The level of rudeness on this forum comes as a huge shock when one first encounters it. Certain posters set themselves up as aviation experts and poo-poo anything anyone with alleged less experience has to say.
After a while one learns to separate the wheat from the chaff and benefit from those who make a genuine contribution.
It goes without saying that not every poster is what they make themselves out to be.
As to using real names - well, taking the above into account is that not difficult to understand?
The laugh about this thread is that usually this kind of thread goes on endlessly about the stupidity of some or pilot who is now dead. In this case the pilot is alive and well and very much in the discussion!
