Yeah, I've met Spike and Adam, two of the volunteer moderators. They
are outstanding guys -- but subservient to Jesse. (Heck, they both
work a brazillion hours per week -- they don't have time to do much
more than they are doing.)

And Jesse seems like a well-meaning kid. I have NO idea why he (or
one of the others) got a bean up their butt about that thread, but so
be it. They killed it, and lost my faith, for whatever that's worth.

That's the wonderful part about the internet. There are literally a
dozen, (maybe a hundred?) other forums to play in.

As for insulting a subset of aviation, my friend's quote was pretty
tame stuff. I'm sure we can do better here...

It's funny -- over there, we can't be "****ed" at anyone -- but we can
call 'em an "asshole". Go figure!

According to his account info, he is 23. A bit green.
Given the light moderation, I think they aren't doing too bad. They just
need some "free advice," of which I have oodles to give.

Although he's mostly a good guy, I'm growing uncomfortable with the
whole concept of being censored by a single guy -- even a well-meaning
one.

Actually they name 6 people on their "MC" but if one of them is doing all
the technical work and paying most of the on-going bills, the other 5 are
just super cargo.

Besides, you did manage to post a message that insulted a subset of pilots
- even if you technically didn't write it, you quoted it. I barely had time
to insult you back. Where's the justice in that?

And you got your courtesy car back from the "jerks". Hopefully the incident
didn't cause any real friction in your family.
