responded. I simply offered the alternative, which is Pilots of America, and other boards, that are actually focused on aviation related topics, and not Anthony. Im gonna respectfully disagree on the POA argument. I have made a few passes through that board (And others) and here is what I have noticed. First, this seems to be a close knit group of mostly East Coast pilots who all get together on occasion . While this is good for them, for the rest of us it amounts to a large quantity of non aviation related "Small talk" amongst aquantances that wouldnt hold anyone elses intrest. Second, the level of expertertise and experience over there seems to be quite a bit lower than over here. Once again, this is good for small talk but if you want meaningfull aviation discussion you might keep looking. You can post just about any response you want on POA no mater how inaccurate as long as you dont flame or use expletitives . In fact, they have their own versions of MX over there. They are the ones who know anything about everything and a couple of them sugest or imply much more experience in much bigger airplanes than what they actually have, just like our well known troll. Take a look at the post counters and you can see members with thousands of posts and many of the high post count members also have the least meaningful (Aviation wise) content. I am begining to think that it is just the nature of these groups. FB |

The mystery is why anyone would attempt to prove a point one way or another with him when they know this going in, and yet the same people do it over and over and over again. |

I've played with the troll, but it's stopped being fun. He and the threads have gotten boring. |

They want to "win," not realizing that it's not a contest. Since it is not a contest, they cannot win or lose, and so they end up frustrated. |

Anthony can not ever admit that he's wrong, even when it is blatantly
obvious to those of us who actually fly. |
