I missed the two threads referred to above. You chaps do realise you can report threads that are inappropriate (or in any other way unacceptable), do you not? The Mods can't be expected to read
everything that appears on these pages; we have jobs, wives/girlfriends, kids, houses, etc all demanding our attention as well!

There was no insult to the RAF Regt stated or implied in my post. Any such inference you may have taken is mistaken. Nor is there any statement in the original post what the topic was that caused so much angst in the RAF News. However, your suggestion that it was some RAFP/RAF Regt issue increases my feeling that it is not relevent to this forum.

I entirely applaud your empathatic approach to your non-flying colleagues and subordinates, but Pprune has no remit to be an unofficial RAF management tool. This forum is about military aviation. I have seen nothing yet that justifies the original post's inclusion here.
