It never ceases to amaze me how Pprune allows such personal slurs on named individuals to go unmoderated. I agree with C42's earlier post that he should be wished a speedy recovery.
I'd hazard a guess if any of us dared launch such remarks of stupidity / idiocy / danger to others at a professionally qualified pilot that had been named on a thread it would be closed pdq. I have flown commercially with some clowns who have done some dangerous things over the years that I don't wish to remember but I wouldn't go shaming them when they'd been named on a public forum.
This old chap has children and grandchildren. If I was one of them stumbling across this thread I'd be hurt at what's been written by some.
In this case, I fear freedom of speech is not something to be celebrated when I read the sad indictment of how people love to scoff at other's mistakes.
