You might get away with just being accused of cyber bullying and trying to stifle discussion but if Intercepted sees your post you'll probably be treated to a load of abuse as well.
I saw his posts before the Mods took action.
There is clearly a balance here; on the one hand no one should feel 'cyber bullied' or flamed or whatever for posting something that while one may not agree with is not ostensibly offensive and/or potentially damaging if the press report it. Certainly all stewmath's post may have prompted from me would have been a chuckle if the incident it referred to wasn't so serious and tragic. The debate about whose fault it was for appearing in the press seems largely academic since as we all know we should aways expect poor editorial standards from newspapers in general in this regard.
However we should still be CONSCIOUS of what we are posting and how it could be read or reported...for example the suggestion that 'so and so aircraft may have been involved' and that 'so and so aircraft had an expired CofA'...what if the press reported that?
How do you think someone from Ravenair or whoever was responsible for the aircraft would feel if they saw that suggestion reported in the press and it wasn't true? People just need to think a bit more before posting sometimes.
