Thanks again for fixing my F-3 that weekend when I fell upon you in Decci.

"Bullying" is such an overused word nowadays.
Criticising someone for their egregious behaviour until they change it or sod off is not bullying in my book.
It's the basic mechanism by which society maintains civilisation.

MPN: 1. Asthma. So that's endex for aircrew, isn't it?
If you suffer from asthma or have done in the past, you cannot be considered for flying branches in the RAF.

Welcome home 31. Hope you get some time off before the next sandy adventure begins.

Spineless belle**s criticising someone who is genuinely interested in what we do, give the chap a break. Typical of the mentality of people who will chirp off on this forum but wouldn't say boo to a goose in the mess bar. Just weak...

If I was on 31 Sqdn I'd be really, really hacked off that, a 'welcome home' from operational duty, by whoever it was, was hijacked by a bunch of stuffed shirts
who used it to display their personal disapproval of the guy who wrote it. That is deeply disrespectful to the guys and gals who have just been laying their lives on the line
Shameful and in-excusable!

Leon J, MPN11, Tourist me Salad Dodger. I've taken the liberty of reporting you to the moderators for bullying.
None of your posts can be referred to as banter. MPN11, you laid out your credentials as an ex ATCO. I suggest that you consider acting like the adult you claim to be. Your opening post was horrendous, Ill thought out and quite malicious.
Leon J, your posts are normally excellent reading however, on this thread, I'm afraid you've been nothing short of a disgrace.
The other two posters were equally out of order.
Bullying, plain and simple. I think you have all forgotten that young people can and will post on this forum, none of whom can be excepted to have the experience of other forum members.
Mods - why is this thread still active?
T93 - keep your head down and don't be put off by the minority. There are people on here who clearly believe that they have an inherent right to dictate what is posted on here.

Pure Pursuit ... Thank you for your honesty in revealing your RBP. I am completely content with whatever decision the Moderators make on my comments.
They were my personal views, of course, which are normally accepted in debate ... whether others agree is a matter for the individual reader.

About 12 years ago, a perhaps rather naïve young lady came to PPRuNe - she then joined the RAF. Some of her innocent questions elicited some very unpleasant and hectoring responses.
Nevertheless, to those of us who gave her the answers to the questions she'd posed without having any dubious intentions, she was very grateful and sent some very kind PMs.
Since then she served in Iraq as a civilian employee after GW2, then joined 'another organisation', married and subsequently had 2 children. Although we've never met, I'm told that I've acquired the title of 'e-uncle'.
So perhaps those who have no time for seemingly naïve questions should simply go elsewhere. Used sensibly and with courtesy, PPRuNe can be a great help to those with less 'hours under their belts' than some of us. But it can also provide a platform for those who prefer to snipe with vitriolic comment from behind the shield of anonymity. I just hope that the latter are in the minority.

As a retired wg cdr, I will take the hit, BEagle
This Typhoon97 is all over the place like a rash, talking scribble and saying nothing [or chipping in inappropriately]. It's nothing to do with being supportive to 'exuberant youth' ... it is just bandwidth clutter from a proto-pilot with not the faintest chance of making the cut.
If PPRuNe had the facility to block posters, I would use it, but I haven't found the option.
Sorry if I'm seeming harsh, but this person is just talking gibberish and does't have the faintest idea of what PPRuNe is about. I have again RBP'd Typhoon97.

RBP = Report Bad Post ... the traffic signal in the bottom left corner.

Report away, either way it won't change my opinion and though I cannot see how my 2 posts in this thread can be seen as a "disgrace"..
que sera sera

I have no need / will / right to comment on the sentiment expressed to T93 by others, their opinion is just that.
As for my own, well the chap has been given quite a lot of leeway, quite a bit of guidance and some hard advice; yet his banal posts have spread like a tidal-wave over the forum. Having not heeded any advice from those he wishes to serve with on a forum not designed for wannabes he has upset the flow. I am heartened that so many have been so patient with him but how far does this go?
The Mil Aircrew Forum is not held under a lock like some other sub-forums, nor would I wish it to be come so, but it cannot be allowed to drown under wannabes either. T93 posts have had an unusually corrosive effect and seems completely unfazed or embarrassed by this. Most of us self-moderate but this chap has yet to develop this ability and he is unable to recognise a hint in any shape or form.

I haven't criticised T93 in this thread yet I do agree with some of the comments about his, err, enthusiasm. I did have a slight go at him (and felt a little bad) over his FOI request regarding medal recognition for the present Op in Iraq; not because the FOI directly affected me, but I was losing my only rest day in dealing with an on-going enquiry that is working to similar FOI deadlines, principally because of other curious (but uninvolved) minds.
At best T93's post can be a little annoying; other times he seems pretty genuine and interested in what the RAF does. Hopefully, if he's reading this thread he'll realise where the lines to cross are. Thank God, we haven't descended anywhere near the level that ARRSE dropped to; I no longer contribute there because of this.

As with anyone else, you can choose to switch off T93 or just plain ignore him if you don't care for what he says. As for the bandwidth issue, it's being clogged far more by the discussion of T93's posts than by the posts themselves. And I guess I'm guilty of adding to that!
However, anyone that makes a post to welcome home what has ALWAYS been the Premier Tornado squadron can't be all that bad, in my opinion.
(One more thing; it's the Military AVIATION forum...)
