Completely agree, I have no issue with the GA fraternity, I have a PPL and have enjoyed the freedom it brings for many years (Mil flying gives more of a buzz, but is in essence a job where the pressure to achieve the highest standards is always present). Never had much problem with other airspace users; bonged a few areas I shouldn't have, had 3 airproxes and a mid-air, and seen mistakes on both sides of the fence (hangliders, in the Lakes, jumping off the hill the opposite side of the valley to the one that was NOTAM'd!!). We've had a fair bit of thread drift, maybe we should get back to DSA and HUY.
Don't quite understand the bashing of RHADS. As a location it's a damn site better than HUY and LBA. As an east midlands dweller, it's far more accesible than any of the other options, I know the new MD quite well and Peel have invested a huge amount of money (including a new CAT III ILS), so for those hoping to see a shopping centre, I wouldn't hold your breath.
