here is at an all-time high (low?). It is simply not possible to
maintain
a
thread of any kind here without devolving into the
"Bertie/Maxwell/MX/Mikey/Rich Troll-o-Rama Show", which -- after nearly a
year of this -- has left this group in shambles.

It's kind of funny but the only one here lately who starts
aviation-related
threads is Mx.

The rest of the traffic seems to be the same characters making fools of
themselves over and over again, desperately trying to prove he is wrong
often by pointing out some miniscule detail in one of his posts. It used
to
be entertaining but now it's just tedious and sophomoric - I no longer
read
anything that that cast of characters posts.


That's because Mx has a long history with this group, and many of us can
assure you, he is not a productive member and feeding his threads do not pay
off in the long run. Quite the contrary.


Try starting an aviation-related thread and see what happens. Sure, you
can
expect the predictable responses from the few here who have a hard-on for
you for their own childish reasons, but it's so easy to just skip past all
that that I'm not sure why anyone here has a problem (or such a hard time)
with doing so.


I think you are absolutely right. I don't understand why people stop talking
aviation when the bull**** starts. It's easy to either skip or delete the
offending message, and keep posting the good stuff. When the honest
contributors go silent, there is nothing left but the nonsense.
