Not sure the above description of me is accurate, but never mind. I try to write bits which have a bit of substance on subjects which I think (hope) I know a bit about. I have no problems with people flying say rag and tube types - why should I ? But I know about IFR so I write about IFR. I would be a complete plonker to write about aerobatics, wouldn't I ?
That piece comes from a practicing barrister (a nice chap as far as I can tell) whose work includes aviation law, and I genuinely wish that he would spend as much time dealing with the aviation law matters that surface regularly (and get discussed, generally in a useless and inconclusive manner, by amateur brain surgeons and wishful thinkers) as he spends on banter. We have too few people willing to put in the time to write up a detailed answer - see below.
I avoid writing one-liners since they rarely convey any useful information and (given that all web-based forums are terribly inefficient to read, compared to Usenet) they just take up space and IMHO are a prime reason for driving out others who might otherwise have been willing to write up something worth reading. The content which I dislike most about certain forums is nearly always in the form of idiotic one-liners. If somebody has an opinion and takes the time to write something with more than 10 words, then at least it can be discussed. It doesn't matter that I might not agree with it; that's what discussion is about.
One can't have a forum which is a chatty place without it getting cliquey, not to mention a few other things, and then anybody who has anything worthwhile to say will clear off - because most people with useful knowledge tend to also have a life and can't be bothered to live in virtual worlds. I have on occassions used some other more specialised forums (one aircraft type specific, one car type specific as I drive an unusual imported car and had to mess around with the fuel injection, and others for specific types of IT equipment which would have otherwise been unsupported) and most have gone the same way at times. Even the aircraft type specific one, which one would have expected to be rather dry, has had its fair share of aggressive idiots.
