May I refer those looking to stifle debate
Not sure anybody is looking to "stifle" debate, well, not intelligent debate
Conjecture covers a mutitude of sins, and in many cases is, IMHO inappropriate. As per the Mods'
Disappointingly, some on this forum are displaying gross insensitvity and a lack of decency. [moderator note - the posts referred to have been deleted]
so there have been inappropriate posts.
If you want pPrune "policy" look no further than the bottom of each page
As these are anonymous forums the origins of the contributions may be opposite to what may be apparent. In fact the press may use it, or the unscrupulous, or sciolists*, to elicit certain reactions.
It
is fact that posts on this forum are in the press minutes later as "informed comment".
So my lines of thought would be:
- Do not unnecessarily "speculate".
- Caveat comments e.g. as above
and having no regard for the unfortunate accident
I'm not referring to this specific accident here
- Bear in mind what you say may be in the press and seen by the relatives shortly thereafter. Decide if you really need to say what you are saying? And do you need to say it now? (The press factor will go away after a day or 2).
As Stiknruda says
I'd ask you to have a good look at what you are typing and ask yourselves, "Does this really add any value?"
And NB re
This is PPRuNe - "Professional Pilots Rumour Network" - and it is to be expected that it will do exactly what it says on the tin.
yes - it is a "rumour" network, but also "Professional Pilots", and that is how it will be perceived
Bottom line to me is
If you don't want to read other's posts regarding this thread then stop reading it. Nobody is forcing you.
if only that were true... Unfortunately posting on here does have consequences and thus responsibilities by posters.
