Well Joe, you spotted what I wrote before it was wiped. It wasn't offensive. It merely stated that I personally do not approve of homosexuality but will tolerate it, because I think tolerance is a key to civilised society. I can't be a*rsed (pun intended) to spend hours at the keyboard spouting off like that McLelland bloke.
I'm not religious, but I know that calling the Pope a bigot is deeply offensive to 20 million or so Catholics (I made this number up). But that's OK because a gay bloke said it. What I find more disturbing is that the moderator of this site started selectively editing this site without the telling the poster why. Some time back I made a post under the influence which referred to perceived national characteristics, i.e. Scottish people are tight. It was supposed to be light-hearted and not meant to offend. The mod jumped in with 'deleted due to racist rant'.
That's fine. Didn't agree, but you accept the ref's decision-type thing. You wonder what else has 'disappeared'.
So just so we all know..... will the moderator introduce himself?

Umm, excuse me, but
Hmmm, if the MILITARY AIRCREW FORUM's purpose is: for the professionals who fly the non-civilian hardware, and the backroom boys and girls without whom nothing would leave the ground. Army, Navy and Airforces of the World, all equally welcome here, me thinks one of the most strident posters on it is really not qualified.
We now return you to your regularly scheduled posts.

It would be interesting to see who is doing this - Monty made some very valid points and had them taken off! Why does Tim McLelland's posts stay as I am sure they could be equally offensive to others?

End of the day Danny lays down the rules and if I remember correctly its all based on the "hotel lobby" principle. His ball, train set or whatever therefore we play by his rules! He doesn't have to explain them to anyone. Don't agree with his policy then don't post. And no, I'm not a mod in disguise! To get back to the original topic, if you want a FQ then either get married or get legally partnered with your same sex partner / best mate. Personally, by choice I would do the former before the latter (my choice, not an anti-gay slur) but whichever I did I would rather rent or buy my own place than live in a 1960's house under 1950's (at best) rules and conditions.
However, to keep the tradition of thread creep alive and well can we have a closed Military Aircrew forum please?

Sadly I'm going to miss out on this for the next few weeks as I am off to defend the rights of those with whom I disagree but will defend with my life.
Timmy Bell-End. What's your tartan. It's not Burberry is it?
Moderator. Go to Arrse. Tough up and realise that even on the internet, on a site like this, you cannot erase stuff with which you disagree or you will lose all credibility with the particular community you seek to encourage. Start a gay military aviation site if you want and see how many will advertise on it.
Thought so. See ya.
You're still an anonymous knob in my book
Go public.

Homosexuality is not something that needs my approval. It exists and it always will. I just don't approve. What's the snag? I don't approve of the Israeli action in Lebanon.
Got a problem with that?

The Mods tend, by and large, to leave us alone on Mil aircrew and only step in when folk post tripe that is intentionally abusive and/or has nothing to do with the purpose of the forum. PPRuNe tends to conduct its business on a rather more gentlemanly level than arrse. Long may it continue, IMHO.
Joe Black erronoeously thought that gay folk were denying him married accommodation (overall you'll be lucky if, of the stock of thousands of quarters, more than a dozen are occupied by gay couples). Quite why that was seen as an invitation for those with an inordinate interest in homosexuality for apparently straight folk to vent their loathing, is beyond me.
I'm a card-carrying poof and this is my 5th post on this thread. If number of posts is indicative of interest in a subject, your interest in things gay would appear to be more than twice as great as mine, Monty!
Wishing you all the best in whatever sandpit you will be fighting in for the next few weeks.

Haven't posted 'tripe' and will not. Will not be hounded out of a military mil aviation forum by the likes of you.
Still asking the moderator to justify the deletions/moderation that went on earlier. This is not forthcoming.
I do not like homosexuals but will tolerate their right to legally practice what they do. I will not condone or approve it.
If you you can do your job, you're ok by me, and when it all goes bandy bollo then the judgement is reserved for the debrief. I suspect that AT is not mil.
Off to the sand pit.
Sand is not pink
Mod is still a knob for not fessing
AND I'M STILL PAYING TAXES

It's been a pleasure......bye, er.......not in the sense of Bi you understand, oh no, I'm sure from the indignant posts he's a red blooded hetro with no issues. Just to be sure, AT, bring forward the 8 pints of 'old trouser loosener' and the key to the closet, if you please
Just a routine check you understand.....

Maple, old chap. I fear Monty is well beyond the 8 pint stage and, since I'm only on my 1st Lagavulin, I don't think I'll pluck up the 'dutch' or the notion to go there! 
Monty, one right - AT is not mil, he is now a fully qualified civvy after 15 years in the mob; one wrong: I hate to tell you, but sand can be pink. I only hope your sensibilities aren't upset by being made to fly in anything in desert pink livery.
