Taking the pledge

Okay, folks, enough is enough. We've got good, long-term, high
quality pilots seriously discussing vandalizing someone's website,
because of said someone's troll-dom.

In the past, I have defended said troll, and lambasted said vandals,
but have now come to realize that this troll is obviously so divisive
and upsetting to some that this issue risks tearing apart the very
fabric of rec.aviation.

I personally find this amazing (he truly doesn't bother me that much)
but, in the interest of keeping this newsgroup intact and (relatively)
harmonious, I hereby publically make the following pledges, and urge
others to join me he

1. I will not respond to MX's posts.
2. I will not lambaste MX on these newsgroups.
3. I will not vandalize MX's website.

All in favor, say "aye"...

Aye

One question, though. What is the punishment for breaking the pledge?

Thirty lashes with a wet noodle? No beer at the OSH party? g

Ooooo, I don't know about that. That's like giving someone the death
penalty for shop-lifting!

I think, perhaps, it just means that they have to bring a TWELVE-pack
of good beer to the party, rather than a mere 6-pack...

That's tougher than giving up smoking, but it's worth a try..

Nope, you missed number 1. No responses to MX, and no XXX will be needed.

The only way this will work, is if all communication on this subject stops.
Including posts like this.

_I_ won't respond to him, doesn't mean the rest of you lot will follow
the same rules. In such case, identify, if you please.

It won't work, under those conditions. It has to be total, from everyone.

What you are saying is like saying I quit smoking cigarettes, but it is ok
if I still smoke cigars.

The oath is for those who will quit posting, not for those that are going to
continue.

Hopefully, everyone will take it.
