... Yes, but "spouting off" to people of opposing viewpoints is a crucial element of democracy, however unwelcome it is to those opponents. No it isn't. Intellegent discourse is the crucial element, as is the =freedom= to engage in it (which brings with it the freedom to spout off). Important difference. True, but the target group's assessment of the merits of a protester's discourse is seldom flattering, or reliable. I've seen only a subset of Skylune's posts, but among those, the level of logical coherency and factual support strikes me as average or above for political discussions here, and the level of personal abrasiveness likewise seems no worse than average. I don't think it harms us to be exposed to occasional dissent of that sort. --Gary |

I may be getting the drift. Like, as far as we know, this guy could be
annoying his neighbors with his jet-ski, or snow-mobile, or dirt-bike, but he ignores the fun things he does that lower the quality of life for beings around him and focuses on the folks who fly? Might he be a closet hypocrite? Terry "George Patterson" wrote in message news:xyNIe.72$lK2.42@trndny01... Terry Briggs wrote: What's this guy done to generate such animosity?

He acts as if he is an authority and comes across as the proverbial turd in the punchbowl. He has no constructive ideas and states that his mission is to make it as hard on GA pilots as possible. IMHO, that is about like Osama Bin Laden posting on a US political NG. |

Worst case, 'loon will sensitize airman to the views of non airman. In fact, his Usenet persona may be a sock-puppet created just for that purpose. |

Be that as it may, hostile actions evoke anger and hostility in return. That's where the animosity comes from.

Might he be a closet hypocrite? There's no indication of that, and it's probably irrelevant. What he *has* done is state repeatedly that what we are doing is entirely to dangerous for amateurs, we should not be allowed to do it, and he is going to do everything he possibly can to make sure that we are stopped. He also expresses delight in any general problem we may have. George Patterson Give a person a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a person to use the Internet and he won't bother you for weeks. |
