This topic is running in several areas of the site. It's 8 pages long on the private Southwest Airlines forum to put this one into perspective.
As to the main R+N forum 25 to 30% of the posts in a major crash thread get binned. It's a signal to noise mechanism. Landflap got his nose out of joint for being part of the noise and stating he should be heard because he has 20,000 hours. That experience does not prevent him having finger trouble when he claims he's been writing to us - he hasn't.
Let's be blunt - it's editorial control not speakers' corner and that is to stop the main accident threads being a complete zoo.
