Anthony Atkielski, AKA MXSMANIC, is a troll and a vandal. He has driven many
regular posters from these newsgroups.
Many argue that he has a 'right' to post his off-topic drivel, and those who
don't like it should simply ignore it.
People have tried to politely ask him to cut it out.
He has consistantly refused.
It's like going to the beach where a large group of people next to you are
playing their music too loud. They claim it's their 'right', and there's nothing
you can do about it except leave.
I say "Fight Back"
Go to Anthony's web site www.atkielski.com and book a tour or english lesson.
He will never be able to trust another booking he gets through his website,
unless he confirms the reservation and/or asks for a deposit.
This change, alone, will drive away at least a few potential 'real life' clients.
We have done to his website what he has done to our newsgroup. Made it worthless. |

Are you sure it's him?
MX has pissed a lot of ppl off over at alt.games.microsoft.flight-sim
too. A long established and up to a few months ago a very respectable
group used mainly by simmers but huge contributors from PPL's,
instructors, Airbus pilot, Microsoft Developers to mention a few.

Yes, Anthony=MX. A little time at the domain ownership data pretty much
firmed up the identification a while back. |

If you mean by emailing him, fine. No harm done. But I have a real
problem with this group purposefully trying to conspire to harm
someone's business.
It's illegal, immoral, and childish -- three traits I don't normally
associate with pilots.

think of is vandalism and mob action. It seems we had this discussion
before, too, in a different context.

Remember; I didn't suggest the idea. I was just putting out a statement to
warn him, before anyone took action.
I do not like the idea of messing with his site, but I still think he
deserves it. I'm sorry if it offends you; it offends me, too.
A famous quote, from Star, by Miles O'Brien:
"I don't hate you, Cardassian. I hate what you have made me become."
I'm not this kind of person, by nature. I'll contemplate this, and pray for
change of the person causing our strife. That may be the only thing that
has not been tried.
To the other posters that think ignoring is the way to go? Yes, but that
will never happen. Too little self control, I think, by too many people.
I'll go back to ignoring and not responding on the subject, now.

I can't quite agree. For especially students or prospective
students, he has rather overstated the case as to the safety
of flying even basic FG singles - "tin cans." From some
posts, its sounds as though he's incompetent in MSFS.

That hardly destroys a newsgroup.

There is no strife, no crisis. All it is is a long bout of unflyable weather
after an enormously gentle and generous mid-winter.

 Trust me on this, and give it a try. It's mildly entertaining to watch
the shadowboxing from a distance. I think I would be a little sad if there
was no one left to stir his pot. It's just not something to get involved in,
to get all worked up over. The trick is to not read his posts directly, but
just the responses. |

"They jus' wanna tuawk to him."
Over the years I've been one of the more vocal opponents of people getting
"PLONKED". That said, I am not a fan of those who engage him in threads.
People: He'll (drown the thread) every time you let him climb onto your
backs! Replies the scorpion: "It's my nature..."
He enjoys this.
"I have absolutely no problem with people reaching out and touching him,
through his website."
This is a merging of something HE cares about (in the Real World) and
something we care about - these newsgroups. He can continue being ...him, he
can modify his behavior, or he can leave. His choice. <!!!>
