luvthe9 said:Found on the internet....... Sure sounds like Munn and Traitor...We all know of an east pilot here that has his own forum and that constantly writes and supports the west efforts to take our seniority. No single east pilot has done more to enflame the west with his letters of support. The fact is, he has invested a great deal of time, energy and destroyed his reputation because he is so consistently wrong about almost everything! Every time the west loses in court, he trumpets 'Leonidas' and their attorney's opinions that "next time we will get them."
People often ask me what is wrong with this particular pilot and not being a psychiatrist, I couldn't really say. Everybody has their opinions. But some enlightened person came up with an explanation that could easily be written about him in particular and fits him like a glove.

Subject: Re: Troll
The Psychopathological Troll
The psychopathological troll is motivated to participate in an internet forum by psychotic delusions or compulsions, or by a neurotic seeking of false self-esteem. The postings of a psychotic troll are unlikely to make any recognizable sense at all. On SOLO, the moderation of first posters effectively eliminates truly psychotic trolls. The neurotic troll either seeks to obtain false self-esteem by manipulating the reactions of others, or by demonstrating his "power" to destroy what others enjoy. The neurotic troll is often manipulative enough to make it past the initial moderation. However, on a Randian site such as SOLO, the neurotic troll's primacy of consciousness soon becomes evident: rather than respond substantively to the actual claims and arguments in the articles and posts he attacks, the neurotic troll twists and spins whatever he responds to, into whatever he has "the perfect answer" to. Then the original poster points out the manipulation and the neurotic troll is exposed. After two or three incidents of this type the neurotic troll usually gives up.
The Problem is "This pilot never acknowledges his mistakes and never gives up."
Being a troll is one thing.
Being a troll and being a former, deluded, faithful AOL donor is a candidate for sympathy.
Being a troll and being a current, deluded, faithful AOL donor ...
