I'm neither stupid nor hostile.

Since self audits are always suspect, please provide a psychological
evaluation from an outside source to support your claim.

I'll remember this the next time someone here claims to be a qualified
pilot.

How about responding to the whole sentence?

My flying ability, physical health, and mental health are evaluated by
an independent source every 2 years.

How about you?


The last time he took a personality test, the results came back negative.

actually proposing that he be treated as if he's stupid too. At least
it's consistent.

No. When I give honest assessments of something or someone, I expect others
to do the same.

So when you posted this:

I don't care how you treat me; you're just a name on a screen.

.... you expected that person to do the same? And no matter what that
person's response was, it would be equally valid, whether it was some-
thing you considered useful, or a derogatory comment? You expect others
who post here to treat you not as a human being, but as "just a name on
a screen?"

No, simply an accepted means of saving bandwidth.

If you gave a **** about bandwidth you would just shut up, listen and quit
trying to MC an advice column on a subject for which you have no real
experience.

I find this ironic coming from someone who writes post after post attacking me
and ignoring the topic of the thread.

So, why are magnetic headings still used, and do you think they should
continue to be used?

Yes.

There is no correlation between validity and utility.

Yes, I'd prefer that. I'm here to discuss aviation, not people (except within
the context of aviation).

You're just a name on a screen. Why should anyone care how you find
this, or what you think of anything?

No, you aren't. If this was so, you would do nothing but discuss
aviation, and you wouldn't respond to anything else. In addition,
you wouldn't conflate flying airplanes with a piddly-ass Microsoft
flight simulation program, and pretend that they are the same thing.
Why are you so dishonest?

If you really wanted to save bandwith, you discuss aviation, and not me.

It takes two to discuss aviation, and when most of the replies are from people
like yourself who cannot overcome their personal fascination with me, aviation
tends to fall by the wayside. However, I'm happy to discuss aviation, if I
can find anyone willing to do so.

Would you like to discuss the thread topic? Do you know anything about it?

In addition, you wouldn't conflate flying airplanes with a piddly-ass Microsoft
flight simulation program, and pretend that they are the same thing.

Both of these are aviation-related, unlike your diatribe.

Irrelevant. You are just a name on a screen. You are not a human
being, and nobody is to regard you as one, or treat you with any form
of respect. Nobody is obliged to care why you're here, and nobody is
obliged to discuss things on your terms. This is what you just agreed
to, above.
