An Unexpected Finding Among Commercial Pilots

He will be here until he is ignored, and nobody responds to his posts...
and I fear that will never happen. I don't know why people feel the need
to respond, but respond, they do.


I agree.


I don't think there is much more time left until there are few left to
respond. Many have already left; more are leaving all the time. Many
more will follow.


Agree here too, however, people also check back to see if the smoke has
cleared yet.

It is a pity to see a group lose their focus, all because of one person.

Not exactly 1 person. Bertie & Mx have enough traffic to set up their
own group.

The people who respond to each and every nonsense post are apprentice
enablers.

I've blocked MX, but when he posts something, there is a veritable storm
of responses by people trying to straighten him out. Why Bother? Who Cares
if MX thinks that he can now tell his ass from a hole in the ground. Why get
all gleeful about telling an idiot he is an idiot? Do these folks think the
idiot listens? Or cares? Bertie claims he can do this forever. So? Why would
anyone want to?

Historically, our ancestors didn't have to worry about entertaining the
MX's of the world. Natural selection kept them out of our way. Now, we are
keeping them alive, for whatever reason, and the rest of us have to deal
with them even if it is only to step over them. If someone wants to play
with them, fine, but do it outside.

Never try to teach a pig to sing, it wastes your time and annoys the
pig.

Cool. Any chance you and Anthony could wander off into the sunset
somewhere?

Well, I can cross post to it, but I doubt Anthony will come. He never
even replies to my posts ;(



Really, though, if you don't know how to use akillfile, you really
should learn.

Like I said, I have killed Anthony. It is YOU I'm considering. On
one hand you seem to have genuine knowledge of aircraft and how to stay
alive in them. On the other hand, I have to wade through 30+ "You're an
idiot" messages to read anything you have to say. Maybe you could settle on
some code like "This is a message To/From Idiots", and that way the rest of
us could just filter the crap out.

I have to admit, even the "Idiot" posts have their moment...

From a recent thread:

"Is not."

"Is too."

"Is not."

"Is too."

"Did you just stamp your foot?"

There were instructions posted earlier this year (February, I believe) how
to killfile the eunich and any replies to her posts. It was specific to
Outlook

It was along the lines of:

if the eunich posts, mark the thread as ignored

change settings to not show ignored threads.

Thanks, I remember seeing it at the time, but thought it would remove to
much. I'll re-examine it.

So killfile me.

Used to just use the Bunyip handle for flaming and another for making
"regular " posts, but now I'm too lazy to change my handle from one to
another.


I have to admit, even the "Idiot" posts have their moment...

"Is not."

"Is too."

"Did you just stamp your foot?"




I'm worth it.
