I'm sorry if I've offended some of you - like most, I hold down a job that has long days, both good & bad & there are occasions when I am a little less tolerant than others. I have no regrets in binning the Qibla wall thread. Let me reiterate the general policy regarding posting - this site is primarily for the use of professional pilots; however all other aviation related individuals are welcome to take part in the forum with the requirement that the posts are:
i) Aviation related.
ii) Associated with the Middle East or neighboring regions that do not have their own forum.
iii) Are not culturally offensive or made with the purpose of offending or bringing into disrepute others or the owner of this site.
As for me being a law unto myself, regretfully as a Captain's decisions are not always popular, it is incumbent on me to maintain some semblance of order and at times I am obliged to censure some & control the postings of others. I am sorry that at times this brings me into conflict with the views or opinions of some of our members or guests.
Most important - this site for all of us in the Sandpit - it's what we make it. I think it runs really well but if you're unhappy with the way things are run then please send a mail to the administrators voicing your concerns. Please don't waste the bandwidth if your concern is not a valid one.
Over to you.................
