Viable alternatives for serious aviation discussion

Then Usenet is your best bet. Many people find it difficult to have
their input moderated. You are simply expressing a preference to which
you are entitled.

Most people tolerate moderation very poorly, but they love to see other people
with whom they disagree being silenced. Many people will choose a venue in
which they know that the allowed opinions match their own; that way anyone who
disagrees with them will be "moderated," and those who agree with them will be
left unmolested.

The problem is that many discussion venues stagnate, since nobody is willing
to discuss anything on which there might be a difference of opinion. The only
things people will discuss are the things about which they all agree already.
It gets pretty boring after a while.

The group rec.food.recipes has been moderated, healthy and around for
about a quarter century now.

Most moderated groups don't disallow disagreement, they just don't allow
posting 486 lines of old posting just to add a one word comment or
rebuttles to postings with content free ad hominems.

Most moderated groups would eventually ban you not because of the content
of your posts at first, but because your posts are normally carefully
crafted to **** people off and be disruptive in the long run.

Actually the other reason Anthony wouldn't make it on a moderated board is
that Pilots of America (for example) is geared toward pilots (these people,
by definition, are people who actually fly airplanes).

Of course, Anthony's rationale, like always, is specious- he simply doesn't
fly and has nothing to contribute.

As hard as it may be to believe and accept, people **** themselves off; I
don't do it (nor does any other external party). If you cultivate a certain
mindset and attitude, nothing ****es you off.

"If you cultivate a certain mindset and attitude, nothing ****es you off"

Nothing?

What if you get your Dick caught in your zipper when you are late for
a meeting and the boss is right next to your urinal while you writhe in
agony??

It takes a real man to not get ****ed at that!

You are a tough guy

I'm impatient with stupidity; my people have learned to live without it.

Injustice and cruelty tend to irritate me (although that is closely linked to
the above).

That has not occurred to me.

I don't see why it would make anyone angry; it would just be unpleasant.

That's because you have no penis. Once more your opinion jaded by a lack of
experience.

The term for that is "catatonic".

No, it's just a matter of being ruled by intellect rather than emotion.
Letting your emotions run your life makes you vulnerable to manipulation and
virtually guarantees unhappiness.
