The article will probably upset you but you should read it to the end.

Not interested in comparing the different types of mindsets in gaming. I do know and I've been around enough to know that in this medium, there are no guarantees as to the honour of anyone competing.
That's why most good fliers are in squadrons with squadron etiquette and ROE in effect. Open public servers - no guarantee as to who you meet or fly against. There are some pretty big low-life people out there just as there is the opposite.
I stand by my observations of the odds of score accumulation taking into consideration all the facets of this sim.
Public servers - just like public chat rooms invite all types and without controls in place . . . . . will say no more.
As an aside, you don't really know what my mindset is in the gaming world.
Again, I draw your attention to the statistics of kills ratio and what is known to be doable by those, including me, who have been here a very very long time.
