Yed. Those who call him a troll are simply wrong. He's asking
reasonable, intelligent questions about how real airplanes work, are
equipped, etc. I haven't seen him start an off-topic thread yet - more
than I can say for most of his detractors.

And he does pose questions many doorknobs with licenses
should be thinking about.

That's the reason he arouses such intense hatred. He's asking mostly
reasonable questions, and the people reading this realize (at some
level) that they should know the answers, and not only is it quite
common for them not to know the answers, quite often they haven't even
thought about the questions.
