Should I be scared -- C172 over Gross
Benjamin Dover writes:
Here's one he posted today in VATSIM in response to someone who pointed out that in trains is a "dead man's" button which, if controls are not touched every few minutes, set off an alarm. Said Anthony, "Aircraft have this, too, at least in real life, although it doesn't seem to be simulated, at least not by PMDG." He really doesn't know **** from shinola. The 747-400 has three levels of alarm. All appear as PILOT RESPONSE on the EICAS, the first being an advisory without an audible alarm, the second a caution with a beeper, and the third a warning with a siren. The 777 (at least, not sure about others) also has this alarm, and I presume it works in much the same way. I'm sure it's configurable by operators. |

You claim you come here to discuss aviation, but there is nothing here about aviation. Why? I can defend myself very well indeed. No, actually, you suck incredibly badly at it. And ... what does this have to do with aviation? |

It has nothing to do with aviation, but some people--including yourself--consistently divert virtually every thread in which I participate into a discussion of me, rather than the topic at hand. If this disturbs you, discuss aviation instead ... that would be just fine with me. No, actually, you suck incredibly badly at it. And ... what does this have to do with aviation? That's twice in one post. Lead the way. |

There are several people here who seem level-headed, but I won't name th em, lest the treehouse club add them to the target list. Surely somebody will step forward and defend you. Why? *I can defend myself very well indeed. You completely missed yet another point. I did in fact defend him for some time, but later felt the need to apologise to the group, for my behaviour in doing that. As a relatively inexperienced pilot I guess I didnt fully appreciate the annoyance that airline pilots and instructors would feel being told they were wrong (without substantiating evidence) by someone who had never flown in his life. As a PhD in physical chemisty ,my attitude changed somewhat when he tried to tell me how the Universal Gas Law didnt apply in the atmophere, despite several polite attempts on my part to explain otherwise. There is nothing wrong with being wrong, as long as you learn from the experience. It is the complete and utter inability to accept and acknowledge when he is wrong that is so irritating. If he wasnt such an obnoxious character and wasnt 16000 km away I would otherwise have loved to take him up ( gratis), although I suspect there is something else lacking that would have prevented him from accepting. Don't feel bad. You're not the first one to try and work with the MXSmoron. Many of the posters who now bash him also tried. I have a suggestion, why dont we have a collection and send Anthony off on a trial instructional flight on the proviso that the instructor publishes an account of his peformance on this group? I'll contribute $20 What about it Anthony , are you up for it? This offer has been made before and more than once. Anthony is too CS to to go up in a small airplane. But, then again, he is to CS to experience real life. For a laugh, look at Anthony's user profile in Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Agateller For more laughs, look go to his profile in VATSIM and then click on "Find all posts by Anthony Atkielski 985811". There are some real pilots and controllers there, but it is amazing how idiots like Anthony can't understand what the people who do this stuff in real life are trying to explain to him. Like Anthony's claim that, similar to trains, there is a "dead mans" switch in airplane cockpits, but they are not simulated. Anthony's VATSIM profile can be found at: http://forums.vatsim.net/profile.php...ofile&u=985811 Just my own observation, have had read access to both this newsgroup AND the old COMPUSERV AVSIG news group for well over two decades now. A lot of people with some great experiences that they were willing to share have left because of the harrassment they got from the Anthony's who post here. Even Splaps Tarver and the Rockaway Loon have shown far more knowledge and understanding about aviation than Anthony, despite his claims to intelligence, ever will. Even the fish who's name we no longer mention would rank above Anthony in understanding aviation, although not by much. It is very fortunate that we have some stalwarts like Dudly and the Bunyip who ignore Anthony's ravings and continue to generously give this newsgroup the benefit of their hard earned experience and knowledge. |

Why do you continue to lie? but some people--including yourself--consistently divert virtually every thread in which I participate Oh, boo-hoo-hoo. Nobody forces you to participate in these thread, you pathetically tedious pinhead. into a discussion of me, rather than the topic at hand. If this disturbs you, discuss aviation instead ... that would be just fine with me. No, it wouldn't. You clearly have no interest in discussing aviation. In fact, you don't fly, and have no interest in aviation at all. You are nothing more than a tawdry liar. what does this have to do with aviation? That's twice in one post. Lead the way. You need someone else to "lead the way" because you're too dishonest to do it yourself, so you make up crap about *other* people's motives in a desperate attention to pin the blame on anyone but yourself. What a useless pathetic piece of **** you truly are. Go ahead. Read this. Respond and continue to prove that you have no interest at all in discussing aviation, and that you continue to delude yourself in thinking it's somemone else's fault. -- dgs |
