He's obviously never been one of the people who has had to
rescue/attempt to rescue or otherwise extract a friend or collegue from
the wreckage of a mishap.

I recently posted a strong objection to a photographer pushing crash
videos on the newsgroups. I've pasted in below word for word the exact
quoted text of a post below addressed to me personally. Aside from the
personal comment the photographer makes to me, which is fine, and fully
within his right to do so in defense of his position, please note his
GENERAL FEELINGS about race pilots and airshow pilots, and after reading
his general comment about pilots like myself, ask yourself if this
person is, as he has said, involved in his hobby of crash photography
simply because he "loves" aviation? Ask yourself about his frame of
thinking as he's watching pilots like myself do a demonstration. Then
ask yourself how he feels about me as he's taking that video!
Thank you for your time,

From Iwan Bogels to me below;

I don't have to put up with the opinion of some
hypocrite
pilot who is involved in demonstration flights and air races, intended
to
push flying to the limit. If it wasn't for guys like you, about 50% of
all
crash videos would have never been shot because the crashes simply
didn't
occur.

If it wasn't for guys like you, aviation would be much more dangerous.
Thank God for those who define the limits for the rest of us.

This newsgroup is like the TV. Fatal or severe injury crashes are
not allowed. Only slight injury crashes are allowed.

It is a civic duty to maintain these common decencies.
