Viable alternatives for serious aviation discussion

Jim Logajan writes: To be clear: I agree there are moderated discussion forums where the moderators have lists of unofficial favored and disfavored members. I just don't think there are "tremondous" numbers of such groups. I don't think people who have made themselves "regulars" exist on some unofficial list kept by the moderators and that somehow makes them "regulars". Every moderated forum I can recall has had a ban list. The moderators are more like cops in the donut shop who only lumber into action if forced to. You probably haven't seen very many moderators. Most are overbearing control freaks when they encounter anyone with whom they disagree. Most people are not suited to this type of job. Nonsense Anthony. You are generalizing again. There is no doubt that any moderated group can and probably does have a ban list, and it's also true that you can find a bad moderator on any mod forum, but this by no means would indicate a majority in any way whatsoever. In fact, I belong to several moderated forums now and have in the past as well. In my total experience on the net, I've run into one bad situation and simply left that forum. As is the case in most human interaction, most people (moderators in this case) try to exhibit honesty, sincerity, and a natural desire to do a good job. If any generalization exists, this would usually prevail as the majority standard. If you don't mind my saying so Anthony, you do seem to have a very negative view of people in general. -- Dudley Henriques |

I mean exactly what I say. The majority of moderators are not competent for the job. As is the case in most human interaction, most people (moderators in this case) try to exhibit honesty, sincerity, and a natural desire to do a good job. If any generalization exists, this would usually prevail as the majority standard. And like most human beings, they throw all that to the wind when someone disagrees with them and refuses to change his mind. It's human nature, and difficult to compensate for even with the will to do so (which is rare). If you don't mind my saying so Anthony, you do seem to have a very negative view of people in general. Not at all, but there are a lot of stupid and (consequently) intolerant people in the world. Almost everyone has a double standard; few people follow the Golden Rule. |

I mean exactly what I say. The majority of moderators are not competent for the job. I have no doubt you mean exactly what you say, but that doesn't necessarily equate to what you are saying being correct. As always, you and I will never agree so I will disengage on this issue after this post and allow you your opinion. :-) As is the case in most human interaction, most people (moderators in this case) try to exhibit honesty, sincerity, and a natural desire to do a good job.

And like most human beings, they throw all that to the wind when someone disagrees with them and refuses to change his mind. It's human nature, and difficult to compensate for even with the will to do so (which is rare). Well then, I'll set the positive example for you right here as I'm sure you realize that you and I are in complete disagreement and unless I'm mistaken I'm not fitting your profile at all. If you don't mind my saying so Anthony, you do seem to have a very negative view of people in general. Not at all, but there are a lot of stupid and (consequently) intolerant people in the world. Almost everyone has a double standard; few people follow the Golden Rule. There are certainly a lot of stupid and intolerant people in the world. God knows I've had to deal with a few of them on this very forum, but in my experience, these are FAR from representing the norm. -- Dudley Henriques |

"Mxsmanic" wrote in message news yod-yog+ais writes: Per Dr. Larry Cahill of the University of California at Irvine, "We have been assuming that the ways in which emotions are organized in the brain are essentially similar in men and women," but they aren't. Parts of the limbic cortex, which is involved in emotional responses, are smaller in men than in women. Women use the left part of the amygdala - the part of the brain that creates emotional reactions to events - to put memories in order by emotional strength, meaning that something emotionally important to them (like a great first date a couple of months ago) will be ordered in front of what they ate for breakfast yesterday. Men, however, use the right part of the amygdala to put memories in order. Traditionally, the right hemisphere of the brain is associated with the central action of an event, while the left hemisphere is associated with finer details. Dr. Cahill is freely speculating. Prove it dumb ass. |

"Tim" wrote in message ... "Fillard Millmore" luv2^fly99@cox.^net wrote That's because you are stroking him, and stimulating his derogatory input, in an attempt dilute group to POA. NOW THAT'S FUNNY!!! How can you possibly dilute this group beyond where it currently is? People are not leaving because of Mx, they are leaving because of the immature, childish, and endless back-and-forth that takes place between him and a dozen or so nitwits here. If Mx left the same nitwits would find a new "cause". Opinions are like assholes, everyone has one. |

"Dudley Henriques" wrote in message ... Actually, if you and the other nitwits posting all this nonsense about my pushing POA bothered to actually check POA, you will find that there are exactly 5 postings for me on POA. Apparently why you have returned, and certianly not consistant with all the "POA is greater than sliced bread" babble, you kept spamming us with just days after you had supposedly left. Probably supports you desire to dilute this group as well. I guess you didn't have the land slide of followers you expected, no surprise. Google reveals as of today 68,200 postings for me....all on Usenet, most on THIS forum. Where's your logic? Ninety percent of which is probably either redundant rambling, off topic cutsie ****, or some of you ragchew nonsense that would be much better suited for a CB radio conversation. |
