Keg,
You can hardly dismiss the fact that by requesting a registration/flight number and offering to contact the crew member(s) involved about an 'alleged' incident posted on pprune, you are bound to get a few remarks about that sort of assumed responsibilty. I have absolutely no problems with feedback if the feedback is warranted.
Here are a few examples Keg (I will use the F/O as an example because we all know Captains never requirefeedback)
a) F/O intentionally ignores SOPs.......feedback yes
b) F/O almost scrapes the tail on rotate......feedback yes
c) F/O stuffs arrival up and ends up hot and high......feedback yes
d) Captain/FO follow SOP's but unfortunately shine their lights on another aircraft at night causing the pilot to become most distressed. Pilot believes that QF pilots lack basic airmanship and posts a thread on Pprune..........feedback NO

If the person who made the claim initially is willing to give his real name and details to Keg in PRIVATE not on the pages here, and Keg finds out its one of his best mates on the 76 that stuffed up.....surely over a beer or a "spot of tea" they can have a friendly conversation amongst themselves.
I know I would not be offended......... of course if some half-wit went off on an annonomous tip off from a post on pprune and went to management..........then I would be really pi$$ed off.
There is a difference
Wasting too many electrons and pixel lives here now........

I wholeheartedly agree with both of the above. When you come on to bay with the full christmas tree lit up it's fairly annoying, given that we're doing our best to keep a lookout for all manner of obstacles and hazards that you may not be able to see. As mavrik1 said, it's just an accident, not done on purpose, no big deal.
I've always found it worse at late afternoon/dusk when it's probably hard for you to see the light pattern and the worst is the 767 with those NLG mounted LDG lights - same goes for the later 744's with NLG mounted LDG lights.
Don't get me wrong, it's certainly NOT a big deal, just annoying.
As for getting feedback, this is when you'll receive very positive yet indirect feedback from your engineering colleague such as....
"Ground to flightdeck, sorry it's taken so long to plug the headset in and make contact with you , but I can only see two white dots at the moment and it's taken me a while to find the headset jack. Could you turn your lights off please?"
Seriously guys, all in fun, if the worst you guys do to me is give me a better suntan all is forgiven.
Now............about those 13 items you've just written up.
P.S. By the way, I'm autobrakes4.....where do I get my beer.
Try being an engineering and arriving an A/C at night with taxi lights in face at point blank. All you can do is look away, who knows where the aircraft ends up! Been happening for years accidentally, just human error. Harden up!
Some people sure are touchy about getting feedback from others
