Violins

[Morgans[_2_]]

I just wanted to know.

For those of you still participating in thread segments with Mxsmanic, how
does it feel to be played like a violin?

Sad.

I'm still not 100% convinced that the metaphor of 'being played like a
violin' is necessarily correct for MX, because I honest believe he has
an antisocial personality disorder which prevents him from
comprehending the ettiquite which he so flagrantly violates.

Its frustrating for me actually, because I think he _could_ actually
have been a worthwhile contributor to this group... There is no doubt
that he has some knowledge, I even think his 'outsiders' viewpoint
might have proven to be a good catalyst for us to further our own
'real pilot' examinations of what we do as our passion... Before his
arrogant streak surfaced, I think that his questions provoked some
very interesting and real discussion among us.

I do have to admit that now it is pretty clear that no amount of
sanity or rationalization with him is going to manage to express to
him why he irritates the hell out of people on here...

Its rough, it reminds me of my work with mentally ill in college
actually... dealing with people who were clearly intelligent, clearly
COULD offer something to society, but were so ****ed up from years of
neglect and from escaping into their own mind as a coping mechanism
that they had lost their basic ability for empathy, and instead
carried on like antisocial clowns. You see the disorder, you wish it
wasn't there, but no amount of leading the horse to water will make
them drink...

I DO think that much of the damage MX does is wrought by the
understandable, but unproductive responses to his disorder rather than
the disorder itself... But that's neither here nor there.

I also understand that by being one of the people who continues to
respond to him, I am only further rewarding his antisocial behavior...
and at some point I need to grow up and realize that I come on here
for reasons other than trying to help out arrogant, anti-social,
mental cases... and for that I'm sorry... I need to do a better job of
trying to control myself and just ignore him.

For that, I'm sorry.

Heh, did you not see the Dodecahedron of Pain™ I led him into with his
own words?

Everywhere a corner, and none of them safe from logical reasoning.

I must agree, it is quite sad.

Just came back after taking a break when MX was at his most frenzied.
I think a good example of how to eliminate his annoying prattling is
in the thread Flying in USA vs Europe. I went through this and
basically no one responded to his inane commentary. So he left.

Nice Work

Yep, that thread was/is the perfect example of how to deal with a
troll. Sometimes it's really hard to resist answering his more
inflammatory baiting, but it's the only way.

I've been thinking of taking fiddle lessons and starting a Ceili Band.

Going to war without the French (i.e. Mxsmanic) is like going camping
without your violin.

Robert, he's not French. He lives in France. So is annoyingness can't even
be blamed on his nation of origin.

If Americans had gone to war without the French, the USA would still be a
colony of the UK.

And if the American's hadn't gone to war you would be speaking German
in your coffee shop.

Correction: If Hitler hadn't been so incompetent, we'd all be speaking German
now. And there would be no Americans if France hadn't spent everything it had
to bankroll their independence from England.

Moral: Trying to call in old notes is an exercise in futility.

Try this.
Go to google.com and type in "French Military Victories", then select
"I'm feeling lucky". The result is...
"Did you mean: french military defeats?" ;)

I also have him and all his thread branches blocked. I looked in to see how
many saps were still responding to him, and was disheartened to see that
there were still many saps "playing his tune."

I had intended it to be a quick "one line'er" editorial comment. Others
went with it.

Sorry. I'll shut up about this now.

You guys need to stop talking about MX, and talk about flying. Posts
like these are off-topic and more annoying than MX's posts.

In this case BwB or BoB will do no good, either. Total shunning is the only
thing that will work. The rest is like on Teflon...

In principle, I agree with Jim, and try my meager best.

However, since it really has not happened that way, I am not sorry to see
Bertie on the case. We just need to also attract BWB and bring back BOb...

I only just added a score to that particular poster's message id and
references, and the number of unread articles in this newsgroup dropped
from nearly 500 to just over 200.
