Here's how it works here (I've been here a VERY long time, so I think I'm qualified to explain this):
Most newcomers are great, generally, they're student pilots, or very early in their pilothood that they are looking for information to absorb and they do it by listening to the more experienced people.
Some newcomers are very experienced pilots, and they come here with the understanding that despite their few thousand hours, they are still a newbie here, and they need to learn who is who and how things work.
Some newcomers are very experienced pilots, and they have an attitude that they are the most knowledgeable of anyone on this forum because of their massive number of hours. They usually come off abrasive and **** people off. They don't generally stick around very long because people don't respect their 5000 landings in a type-rated jet.
Other newcomers are new pilots but have a serious attitude problem. They feel the need to fit in, rather than letting it happen naturally, so they latch onto the need to explain how much better they do things than others. These people also don't generally last very long.
But I don't think we really have any "trolls" per se, that only exist to cause problems here. They're just different types of people that don't fit in because they are so abrasive. The real trolls we have are spammers. They are generally kicked out pretty quickly.
I used to know everything, but I have forgotten most of it by now.
One thing for sure - I don't want to tick-off Nick - he could kick my ass over the phone!
The more I become involved with POA and its members, the more I hate the newcomers who seem to me to be trolls. I am starting to care about pilots on POA, and get to know them, and when I see these trolls it just makes me soooooo mad. Argh.
As I was repeatedly told in high school, after kicking some kid's ass, I'm just a teddy bear with aggressive looks.
Hey, it helped land me the hottest wife in the world.
