I can understand a great deal of frustration that becomes evident on these forums. If one looks at the first post of the thread

A BA 747 has allegedly struck the jetty at Terminal One , LHR. . Low impact minor damage. 325 pax onboard. More to follow
Is it actually achieving anything? Does it attempt at a commencement of discussion? IMO, it doesn't. And this pisses people off. It's like when people post "I saw a go-around at XYZ airport".......it's been said before and will be said again. Go-arounds aren't a big deal. There are so many reasons that may cause a go-around. I myself have seen these threads and though to myself (however correct or incorrect it may be) the only reason this is here is because somebody wants to see gory details (ATC error/pilot error etc). And I don't think I am the only one.

Admittedly, some of the responses to these posts can be a little inflamatory. I guess it's just an overflow of (understandable)frustration.
