See? I compared your threats (serious, in my eyes) with him posting your
info. BOTH bad things, IMHO. I did NOT support him.

I have to admit, the first thing I thought as I watched the video, and
before the nasty exchanges was, "I wonder if this guy was filed IFR, or not.
I wouldn't be surprised if he wasn't.


Jim,

I never made any physical threats against him. Just because you are
reading into something and making your own intrepretations about it
doesn't make it so. Serious in your eyes? Well that's your own
problem. I never made a threat, I said I will be talking (or
chatting) to him - which I did. We exchanged several emails and I
never made any threats there either. Ask your buddy Kraus. He called
me names during our email exchange, but I was polite yet firm
regarding my feelings on what he did. If he says otherwise I will
gladly send you or anybody else an email dump to see for yourself.

I've seen a lot of IMC videos, and I can't say the same thought
crosses my mind regarding illegal IFR flying. In fact, out of
probably hundreds of videos I've seen on youtube and flightlevel350, I
can't recall seeing anybody flying around in IMC illegaly. Perhaps
you have 1-2 examples, but I bet you don't have that many. I have
seen other stupid antics on some vids, but they speak for themselves
and are few in number. Really I think it's silly to have to make a
disclaimer on some posted videos. What next? Do we have to tell you
we have parachutes on during so acro vids? Or maybe tell you we got a
wx briefing from FSS? It all reeks of ineffective political
correctness.

Though I've been on this newsgroup by far the longest, I am also on
several other different forums, including AOPA, studentpilot.com,
flightinfo.com, and jetcareers.com. I find myself MUCH more active on
those groups due to what I perceive as an "old boys club" mentality
here. I've always had the feeling here that certain people feel like
this is their personal newsgroup. It's not, it is a public,
unmoderated newsgroup. If you don't like that, go make up your own.
Otherwise just deal with the fact that people may post some videos
without disclaimers, mxmanic will ask questions about 747 hydraulics
on his simulator, and skylune will rant about Boyer. And I do not
have a sig because I use google groups.

That said, I have always enjoyed this newsgroup and most of the people
that post. Every place has its problems, but the good outweighs the
bad here (most of the time anyway).
