Yes you *are*, you ridiculous buffoon! Until such time as the flier
DECIDES TO CARRY THE ADDITIONAL WEIGHT - something that he cannot be
compelled to do, all this "weight" you assume he is subjected to is nothing
more than an unbalanced force, and all that will result from their addition
is that the flier will *move* in response to that force. You are ASSUMING,
with no basis in the game mechanics and a staggering _absence_ of basis in
fact, that a flier's lifting force somehow works just as if he were standing
on the ground! *NO*.
God *damnn* but you are one stupid jackass! You've had to be told this
two dozen times and you simply REFUSE TO LEARN. Why, Goslin? Why can't you
comprehend such a basic, simple thing, as that your example violates every
rule of the game and every rule of reality as well?

And here is another example of why you are our group's most deserving
dunce. After explaining to you that flying vehicles don't have the
reaction-with-the-earth mechanism that can create crushing effects from
carrying too much weight, you turn around and suggest that I believe they
do?
And *then* you go on to discuss how it would be silly if AIRPLANES
displayed the behaviour of a MAGICAL SPELL IN DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS, as if
that had any relevance whatsoever!
