Let's move on
Anthony will never admit he's wrong, even though he's asked some of the most
naive and ignorant questions, ones that truly demonstrate his lack of knowledge and experience. For the real pilots and students, I suggest joining Pilots of America, a moderated group. It is what this NG used to be, before it was ruined by Anthony and his likes. The discussions are related to and about flying, with reasonable discourse and even disagreement. At least it appears that the posters respect each other for the fact that they actually fly and have experienced the real thing. During my brief participation, I have never seen it descend into the usual trolling that Anthony thrives on. So, give it a try at Pilots of America and let Anthony argue with himself and the other wannabes. |

It wasn't so much ruined by Mx as much as those who cannot take a pass on endlessly arguing with him over some ridiculous detail, or have made it their mission to expose him as a non-pilot, all with the seemingly honorable goal of protecting the helpless student who might read something here and then die as a result. What a crock. Anyone with half a brain knows how to treat information posted on a newsgroup, or anywhere else online for that matter. They don't need help from a few crusaders. |

What a crock. *Anyone with half a brain knows how to treat information posted on a newsgroup, or anywhere else online for that matter. *They don't need help from a few crusaders. I tend to agree. But I refuse to respond to him , not because he is not a pilot or because he poses a risk to students or that he wants to engage in endless argument, there are others that do that also. I dont mind a robust debate myself ,its all part of the learning process. No I just refuse to debate with him simply because of his intellectually dishonesty ( some would say disability). If I have a debate I expect the outcome to be one of 3 possibilities. 1. I have been proved wrong and I acknowledge that and appreciate the fact that I have learned something 2. I have proved the other person wrong, and they acknowledge that and I gain some personal satisfaction that I have helped someone, and that perhaps in 200 or so hours of piloting an aeroplane I might have actually learned a thing or two. . 3. The debate is about something that there is no right or wrong answer and both parties agree to disagree. The outcome of a debate with Mxs is rarely any of the above the 3. He has a total inability to admit he is wrong. He will either deny it or try to deceitfully change the topic of what was disagreed with. He is just a total waste of oxygen. Its a free choice of course but I highly reccommend the ignore approach. Terry PPL Downunder |

The ignore approach has been advocated, but there will always be someone who
takes the bait, and this starts the endless cycle again. Hey, I could care less whether anyone chooses to lurk here and watch the repetitive and useless interaction with someone who has no experience and nothing to offer. I simply offered the alternative, which is Pilots of America, and other boards, that are actually focused on aviation related topics, and not Anthony. |

The mystery is why anyone would attempt to prove a point one way or another with him when they know this going in, and yet the same people do it over and over and over again. |

I've played with the troll, but it's stopped being fun. He and the threads have gotten boring. |

Pilots post there from all over the world. Give it a try. It's on topic and avoids the usual Usenet issues. -- Dudley Henriques |
