An Unexpected Finding Among Commercial Pilots

wrote

Anthony, why do you insist on posting to this forum? Are you a
masochist?

If you like getting reamed so much, why don't you just walk into a gay
bar, drop trou, bend over and yell out "take me, I'm yours". That's
pretty much what you are doing posting here on RAP.

He will be here until he is ignored, and nobody responds to his posts... and
I fear that will never happen. I don't know why people feel the need to
respond, but respond, they do.

I don't think there is much more time left until there are few left to
respond. Many have already left; more are leaving all the time. Many more
will follow.

It is a pity to see a group lose their focus, all because of one person. I
think that is his primary goal, perhaps. He will never amount to anything
that would allow him to join the flying, so wipe out something that real
pilots enjoy; deprive them of something, because he is deprived of something
they can do.

I have no doubt that if he were to seek mental health professionals, they
would find some real and classifiable conditions, and could be helped to
lead a more normal life, in time. Doubtful that will ever happen, either.

So the status quo continues. He makes stupid posts, people insult him, and
on it goes, where it stops, nobody knows.

I agree.

Agree here too, however, people also check back to see if the smoke has
cleared yet.

Not exactly 1 person. Bertie & Mx have enough traffic to set up their
own group.

The people who respond to each and every nonsense post are apprentice
enablers.

I've blocked MX, but when he posts something, there is a veritable storm
of responses by people trying to straighten him out. Why Bother? Who Cares
if MX thinks that he can now tell his ass from a hole in the ground. Why get
all gleeful about telling an idiot he is an idiot? Do these folks think the
idiot listens? Or cares? Bertie claims he can do this forever. So? Why would
anyone want to?

Historically, our ancestors didn't have to worry about entertaining the
MX's of the world. Natural selection kept them out of our way. Now, we are
keeping them alive, for whatever reason, and the rest of us have to deal
with them even if it is only to step over them. If someone wants to play
with them, fine, but do it outside.

Never try to teach a pig to sing, it wastes your time and annoys the
pig.

Well, I can cross post to it, but I doubt Anthony will come. He never
even replies to my posts ;(



Really, though, if you don't know how to use akillfile, you really
should learn.

Like I said, I have killed Anthony. It is YOU I'm considering. On
one hand you seem to have genuine knowledge of aircraft and how to stay
alive in them. On the other hand, I have to wade through 30+ "You're an
idiot" messages to read anything you have to say. Maybe you could settle on
some code like "This is a message To/From Idiots", and that way the rest of
us could just filter the crap out.

I have to admit, even the "Idiot" posts have their moment...

From a recent thread:

"Is not."

"Is too."

"Is not."

"Is too."

"Did you just stamp your foot?"

There were instructions posted earlier this year (February, I believe) how
to killfile the eunich and any replies to her posts. It was specific to
Outlook

It was along the lines of:

if the eunich posts, mark the thread as ignored

change settings to not show ignored threads.

So killfile me.

Used to just use the Bunyip handle for flaming and another for making
"regular " posts, but now I'm too lazy to change my handle from one to
another.

I'm worth it.

Especially if you admonish people to ignore him after each of his posts.

I don't know why people feel the need to respond, but respond, they do.

Physician, heal thyself.

Actually, there has been no mass exodus, beyond the usual turnover. There may
be one or two who have assumed or will assume a low profile after attempting
things that they should not have. However, the bulk of newsgroup participants
are not bothered by me (or by you) and are completely indifferent to my
participation. It's a big group, and there are only a handful of bullies and
whiners on it, vocal though they might be.

It is a pity to see a group lose their focus, all because of one person.

For someone who considers me unimportant, you certainly have an exaggerated
notion of my influence.

I think that is his primary goal, perhaps.

I think that a few people here are irritated with me to the point of
preoccupation. That is their problem, not mine.

It reminds me a bit of an old Hitchcock movie in which the protagonist is
obsessed with knives, and in a dinner-table conversation with others the only
word he ever seems to hear clearly is "knife." The others are not talking
about knives, but that is all he is interested in hearing, so to him the
dinner party is obsessed with cutlery.

He will never amount to anything
that would allow him to join the flying, so wipe out something that real
pilots enjoy; deprive them of something, because he is deprived of something
they can do.

I'm surprised you haven't thrown in a threat to world peace and prosperity.

So the status quo continues. He makes stupid posts, people insult him, and
on it goes, where it stops, nobody knows.

Hmm.
