I have now deleted the Username 'Beagler' off the list of statisitcs as per his request.
I had originally decided to keep it to prevent someone else from registering it and not for my personal statistics as insinuated. For the original Beaglers information I delete between 10 and 20 usernames a day because of invalid email addresses and lost passwords and for me to want to keep his to keep the number up just goes to prove how self inflated his ego is, especially after his crass comments about how how much superior he is by not having killed himself flying.
I do not mind anyone discussing incidents and accidents and if you want to add condolences then go ahead (not my preference but some of you obviously feel the need to do so) but to have someone like Beagler and OzExpat inflame everyone with their cowardly comments about how stupid someone else must be because they were killed in a crash and therefore by deduction someone like Beagler must be Mr Perfect are not acceptable.
As you see though, this thread was started by our intrepid Mr Aviator Beagler himslef which goes to show that he was not censored but in order to fulfil his wishes I have now deleted his Username. No doubt someone else will take up the moniker and hopefully won't make the same mistakes. The former Mr Beagler will also have the opprtunity to register a new Username but with a bit of common sense will use it to partake in a forum for pilots without the attitude that makes him so brave behind his anonymity.
As for the Wee Weasly Welshman and his opening remarks... I can understand his frustration and his lack of diplomacy just goes to show you why he is doing his dream job of flying a Boeing and getting paid for it and is not the ambassador for Wales to somewhere like Iraq. PPRuNe is not some big corporation with offices and hunderds or thousands of employees and a
PR department. It is a website with a handful of dedicated volunteers like WWW and Sick Squid who help keep it in order and not get out of hand like soem other websites that are unmoderated.
So, Beagler... good riddance. Should you ever get a professional licence you will still not be welcome here.
Not very diplomatic I know... but I feel so much better!
Now off to Jet Blast with this piece of trivia.
