Who said anything about anybody being self-righteous and stroppy? Someone is making things up.
Somebody needs to read posts properly.
Maybe the poster's attitude made a large contribution to the decision. Would you want to fly with someone who you felt had endangered both you and himself and then became all self-righteous and stroppy with you? I wouldn't. I'm not saying that is what happened, I simply don't know if it did, none of us does, we simply do not have the facts.
