Steering on the taxiway

Most of Manic's questions seem to start off in that direction, true. But he
frequently hunts down a way to turn it into an argument, even when he gets
an answer that is accurate. Often he simply states that the answer cannot
be correct because it doesn't work that way for him in the sim, or because
he has some preconceived notion that itself may be inaccurate. Other times
he will find some minor detail within the response that is refutable, and
take immediate action to refute it in an attempt to discredit the entire
post. It's disingenuous, inflammatory, and it is not interesting to pilots
on this newsgroup.

He continues to repeat the same pattern over and over again. Many of us
gave him the benefit of the doubt for too long a time.

I am having some difficulty understanding why some here find it
necessary to chastize you for being a "sim" pilot. I know some local
"sim" pilots who would love to do the real thing, but are unable for
various reasons.

No one is chastising him just for being a Sim pilot. What we are chastising
him for being a troll.

If that is your circumstance, I hope it is temporary, and you may
experience the thrill of piloting a real aircraft someday.

He has indicated that he has neither the money nor the interest to actually
pilot a real plane. He has disdain for pilots and believes flying to be too
risky. I am convinced that his entire purpose on this newsgroup is to
improve his own ego by demonstrating how well he can manipulate the "elite
pilots" on this newsgroup.

Ignore the rants, there are some here that will answer your question
properly and correctly..

But that won't stop him from arguing with them, either.
