It’s not so much what you said, but the general “unhinged ranting” vibe of it that’s immediately apparent.

  If people are not allowed to rant sometimes, this is a sad world.

    You're allowed to rant about whatever you like. What you're not allowed to do is fly airplanes or helicopters without the FAA's sign-off. Look, I personally think you're probably a normal and well-adjusted person, or at least close enough that it's not dangerous for you to be allowed to fly. But all neurotypical humans judge each other based on subjective, possibly unfair pattern-matching at least as much, if not more, than what they say or do. Your blog, subjectively, has an unhinged vibe; it's not fair but it's true. You are not going to be able to prevent people from reading it and thinking "this pattern-matches the type of person who might commit terrorist acts with an airplane" (ironclad devotion to uncommon belief systems, long screeds against the government and mainstream society, etc).

      Eh, there's some truth to that. However, my blog was not part of the appeal material sent to the FAA, and they also told me the reason they rejected me, which had to do with long-standing unofficial policies that required me to jump through more hoops. I could have gotten a medical, but felt the cost to my marriage would not be worth it.
