VFR "picking his way thru" heavy cells with XM Radio weather

[Story of cluelessly inept pilot narrowly escaping disaster snipped]
Did you happen to note the aircraft's N number?
Someone should relate this incident to the appropriate FSDO office
before the tapes are wiped, so that the pilot can benefit from some
badly needed remedial WX training before his bumbling casts yet more
negative public opinion on GA, and saddens his friends and family.
Oh, nuts, Larry.
The pilot in question may or may not have acted irresponsibly; there's not
enough information here to know. It sounds like he was pushing the weather
too hard, but without being there we can't be sure.
Deciding to rat out another pilot to the FSDO requires much more egregious
conduct than this as a rationale, and much stronger evidence, too.

"Gut feeling"
Intestinologists concur that the human gut does not contain any
rational thoughts.
What the human gut *is* full of is moderately well
known.
