Time to lay off guys and girls. The reason we don't put links to scab lists on here is because it always ends up in a p!ssing contest that goes nowhere. Unfortunately there are too many pilots out there that are unable to figure out that not everyone will agree with your point of view or version of historical events and no matter how much you write and how forcefully you try to put it both sides will always disagree.
If I let discussion about scab lists or 89 or whatever to be repeated ad nauseum all we would have is a thread that has the same argument going round and round and round and round... with both sides getting angrier and angrier, piling insult upon insult and to be honest most people who may have had a valid opinion just don't bother. They have been done to death on here and for the minority of pilots who still feel the need to p!ss higher than everyone else on a subject that has done the rounds and never gets solved all I can suggest is find a mailing list or website that caters to the kind of mayhem that ensues when the two sides are allowed to flame away, unmoderated.
You signed up to a moderated bulletin board and therefore you abide by the rules. If a discussion starts about any dispute and stays reasonably intertesting without the usual infantile threats and counter threats then it stays otherwise it is closed or even removed. Anyone who wants to try and circumvent the rules by posting links to scab lists or anything else that may be out of date and contain errors but names individuals then be prepared to have your work removed or edited.
As for the AOA advertising on PPRuNe, why not. They have paid for their advert just like everyone else and it is thanks to the moneys received from the advertisers that you all have this website to try and outp!ss eachother on!
Anyone not happy with a moderators actions is free to email [email protected] and your complaint will be investigated but if any of you try to undermine them in the open on here when they have a difficult enough job to do looking after this in their spare time then you will have me to deal with and I am not known for my benevolence!
