Many people are commenting definitively despite not knowing the facts of the case, nor knowing GTE very well. Expression of opinion despite absence of knowledge is a common feature of most forums!
I concur with Fuji Abound's first post on this thread.
PPRUNE/IB run these forums as they see fit, we read/contribute or not as we see fit. I have no fundamental complaints.
Naming GTE (if indeed they did) is wrong, however this has to be seen against the fact that he regularly makes statements which leave little veil over his true indentity.
