Interesting comment Big Pistons. Cat is a pretty decent guy and I never found Hedly's post to be offensive, maybe not tolerant of an opposing view but never offensive.
Actually of all the people who posted there were three I enjoyed the most. Hedly's, Cat's and yours! A few of the moderators like to steer the discussions toward their view, which is human nature of course, but in the last year it has become so blatent with so many comments deleted at times you found it hard to follow the thread.
The main reason I don't visit Av Canada is the negative atmosphere that hangs over the website. Constant whinning about pay and the "we are all going to die because flying is soooo dangerous" attitude.
