Transportation section of www.odd-info.com

So are they commercial pilots, or commercial pilots who fly 747s? And
how many such pilots are there in total, for purposes of comparison?

It is a bit odd that the FAA has such strict medicals but still allows
pilots to take recreational drugs on a regular basis.


Yep, they do.


Don;'t like it, don;'t fly.

Oh wait, You don't

Anthony, why do you insist on posting to this forum? Are you a
masochist?

If you like getting reamed so much, why don't you just walk into a gay
bar, drop trou, bend over and yell out "take me, I'm yours". That's
pretty much what you are doing posting here on RAP.

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 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.

It is a pity to see a group lose their focus, all because of one person. I
think that is his primary goal, perhaps. He will never amount to anything
that would allow him to join the flying, so wipe out something that real
pilots enjoy; deprive them of something, because he is deprived of something
they can do.

I have no doubt that if he were to seek mental health professionals, they
would find some real and classifiable conditions, and could be helped to
lead a more normal life, in time. Doubtful that will ever happen, either.

So the status quo continues. He makes stupid posts, people insult him, and
on it goes, where it stops, nobody knows.

I agree.

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

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.

Especially if you admonish people to ignore him after each of his posts.

Physician, heal thyself.

Actually, there has been no mass exodus, beyond the usual turnover. There may
be one or two who have assumed or will assume a low profile after attempting
things that they should not have. However, the bulk of newsgroup participants
are not bothered by me (or by you) and are completely indifferent to my
participation. It's a big group, and there are only a handful of bullies and
whiners on it, vocal though they might be.

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

For someone who considers me unimportant, you certainly have an exaggerated
notion of my influence.

I think that is his primary goal, perhaps.

I think that a few people here are irritated with me to the point of
preoccupation. That is their problem, not mine.

It reminds me a bit of an old Hitchcock movie in which the protagonist is
obsessed with knives, and in a dinner-table conversation with others the only
word he ever seems to hear clearly is "knife." The others are not talking
about knives, but that is all he is interested in hearing, so to him the
dinner party is obsessed with cutlery.

He will never amount to anything
that would allow him to join the flying, so wipe out something that real
pilots enjoy; deprive them of something, because he is deprived of something
they can do.

I'm surprised you haven't thrown in a threat to world peace and prosperity.

So the status quo continues. He makes stupid posts, people insult him, and
on it goes, where it stops, nobody knows.

Hmm.

It is obvious that the person identifying himself as "Mxmanic" enjoys some
kind of reward reading abuse directed at him.
He continues to participate in a forum where he receives it.
That is an unfortunate character trait and he would be wise to examine that
tendency.

I agree that the quality of discourse in this forum will improve if entries
by "Mxmanic" are largely ignored.

JMHO as I enjoy this resource and find it has some value apart from the
frequent useless exchanges.

You are quite correct. Sadly, many enjoy poking trolls with a stick just to
hear 'em howl. Kinda sick in my opinion.
