And the responses, particularly from well-meaning types who try to
offer constructive criticism and advice, are also well-known and have

Anthony's just trolling. But Anthony couldn't possibly be trolling,
right? Just because he will continue to participate in threads like
this one, while simultaneously claiming that he comes here to discuss
aviation: not trolling at all, right? But that's another
unsurprising thing about Anthony: he's a habitual liar, and he does
that repetitiously - and, let's face it, manipulatively - too.

Oh, I don't think he's trolling. (Not intentionally, at least; I
suppose you could debate as to whether doing it unintetntionally is
really "trollign".) I think he just suffers from a weird combination
of posting style and inability to back down in any circumstances which
makes him inadvertently look much like a troll. The difference is
pretty academic, I'll freely admit.


Well, only fromthe trollee's POV, I suppose.

Getting interviews is difficult.

Continuing to make feeble excuses for being a failure is easy,
and is a trait common among stupid people.

A personal attack cannot conceal the fact that I am right.

Which personal attack would this be?

People who complain about non-existent "personal attacks" tend to
be quite stupid.

Utter bull****. With a PC and an internet connection you have the means to

Then why isn't everyone with a PC and Internet connection rich?

In at least one case, the cause is being a whining, feckless, excuse-
making loser lacking the ability to take initiative and do what needs to
be done, instead of posting tedious, whining, off-topic junk to an
aviation newsgroup, while bloviating and lying that the whining loser's
intent on participating in the newsgroup is to discuss aviation.

These traits of such people tend to indicate that they are quite stupid.

Actually, it's a trait common among depressives, especially more
intelligent ones. It's unkind of me, but I don't like having
depressives among my workers, and do all I can to prevent their being
hired, or if hired, encourage (strongly encourage!) them getting
professional help or getting out. A little depression with one guy can
actually reduce the effectiveness of a team. Who needs that? I run a
business, not a social services company.

Holy smokes guys!!!!!!

I went out of town for the July 4 holiday and caught up today with
this incredible psychological thriller! A grad student could write
his Masters thesis on Anthony! (Or maybe someone already has!) I
usually don't get involved anymore but couldn't help but come out of
the Lurker's Closet to say that this is the most fascinating stuff I
have EVER read on the newsgroups! Truly amazing.

And Anthony...I also live outside of Washington DC....not too far from
Mike Ash (who I have never met). Washington is a beautiful city.
While summers can get humid, winters are far from cold. An inch or 2
of snow is a rare event. Excuses, excuses.

OK...I'm going back to my Lurker's Closet now. Pls continue.

Indeed. This summer has been really great so far. I don't think I've
turned on the air conditioning more than half a dozen times so far. You
want to talk about bad climate, I used to live in Wisconsin. Just as hot
and humid as DC in the summer, and tons of snow and ridiculous cold in the
winter.

Whereabouts around DC do you live? Reply by e-mail if you don't want to
broadcast it, I post with my real address.
