Red Wine might be right, but more likely the "silent majority" is disgusted with Flare Dammit's emotional rantings and don't want any part of it whether they agree or disagree with some points he makes. Or they might think he was wrong to name the pilot. Sure a lot of people in the US knew the name of the pilot in the accident , but it wasn't on this forum until FD decided to say it. Or they might just know Flare always loves to go a step too far, provoking and if the thread gets closed and complain about that. We all knew guys like that at high school.
We don't need to know a pilot's name to have a good debate about the rights or wrongs of flying but that wasn't enough for Flare's lynchmob thinking. And remember we don't know if what FD claims is true or one of them stories that gets more colorful each time it's passed on. Bet it gets more colorful everytime FlareDammit tells it.
