I think avaiation somehow atracts snobbs and just d1cks in general.
Look at all the posts on pprune , how many times have you been flamed or abused for stateing your opinion.
Personal insults , belittlement, one upman ship etc etc you name it we have it in abundance on this board. (i have also met nice people as well so dont get me wrong)
I dont know why avaiation attracts such a large number of w@ nkers !?
Take a look at the car forums on pistonheads or diver forums on divernet, you'll find generally people falling over themselves to help each other out , have a joke and give good general advice.
