The title of this thread - "
AOPA - 4 Directors resign" - would do Baghdad Bob or Joe Goebels proud!
It should be titled "
Let's Bag Gaunty" from the content of most posts for the past six pages!
The thread has remained open solely due to the fact there have been some objective, rational, factual posts, to which the detractors and whingers have failed to respond.
I'm tired of reading a plethora of unsubstantiated personal attacks - many of which, under normal circumstances, should have been removed or moderated under the PPRuNe rules.
Gaunty has explained his position. Bob Murphie has posted an election platform. Doug Stott, Bendo, Creampuff, Ops Normal and others have rationally posted their opinions on Membership and the AOPA woes over the past decade or so.
brianh, movingforward, Garrylous et al and others: If you wish to remain part of this debate, the personal attacks - which contribute nothing to the debate - are to cease.
Either the thread returns to the thread topic with more positive posts and no further personal attacks, or the big lock will be applied.

P.S. If this post follows the normal course of events, it will be found within 24 hours, "cut and post" on another aviation forum under the title "PPRuNe Censorship Again!"
