Capvermell,
It would appear that you have firmly entrenched yourself on the wrong side of a lot of PPrune members. If that was your objective (and who can imagine why...) you have achieved it. Best now to change your name and start all over again, becasue it would appear that you'll not be forgotten here for a while!
I posted to another new PPrune member, in a whole other forum just the other day. The circumstances are a little different here, but you'll get the idea anyway. I'll paste in that post shortly...
When you've actually carried your dead pilot friend out of the aircraft he has just perrished in, you will probably tone down the nonsense of your own accord. Hopefully you will never have to do this, I wish I had not. Until then, perhaps the following post to another PPruner will inspire you to a more diplomatic approach to aviation in general, and members here....
(Oh, and disregard the reference to 35 hours flying time, I understand that the other member actually is a pilot!)
Here it is.......
You will probably get the most from this forum, and the genuine good well of it's participants if you respect that for many here aviation is a passion and often a career. After more than thirty years in aviation, the most important thing I have learned is that there will always be something else to learn, thus someone else to teach it. Aviators are eager to spread their passion far and wide, to those they consider worthy. After all, why waste one's time directing an effort to a person who will not appreciate it, or take it seriously? I do my very best to never antagonize anyone, as they might be a teacher now, or in the future. Kids I took flying 25 years ago, are now very experienced pilots, with a lot to teach me!
The same caution extends to commenting negatively on aircraft types. Each aircraft type, for better or not so much, has it's following. Why insult them? Those people probably have a wealth of knowledge as to how to get the most out of that type of aircraft. Why not rub those people the right way, and just ask for help?
One of the sayings includes a phrase that there are "no old bold pilots". I have met some young ones, and a few are still alive. How one approaches the people of aviation will say a lot about how you will approach aviation itself. If you want to endear yourself to those aviators who really have the wisdom you want, approach slowly, and with respect. Treat them as you would want them to see you treating their aircraft, should they allow you to fly it.
One PPrune member who was a new pilot on the other side of the world when she first communicated with me, has now had many hours of flying with me, and my support to be employed in an enviable project development job in aviation, with great opportunities, simply because she used the right approach. The only thing she ever knocked in her communication with me, were people who knocked her first.
35 hours is a great accomplishment, congratulations. Soon I'll have that in helicopters - I'm a newbie there for sure, I tread very lightly. However, my 5000+ hours in 120 fixed wing types (including C172's) make me nearly bold enough to suggest that you to ease into aviation, and spread out the experience, You'll enjoy it longer!
Today's free wisdom, for whatever it's worth,
