Why Pilots of America rocks...
"Lonnie" @_#~#@.^net wrote in message
... "Peter Dohm" wrote in message . .. That sounds like the start of a "Live forever" joke -- it's not forever, it just seems that way in OK. But an OK friend had a nice comeback. "Why do all the trees in OK lean toward Texas?" "Texas sucks". I admit it. I laughed. Now I'm ashamed! If it wasn't for Oklahoma truckers and Mexican whores, there would never have been a Texas. Ah, come on. Everyone knows Okies only marry their sisters and first cousins. |

PING: Alexa Why Pilots of America rocks...

"Bertie the Bunyip" wrote in message ... Sounds vaguely familiar. I think I may have come across her before. the aviation groups were heavily infested with conspirawhackos after 9-11. Bertie Bull****. We didn't have them or you either. As usual you're wrong. Alt.disasters.aviation was loaded with conspirowhackos starting almost immediately, for instance. A number of us were debunking them constantly for a couple years at least. Paul Gooding and John Mazor were particularly active at it. And Bertie has been posting in aviation groups since 1998, as a simple Google search will turn up. He even posted in RAP on 9/11: http://groups.google.com/group/rec.a...a?dmode=source That was 9/11/2001 in the U.S., since I'm sure you'll jump on the timestamp. It's GMT. |

A false dichotomy that I'm not going to bite on. Besides, Maxie would insist I was defending him either way, but I'm simply presenting facts. Rich, my dim recollection from my previous time as a member of the rec.aviation community was that you were, like a lot of other folks, calm, rational, and knowledgeable. When I got away from flying, I got away from rec.aviation. When I got back into flying, I got back in here, only to find that the group is full of people like Mxsmanic and Bertie, each working to destroy the sense of community and mutual assistance by being as trollish, or as much a flaming asshole, as possible, and the few who were still trying to be helpful (such as Jay Honeck) being ruthlessly driven away. Imagine my surprise to discover you defending Bertie, one of the worst, and repeatedly slamming Jay Honeck, one of the better of those remaining. I still have my "rec.aviation: Global Hangar Flying" patch, somewhere. It doesn't apply any more. If we had this kind of hangar flying, we could sell tickets and market it on pay-per-view to the unlimited fighting fans. Bertie's one of the primary causes of the hangar getting burned to the ground. For you to defend him as you do merely sullies your own reputation. -- Jay Maynard, K5ZC http://www.conmicro.com http://jmaynard.livejournal.com http://www.tronguy.net Fairmont, MN (FRM) (Yes, that's me!)

Bertie's one of the primary causes of the hangar getting burned to the ground. For you to defend him as you do merely sullies your own reputation. First off, I'm not defending him. He's quite capable of doing so himself if he chooses. Holding the same opinion as someone some of the time (e.g., Maxie is an idiot) is not defending that person. Neither is conversing with him. Or correcting factual errors about past history. The fact that you cannot tell the difference places your judgment in question. I would turn it around and suggest that for you to praise Jay only sullies your own reputation. He's a reactionary, self-promoting asshole, and I stepped away from here for a good while because of the constant pollution of his political crap. However, no one is driving Jay away. He's merely running away because he can't stand not being in control and having people disagree with him. He can't even just ignore criticism or disagreement. He has to have it squelched completely, or he'll take his ball and go home. Well, good riddance. |

A false dichotomy Well ... Jay did not use a dichotomy - that I can see. Rather, his question made a presumption: that Bertie is a flaming asshole. The question was when did he become one. The distant past and the recent past are not normally considered dichotomous - merely a subjective matter. An answer to Jay's question doesn't appear to yield anything useful, though. At least not that I can see. |

Is that required reading where you are institutionalized, or are you just trying to understand Bertie? It would really make someone wonder how you came to be associated with such a study. |
