Over the past eight years or so the issues surrounding a previous industrial dispute have been done to death, time after time, ad infinitum. Threads have degenerated to the point users have been banned – not for their opinions either way on the dispute, but solely due to their conduct in this forum. Consensus will never be achieved.
Indeed, the owners and publishers of this forum have been threatened with legal action for libel and defamation. As a result, a decision has been made not to permit that word due to the emotions it generates.
Regarding Kaptin M’s totally erroneous allegation – no Woomera is siding with anyone. The Woomera team have always conducted their moderating of this forum in a professional and fair manner, never permitting personal opinions (if indeed they have any personal opinions on the issues) to cloud their judgement.
Lastly, the title of this thread is ALAEA ups bans. The engineers are entitled to their opinions without flack from the side lines, provided the posted opinions are in accordance with PPRuNe rules.
We will not permit thread drift into other issues.
