What an interesting thread.
Not so much the content as the way some people have reacted to those with whom they disagree - or think they disagree because they didn't take the trouble to read a post properly. (
eg Some responses to
slim-slag's posts.)
Politely pointing out why (in your opinion) others are completely wrong is far more effective than resorting to 'idiot, feckwit, clown' abuse, more conducive to good discussion and enables people who want to learn to do so - a valuable part of PPRuNe.
If
G-EMMA chooses to flounce off from PPRuNe because she doesn't like what she reads, let her go IMHO.

ok so while I would freaking LOVE to roll a 172.....NO! Its stupid.
As a 35 hour student pilot, some might think you'd be stupid to try rolling anything unless under supervision.
