What's happened to Genghis the Engineer? Two

Great to read CleeIB's post saying that Genghis the Engineer is welcomed back as a valued member.

Is Genghis our moderator once again, or just an ordinary member like the rest of us?

I really hope he's being welcomed back as our moderator.

Good morning ladies and gentlemen.


I've received a very polite and sincere (and unsolicited, by me at-least) apology from Internet Brands for the way I was treated last year - I think that everybody who cares knows as much as they want to about that.

I am re-instated as an ordinary member of PPrune, which will do for now. I've expressed a willingness to be re-instated as a moderator if I'm useful, but that seems to be subject for the future and I'm happy to sit back and see what happens.

I've not been sworn to secrecy about anything which has happened, but I am rather fed up of the whole business and would rather just talk about flying machines. I also won't be able to send or receive PMs for the moment - nothing clandestine about that, just that I used to have a mods size inbox, and now I only have a "normal members" size inbox so need to find the time to delete about a thousand old PMs before it gets small enough to send and receive again. So if anybody wants to say hello directly - email or Flyer work.

It's good to be back.

Genghis,

I dunno what's been going on ('cos I had to take my eye off the ball) but, whatever, I am pleased that you are back, Freedom of Speech and all that.

We all know who the robust contributors are...or, at least, should do...

Very glad to hear it, and no more than you deserve.

Whilst individually we ordinary PPRuNe members certainly weren't affected to the same degree as GtE, I can't help but think that a more general apology (even if an explanation is not possible) might also be in order.

Well, I'm no Einstein, but piece together Ghengis's banishment to "the other side", the announcement, recently by "Flyblu" and the rest of the jigsaw falls into place.

It all gave me an incentive to find another Aviation Forum to browse, which I otherwise would not have likely found.
Ghengis, glad to see you back here as well...though I'll continue lurking over there as well.

I've got to quite like certain aspects of "the other side", and a couple of other forums seem to have sprung up elsewhere of late as well that I've occasionally stuck my head around the door of.


But thanks everybody for the welcome back - it's been a rather odd period, marked by some unpleasantness, but I was never in any doubt that the majority of fellow Ppruners were on my side, and I'm very glad to be back in the fold.
