Since he refused any sort of training ages ago I have just run with the amusement of how easily he can wind people up.

Actually I've spend hundreds, if not thousands, of hours in the DA/TA being trained and helped by many great pilots... including nrshida, Yenny, Debrody, SFOX, batfinkV, morfiend, grizz, fester, pervert, mickyd, and many others.
All very much appreciated and mostly fun too... although disappointing, at times, because I couldn't "get" what some were trying to teach. I did/do try to learn though... very hard.
That's why I can now win most 1v1s and often 2v1s, and occasional 3v1s.
The learning curve was steep, but I've climb most of what I think I can - so far. Now, I'm stuck on a plateau that I realized further training/help is just wasting the time of the trainer.
I don't like wasting people's time that want to teach something which I can't seem to get. Learning how to beat the remaining 5% of pilots, like you, Bruv, appears out of reach and as you know extremely difficult. Many have tried to teach me to go further, yet I seem to absorb very little now.
I've reached the point of diminishing returns vs effort expended on the part of trainers and will have to wait for a light bulb to come on before I can go further. I'll know it when I can beat Debrody, you, Redbull, etc with substantial frequency in the same aeroplanes.
It may never happen, but I certainly haven't stopped trying to win nor do I avoid fun fights no matter how embarrassing they may be for me.
Trainers deserve the reward of the student learning.
I can't, for now, seem to learn more, but can fight as hard as I can... and win against many, often.
One must come to terms with their reality if they find it unrealistic to change it, for a period of time.
You might think I've given up, but that is actually far from true. If I did, I wouldn't be fighting daily even when muted, occasionally unjustly, for weeks.
I hope to figure out what allows you to beat me so easily...and it's this hardest last bit I need to "get"... and much training has not helped me with it, but it's still fun trying to win.
