The overstating is being done by zoom. There is a lot of smoke and that's where
zoom operates , in the smoky grey area where he can create his own perception
out of a different reality. zoom put his own spin on this bit of reality in an
effort to harm Sun n Fun. No one said he was totally wrong ,there might be a tax
problem in Florida, it's just that his take on it was tainted by his vendetta
for Sun n Fun. You say even zoom isn't wrong 100% of the time well neither are
the zoom bashers.And we all have good reason not to trust zoom even if he seems
right. It has to do with his credibility as a journalist but that's for another
day.

I'm not saying the folks slamming Zoom are wrong. I understand you've got a
history there that justifies your approach to anything he says.

What I am taking exception to is that you're discounting the whole Florida
affair because of your history with him, even though other, reputable
sources are reporting the same things. If you look past your history with
Zoom, you'll see that there's still a problem, and it needs to be brought
into the light. It's not just Zoom's take on things. If it was, AOPA and EAA
wouldn't be reporting on it. If AOPA and EAA report that it's not a problem,
then and only then will I believe it's not. I don't care what Zoom has to
say about it. I do care what those two organizations say.
