Tony B. Your post makes intersting reading. you say you are a lurker and your opinion doesn't count for much. Well, your opinion is valued the same as anyone else who reads pprune. Just because you don't post often doesn't mean you have no weight behind you.
Second point is why you think your post would be deleted and yourself banned
Why????
As for moderating this thread, I stepped in a few pages back to calm things down a bit and it worked for a while. Right now, most of the posts have gone back to having a go at individuals rather than the main point of this thread and that is,
"The quality of your instruction...."
"What next then" I hear you cry. Well, whatever I say I will do to stop the thread turning into a flame war, I will get a lot of stick by some. The only thing I can do to save it is lock it and leave it and that I might do if it continues to go the way it is going.
