Probably just a front for the FBI or something, trying to get info from us about airplanes...

I think it's none of our business. He could be very young or
handicapped, but it doesn't matter. I've been online in some form or
another for over 30 years, and he's one of the most polite and
forgiving posters I've seen (albeit extremely hard headed), considering
the bile thrown at him by some crabby old men and women here.

Those latter people, who think they can dictate whom the rest of us
converse with, should be ashamed of themselves. I've lost a lot of
respect for some of the regulars here, because they've shown just how
full of themselves they are.

I think he's a good test of how well we can explain things. If we
can't convince someone like him, who's very interested in aviation, how
flying works... then what chance do we have with people who want a TFR
everywhere?

I agree with every word you said. I don't understand why everyone has
to obsess over him. He's not even that bad of a poster...

The reason he gets so much crap is because some people (90% of this
newsgroup), just absolutely have to constantly remind to the world how
wonderful and great they are. And they do that by condescending on
lesser knowledgeable people, such as mx.

The only reason mx gets so much crap is because he admitted to
everybody he is a below everyone else knowledge wise. He
(involuntarily) offered himself to be the wisemen-know-it-all-wannabe's
punching bag.

The same thing happened to me when I made a thread a few months ago,
and made the mistake of mentioning I was in my early 20's. It didn't
matter what my argument was, I was just a dumb, spoiled punk teenager,
and I knew nothing. If I had made the exact same thread, but portrayed
myself as a grey-haired 60-year old ex-army pilot or something, I would
have been treated so much differently. I swear, if mx would from now on
post only under random pseudo names (like me), no one would say a
single word about any of his posts.

It's not what you say, or how you say it as much as it is who you are.
Sometimes this place resembles a middle school playground more than a
professional discussion group.

Emily,

I'll rephrase. What non-Parisian would choose to live in Paris?

Please! Not you, too, joining the Freedom Fries Faction.

Personally, I've been to Paris, wasn't impressed, and couldn't imagine
choosing to live there. Loved Frankfurt, on the other hand. Loved
London too, but the traffic is terrible.

Remember, Emily is living in Texas.

Ugh, it wasn't pro American, anti-French!

It was just anti rude Parisians.

Yes, but at least one of those (French toast) has little or nothing to do
with France.

he does indeed ask interesting questions (e.g., why are turbines
more expensive than pistons?) and he is not stupid; but he does
have a way of being annoying at times; one thing he does and which
is a sure way of being ostracized in many newsgroups, not just r.a.*,
is that he fails to do his homework: he will question an answer,
or re-ask the same question, even when provided with pretty good
references/sources of info that he obviously does not bother
to read...

Sidney Bechet, Dexter Gordon, Miles Davis, Josephine Baker, George
Gershwin...

Not that you know who any of those people are.

Oh and Benjamin Franklin. There's a sliver of a chance you've heard of
him. After all, you appear to be at least semi-literate.
