Default Boarding with engines running

Kobra,

Please take a few to go back over the history of MX in this forum
before you judge us as harsh.

Many people on this forum, including myself, went out of our way to to
give him lucid, complete answers and be very polite when he first came
to this forum. Even after his questions became incessant, the forum
continued to answer, figuring that the responses would make for good
'search fodder' at some point in the future.

Unfortunately the level of posting continued to increase, and more
frustratingly, he very quickly began a habit of arguing with the
answers he did not agree with. So many of his questions could be
answered by a quick, one hour demo ride, but he outright refused to
consider it, and instead started to get very condescending towards us
when we did not immediately answer his questions (as you can see from
this post, our unwillingness to immediately answer his question and
suggesting he look up the very basic answer via Google leads him to
suggest that 'Tin Can' pilots are obviously inferior to those on the
'sim' forum this forum referred him too).

And at this point, yes those who still post in response to him are
very puerile... the simple fact is we're sick of it. We're sick of
his incessant opinion on every matter (despite his admitted lack of
experience), we're sick of his temper tantrums when we ask him to
please be more polite, we're sick of hearing about how much better his
sim-ing experience is than our actual flying, how dangerous actual
flying is, how worthless reality is, how immature and 'thrillseeking'
real life pilots are... but for some reason he still insists on asking
for our input on EVERYTHING...

The other thing I would suggest is that you go ahead and google MX...
He came to RAP after being driven away from the simulator forums (for
similar behavior). In fact, if you look at his history of posting,
you'll find he has a tremendously arrogant, puerile streak which
quickly drives all of the forums he participates in crazy...

Its a shame, I for one feel kinda bad for him... (I suspect he's just
an adolescent or suffers from Asperger's Syndrome). I think you'll
find most of us have no problem with his striving for realism in his
simming, most of us wouldn't even mind the questions (If he'd at least
be willing to check out and read up on stuff on his own).

Its the attitude that's just worn the patience of this board thin...
