I give up, after many, many years!

At work I see the types who have to make sure evryone at a party knows they are a pilot. They drive around town running errands 3 hours before sign in IN their uniforms FWIW, I know firefighters, mail carriers, a UPS driver, a FedEx driver and a riverboat pilot that do the same. True. Some would be just too lazy to change, of course! In fact I know firefighters that wear something related to firefighting, like a "DC Collapse Unit" t-shirt, EVERY day. That's a bit creepy, alright. If you've ever had the opportunity to have to be consoled for some really major trauma, the feeling that comes from having someone show you some genuine sympathy is intense, to say the least. It's a physical reaction, obviously designed to encourage the person to seek out the assistance of the tribe in hard times and it feels as good as an orgasm, or what I might imagine a shot of an opiate might feel like. I'm sure lots here have felt it. It's not hard to see how it might become addictive, in fact. I've got a notion that it's probably the reason that people with Munchausen and it's related ailments do what they do. Bertie What a crock of ****. Are you quoting your brother Dudley directly. |

You're just trying to start an argument now. Bertie Why, because is disagreed with you? |

These days on the 'net it's demonstrated in other ways. Oh well. I'm considered a bit of a character rl as well..... Bertie That's because they were to gracious to say "piece of ****". |

"Dudley Henriques" wrote in message ... All can be said to be true at any given moment in time. The bottom line on Usenet as I see it anyway, is in how the individual sees his/her own interaction with the venue. When it's all said and done, it will be only this interpretation that defines the Usenet experience for a specific user. I agree that it's confusing, and difficult to define; hence this exchange as an example. The main thing is that individuals be allowed to express opinion without attack, but as I'm sure each of us is aware, difficult to achieve on a consistent basis. Anyone posting to Usenet for any length of time will eventually be attacked and most likely assume an online posture more aggressive than that experienced in everyday life. The exact placing of the blame for this phenomenon remains for me anyway, extremely difficult to define clearly and to an exact answer. -- Dudley Henriques Geez, what a crock. |

This is not aimed at Dan, but instead, everyone that has put up a response to the lame thread about pilot's watches, started by MX. Don't you all have a life? It is bad enough that people reply to MX butt-lick on real topics, but to respond to the most often posted, lamest thread, (since the dreaded down wind turn).... I simply have no words to express my disgust. Are you all that lonely? What am I missing? There are some people that I respect, or used to, that are included in this thread. COME ON, PEOPLE ! ! ! WAKE UP ! ! ! That sucking sound is the life being drained from this group. RESIST THE URGE TO PARTICIPATE in ANY thread that has his participation. I'm With Jay. I'm outta here. It has been a nice ride; too bad a butt-lick ex-american, in paris, has the ability to destroy a great forum. Wake up. I won't be the last to leave, I'm sure. Last one out, turn out the lights. Sigh. -- Jim in NC |

I have a criteria. If anyone posts a legitimate question in a straightforward and respectful manner, I'll answer that post in kind if I have an answer. Posts that don't meet this criteria I treat as the mood hits me. The post about the watches as far as I could determine was presented in good faith and answered in kind. -- Dudley Henriques |

"Dudley Henriques" wrote I have a criteria. If anyone posts a legitimate question in a straightforward and respectful manner, I'll answer that post in kind if I have an answer. I humbly suggest that you change that criteria. This is a question from a person that is about to put the last nail in the coffin of RAP; a place that many people have come to for answers, and you have helped to provide. I would suspect that conservetively, there are only about 33% of the posters stuill here that used to frequent this forum, and most of the missing have been driven off by him and the trolls that came in "to get" him. Would you answer questions of a known murderer, about the best way to kill people, and not get caught? How about giving answers to a known child abuser, about ways to get young children to come into his house? I hope you would not honostly answer yes to the above questions, because if you do, you need help. You say you want to increase the safety of people flying, right? I believe you have. If they are not in here, you can't help them. They are not here because of a person you are enabling, by responding to. Your criteria should include a part about not answering known trolls. It does not take much imagination to conclude that he is a troll. Until you and others start to see it that way, he will stay, and others will _stay away_. Like I said, the last one out, turn out the lights. -- Jim in NC |

It amazes me how many otherwise sensible people, continue to enable not only Mx, but Bertie as well, by supplying them with STRAIGHT answers. They are literally feeding the trolls. It causes me to seriously consider the agenda of anyone that does so. |
