I unknowingly met Mr.X a few weeks ago, and he did create a lasting impression. I foolishly gave up a minor e advantage, he managed to turn the tables, and he shot me down. This happens, and normally I would have just gone on with my flying. I've flown online since WB 1.0xx, and met and respect a lot of my fellow pilots.
What really made the impression of Mr. X (RJ), though, was not his skill, not my being beaten. It was his comment directed at me after winning, which was something to the effect that I was a dweeb and an idiot, just for losing to him.
Mr. X, respect is not earned by points or by skill. Respect is earned by how one conducts oneself, and you lost mine the minute I read your little outburst. You may even rise to be #1 on the stats, but you will always be dead last until you show a little respect for others, both winners and losers.
