This was a tragic accident. To suggest it was a result of recklessness is ridiculous.
Indeed. But how many posters have actually expressed this view. I've followed both threads since they occurred, because the subject interests me. I've seen very little that actually sets out to pan the pilot in any over the top manner.

There are many posts that imply that pilot error will be the at outcome and whether that is right or wrong at this stage of the process, that is world away from suggesting the pilot is reckless or anything like that.

Much of the discourse on both threads has been moderate and polite. It is people polarising the debate and then reacting over-emotionally to views they do not agree with that gives these thread a confrontational appearance.
