A false dichotomy that I'm not going to bite on. Besides, Maxie would
insist I was defending him either way, but I'm simply presenting
facts.

Rich, my dim recollection from my previous time as a member of the
rec.aviation community was that you were, like a lot of other folks,
calm, rational, and knowledgeable. When I got away from flying, I got
away from rec.aviation. When I got back into flying, I got back in
here, only to find that the group is full of people like Mxsmanic and
Bertie, each working to destroy the sense of community and mutual
assistance by being as trollish, or as much a flaming asshole, as
possible, and the few who were still trying to be helpful (such as Jay
Honeck) being ruthlessly driven away. Imagine my surprise to discover
you defending Bertie, one of the worst, and repeatedly slamming Jay
Honeck, one of the better of those remaining.


No he isn't he's an accomplished liar who's only fooing himself and a
few others dim enough to swallow his line.

Like you, apparently.



I still have my "rec.aviation: Global Hangar Flying" patch, somewhere.
It doesn't apply any more. If we had this kind of hangar flying, we
could sell tickets and market it on pay-per-view to the unlimited
fighting fans.

Bertie's one of the primary causes of the hangar getting burned to the
ground. For you to defend him as you do merely sullies your own
reputation.


Moi?

Never.


I just post.
