Danny and I have been watching this thread carefully. We're enjoying the debate, especially now that it has become more thoughtful.
You're still missing the big picture, barely one of you has bothered your backside to consider why we went to the time, effort and expense to create a haven for instructors.
If you want me to elucidate further I will be more than glad too: just as soon as the captains of free speech here put in just a modicum of effort into thinking through not why the thread was stopped at all but the long term strategic reasoning which means some sections of the site are much more rigidly policed than others.

Think that I may be a little late in adding my two cents........
People have to realise that "Instructing is the backbone of the industry" - without instructors, JJ, there would not be any pilots.... Or were the pilots of today just "CREATED" on the seventh day????
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion JJ (and anyone else), But, I ask you, Would U go into a Jewish church and offer PORK??....
If not, I would carefully consider what you say and where you post your thread!!!
For the record, I have a grade two instructor rating, and have been instructing for about 3 years, and I prefer instructing over charter anyday!!!
"Keep smiling Sunshiners!!"

Right well I'm entering the debate like it or not.
Firstly, CFI is the moderator and as such has every right to lock a thread. Don't bicker or argue that's just the wayt it is. Editorial judgement can be argued all day and all night but at the end of the day the editor makes a decision and that's final.
I have little sympathy for the complaint that this site is somehow ominously 'controlled' or 'censored'. Some damn evocative stuff appears here and it will continue to do so.
I admit that on first reading I was annoyed by the JJflyer comment. I was tempted to lock it myself. Then (as usual) I thought it better to leave it to be slapped down by others. Career instructors are gold-dust and I have nothing but respect for them.
I'm an instructor and have been for over 5 years (mostly part time) and I am damned proud of that fact. This forum is invaluable and I hardly think that only 2 lock outs in all its history justifies anybody to have a go at editorial policy.
Safe flying everybody,
