Safety arguments: A spotter's guide
http://paraglidingforum.com/viewtopic.php?p=p265438
Safety arguments are a popular topic for internet forums, but
following the hundreds of passionate posts each day can be intimidating. This
quick guide will help you categorize posters so you quickly pigeon-hole them
according to whether they agree or disagree with your point of view. You can
then gently stroke your ego by re-reading in detail the posts that you already
agree with, while quickly dismissing those who challenge you with a quick flick
of the negative karma button. Long posts are hard and require difficult
considering, so don't read them in detail. Instead, scan, judge quickly, and
click those karma buttons, baby, yes! THE HOT SHOT This young spunker is a damn good pilot. He's motivated, skilled, and gets good
results. He's out flying all time, addicted to paragliding and doesn't really
understand what's so hard about flying a 2-liner full speed through a partial
leeside. Good points: Has huge amounts of direct, first-hand experience Bad points:
Assumes that all other pilots are as skilled and as gung-ho as he is Motto:
Freedom to choose!
