Yeah. I'm sure I could learn quite a bit from him, if I could just
find
a
way to exclude the trolling and content free argumentation.

The other 98.5%.

His aviation knowledge is historical - he's an old geezer who, sadly,
can'
t
get used to retirement.

Do a Google search in the newsgroup areas for his tag.

Maybe he is one of the pilots downsized. Interesting article today in
the NY Times about declining pay for pilots. Personally, I think he
is entertaining, though repetitive and extremely arrogant.


Downsized? Moi? Never.

Exclude the trolling and content free argumentation and there's
nothing left. You might as well killfile him.

I killfiled Bertie January 1, 2008 -- and it was one of the best things I've
ever done on Usenet. Instantly, with three keystrokes, rec.aviation became
a pleasant place to visit once again, with enjoyable threads that are
completely devoid of profane three-word responses.

He's still the only person I've ever had to killfile, and I truly regret
having to do it -- but I highly recommend it.

Well, you still have to live with yourself. That can't be much fun.

You don't regret having to do it, you lying piece of ****.

Do you ever say anything genuine?

Ever?

You are one dim bulb. He's killfiled you. That means he's not going
to see the questions you're directing to him.

That's ridiculous.

If you disagree with someone, either offer a contrary argument or
agree to disagree.

If you check the records you'll find I've had my share of disagreement
with several on here, including you, Jay.

Obviously usenet isn't going to change your mind. But, you may be
forced to re-think your positions.

I think Bertie and Dan Luke and I disagree on just about everything --
except I've yet to disagree on any issue of aviation and piloting.

You know why?

There are fundamental underpinnings to aviation that are immutable --
stick to those and you'll do well.

The funny thing is -- I probably agree with you on more things than
you realize -- global warming, Iraq war, etc.

Yet you don't acquit yourself well in those arguments, You spout off
on a topic, are contradicted, and then spend 1,000 posts explaining
how there's no way you can be wrong, or try to deflect with a turn of
phrase.

When bertie replies with "bull****" I figure he's made up his mind --
fine.

fakeflyboy is simply a mendacious poser who proffers to be what he is
not -- a pilot, former LRRP, and expert in every endeavor known to
man. He's useless, because he adds nothing of value to any
conversation.

You, however, should be able to add value to the conversation known as
rec.aviation, as you are an experienced pilot, and you clearly love
flying.

Welcome to the club, but consider a dose of humility and teach-
ability.

It will go a long way.

The problem isn't Bertie. The problem is the few people who want to
turn this group into a online version of the middle school cool kids
lunch table that they never had the chance to sit at. It just so
happens that Bertie is leading the charge.

I'm not leading anything. I post and when I see someone acting like an
asshole I speak up.

Pretty simple rules


Asshole.

Yeah, nothing to it is there. 1400 post in Jan, 1100 in Feb and 1200 in
March.

Easy is someone doesn't have a life, or any respect for the users of the
Usenet group.
