First, it's NOT "propaganda". This word is so overused and even more misunderstood. "Propaganda" against something that kills people is FINE. Even more so against the company that manufactures something knowing that it will kill people. It's called caution and it should be appreciated.
Second, max sentiment is NOT suppressed here, I assure you. I've only been here for a few a months and I honestly don't know what kind of people local admins are. But I've just come from a.nother forum where I got a 3-month ban for saying that Airbus sells more planes than Boeing. Admins there REALLY suppress anything that even hints that their beloved Boeing isn't the "greatest planemaker in the world". THAT's bad. And I don't really see this here. Yet?
Third, and maybe foremost, OF COURSE there are people here who love Boeing. And OF COURSE you got some knee-jerk reaction. Some of the people here flew or fly Boeing. Some of them LOVE the company. For some what's happening to it is a personal tragedy. Of course they are angry at you for saying you won't fly "the Max". Just calm down and fly Airbus.
PS How, in the name of everything that's holy, did you manage to only write 300 posts in TWENTY years!?
