Default RE: Risk Takers?

DB IMO has a tendency to write without thinking stuff out. I often feel like I'm being treated as a small child when I read his articles in MA. That is how I felt when I read the article this thread is about. If it isn't the parent/child speech, it is the "lets all do it this way" speech or send us $20 now so your dues will be $15 lower next year or some other total BS. His subject matter is just fine in most cases (who could argue with safety?) but the tone and choice of words is totally messed up. I don't fly 3D much anymore, but I still took offense to his article. He could have made the same points in a much more tactful manner that would not have offended the 3D pilots. He really should have staff write his articles for him, and if they are already doing that, he needs to fire them and get new ghost writers.
