Perhaps my favorite incident was when he called me a bad pilot after I
described how I have difficulty landing a simulated glider in X-Plane
using a $20 USB joystick as my only controller. He's pretty crazy
(although I find him amusing) and richly deserves every ounce of the scorn
which is heaped upon him every time he shows himself here.

My favorite?

When he said he saw no difference between my vidoes posted on You Tube
and MSFX.

That's pretty good.

I'm reminded me of that Calvin and Hobbes strip where he goes around
comparing reality with TV, reality losing at every turn. The colors aren't
as bright, the people are less attractive, and minutes at a time can go by
without a car chase, shoot-out, or sex scene.

Come to think of it, MX reminds me of Calvin, except without any of
Calvin's endearing parts. But the deliberate obtuseness, high capacity for
fantasy, and extremely high opinion of self seems very Calvinesque to me.
