Bye for Now ;-) (multiple forum personalities of Alexis)

Guys, the whole thing is not worth all these posts. To make things clear I have now registered with my real name, I would have preferred to do that right from the start.

Yes, the “TBM girl” was me. That was a direct (and stupid, I admit) reaction to my “Flyer59” account beeing suspened for no real reason (at least I thinks so).

And No, “Dylan_22” was not me. It was a close friend from the US, who will maybe comment on this himself. He used my office (and IP address) for some time. On the other hand: “Dylan_22”, who is a real Cirrus specialist, has never written anything objectionable here, so I what is the problem with him?

The VERY LAST person I would want to be is the “Sabine Behrle” character. Please say anything about me, but don’t say that :-)

PS: There’s a good chance this account gets deleted aswell. If so, then I’ll keep in touch via eMail with the pilots I know.

I am going to roll over laughing about dylan22 being a visitor…

WN, no identity theft in this case.

Well, it might not get me any bonus point with you guys, but for what it’s worth, I’d be happy to see Alexis back and contributing…

Following some discussions we will let Alexis carry on here, subject to him refraining from repeating his past activities which led to his various pseudonyms getting banned. Here is a non-exhaustive list:

• compliance with our Guidelines
• his posts need to be on topic, informative and respectful
• no derogatory comments about EuroGA or anyone on it, written anywhere else, by any form of messaging or on any website or forum*
• no outing of anyone posting here, written anywhere else, by any form of messaging or on any website or forum*
• no attempts to run message or email “campaigns” to multiple recipients who are active on EuroGA, regardless of whether the content is derogatory or not

* This applies even if the forum permits or even welcomes derogatory comments and personal details (outing) of individuals to be posted as e.g. COPA (the Cirrus site) and PUF permitted from Alexis in the past.

The above is merely civilised behaviour, consistent with a non-hypocritical use of EuroGA. Not much to ask!

I know Alexis can make good contributions if he chooses to.

If anyone wants to get an insight into the psychology behind online multiple personalities, I do recommend a documentary called Catfish. It’s available on Netflix, so presumably other channels too.

It’s a bit like watching a car crash, but nonetheless fascinating.

Alexis and his “American friend” Dylan share a fairly unusual and particular way of capitalizing “eMail”.

This whole thing is rather odd, but to be fair I thought that Flyer59/Alexis’s posts in the past were generally fine.

I used to write “eMail”, but I am not Spartacus. I think it was quite common in the early days (mid 80s) and it probably stuck with some of us older ones.

I can’t find a way of giving a URL, but here is a screen print of a 1986 Computerworld magazine:

I know it says eMAIL, but I assure you that eMail was equally common.

Ah, here is the URL

Jesus Christ, an FBI profiler … I really didn’t deserve that ;-)

I write eMail, e-Mail and E-Mail, I spent many years in the Computer Industry I use all these versions.

@Peter,

One thing I really like about the PPL/IR forum is that people use their real names and you know who you’re corresponding with. It sits behind a log-in and there is a membership fee to support the great work the organisation does, but it nevertheless makes it less attractive for anyone to troll.

Now, there is less of an organisation around Euroga, but I would like to see a log-in and a recuirement to pay a token amount to get in. Most brand specific forums work that way (Beech, Advanced Cessna, etc).
