Night VFR following highways

Anyone flying at night low enough to worry about power lines in
route is an idiot.

Here is the "idiot's" story:

It is rather strange to put "idiot" in quotes when the entire point of the
story was that this guy was, on that particular night, really, really
stupid.

I was being charitable; I guess charity is too rarely seen on USENET to be
recognizable.

Charity is like respect. It is given to those who deserve it;
who earn it. You haven't earned it from anyone here. And the route (no
pun intended) you're going, you never will.

So how do starving children earn charity?

I don't have a need for it.

They make a plea on amazon?

Maybe you thought you were being charitable, but you weren't. When an
article's entire purpose is for the author to explain an incident in which
ha was stupid in the hopes that others can learn from his mistakes, using
scare quotes to imply that maybe he wasn't actually stupid at all is not
being charitable.

If I had not put it in quotes, someone would have criticized me for calling
him an idiot. So it doesn't really matter.

That's right. Nothing about you matters.
