There is no fear of retaliation.

People say stuff here that they would never say to you face to face. These
kinds of forums have opened up a way for people to say whats "REALLY" on
their minds without any fear.

Some of the things I've seen people say here would get them a severe
beating, or DEAD if they were talking to a person live. I also guess that
depends on who they are talking to.

When I joined the piloting news groups, I thought I would find a more
mature, intelligent group of people. Nope, same ol flaming bull****. (There
are exceptions of course)

Think about it this way before you post, wuld you say this to a person face?
Don't just say "of course", really think about it, and think about social
ettiquette. Pretend you are at a party. You can get into a lively
discussion, but would you flat out insult someone like that? Chances are
you would be standing by yourself if you did. People usually come up with
more "polite" ways to insult people in good company.

Now some people just plain deserve to be told off, but I try not to waste my
energy on those people. I just ignore their post, and continue on my way.

Uh oh, I sense some heat coming my way.......

In future, Steven, do not concern yourself with accuracy. However, be
sure your tone doesn't offend anyone. This is more important.

Interesting... Is it more important for a CFI to be accurate or have a
better 'tone'? I guess I prefer a more accurate CFI 'cause I stuck with
my
Private CFI for my Instrument.

It would be best to have both, however.

It's funny, I can relate both to the folks who get irritated with Steven
(though frankly, in this particular set of threads, it seems to me all
he's done is provide accurate information...I didn't see anything
irritating about that), as well as to Steven himself. We both get crap
for our "method of delivery", even when we are providing accurate
information, while the folks who go around cussing and throwing around
personal insults are apparently condoned (activities that Steven and I
both practically never engage in, nor do many of the other "factually
correct" folks here).

Just one of the funny things about Usenet, I guess. It's okay to go ad
hominem and use foul language, but don't you dare get caught acting like
you actually might KNOW something.
