started using the usenet to counter some of his lies, he tried to
silence them with lawsuits and threats of lawsuits.

So if people here don't seem to accept anything he prints, it is not
without justification.

All of this would be relevant if it was just Zoom. It's not just Zoom.

And nobody is arguing that point. Only Zoom has tied it to Sun-N-Fun
as justification for ending that even. The response from EAA and AOPA
were both printed after the story from Zoom and I suspect in response
to concerns raised by that story. The story was previously reported
without reference to Sun-N-Fun and with little concern almost a year
ago and was drug out only to use as an excuse to attack Sun-N-Fun yet
again.

I also have to wonder why you are putting such effort into defending
Zoom's story when admittedly you have never even read the story. If
you don't know the tone and scope of his report and how he used it to
try and throw a shadow over a great flyin...why the defense? Is it
your contention that any publication can print anything they want as
long as there is some element of fact in the story?
