Scroggs,
You surprise me. I thought, perhaps, you would appreciate the true nature of a forum - uninhibited discourse.
That is not the case here if moderators are provided with an ability to selectively censor threads that do NOT necessarily praise their purported wisdom. I understand that this is a commercial enterprise as well - you have sponsors, etc. I am not questioning that - certainly a propper level of decorum is an absoulte requirement.
However, slamming scared, anxious Wannabes is not the propper role of a moderator - even you must agree with me on that, right? Scroggs, did you read the post and WWW's comments? Did you notice the 7-8 other Ppruner remarks condemning WWW's harshness? Did you read his response to me in which he immaturely referred to me as a "damn yank" and a "prat"? Is that propper for an objective moderator? If it is ok with you, then I think Capt. Pprune should also weigh in on this issue because some form of corrective action should be taken.
I will play by the rules (I love to participate on PPrune), but I would appreciate more objectivity and less overt bitterness towards hapless Wannabes seeking guidance. I wasn't the only PPruner upset - if you read the original thread you will find many others.
It's all about EQUITY - and once a forum loses equity, credibility starts to wane...
Read the original thread if at all possible - you WILL understand.
Cheers
