I'm not sure how you can call it silly to ask someone to take their posts seriously. If someone wants to make an comparison between aircraft then it deserves a serious attempt at comparison.
2ndly, the way Mandoble had posted he invited criticism with the lack of seriousness in his thread by (a) making observations with little or no attempt at asking a question or making a clear point and (b) a lack of rigor that would be involved with a serious discourse.
3rdly AKDJV is right. Threads like these are poor examples of learning. This one was salvaged by others who took the attempt to salvage what they could from the thread. The thread survived in spite of the poor way it was started.
4thly because I have given criticism, please don't mistake this as an attack on Mandoble. It may have been blunt criticism I gave but I'm only asking him to take comparison threads seriously. Besides, I've offered to buy him a beer at the con in a different thread altogether

. Mandoble is a Rook and a fellow countryman of mine. His services are much needed in purging the skies of the bish and knit hordes
