'and just because you are a moderator WWW you get to make your opinion a 'sticky'. Pretty pathetic. I see PPRuNe are still very happy to accept money from the Florida FTO's to advertise despite YOUR opinion which you get to force feed the forum just because of your moderator status.'
This is rich; as I recall a thread was deleted in July 2007 at the behest of EFT, regarding the quality of RT examinations at their location. By a local examiner. Who had nothing to do with the school. Despite being listed as one of the owners. Oh, and regularly examining CPL skills tests.
It would seem that this is a dubious privilege extended to sponsors.
Are you seriously suggesting that moderators moderate their opinion on the sponsors' say as well? I am sure that you would agree, Mordacai, that business is one thing, freedom of speech another? Are you not taking the sponsors' privilege a little far?
