Personally I take the view that it serves the purpose I want it to serve,
That maybe fine for YOU but what about other members who may want the LAA to have have an interesting, dynamic, controversial forum which makes you want to go there and take an interest in the association an it workings.
though I put little store in posts made by people who are not prepared to come out from behind the shield of anonymity.
Why? Take an look through a random selection of postings on a few forums, both aviation related and otherwise, and I am sure you find plenty of anonymous postings that are interesting and thought provoking.
As Lucy Lastic says it is the LAA's site so they can have what they want but I think there are more than a few members who would welcome a more interesting site. It is hard to imagine the topic being discussed in this thread being being had on the LAA site or being made very welcome.
If the saying "people vote with their feet" is true, I will leave you to draw your own conclusions about the LAA forum.
