Giving up Flying thread deleted
Hi PPRuNers,
I moderated the "Giving up flying" thread. Thanks to those who offered genuine replies, yours are appreciated. It would have been rather awkward to leave some of the posts out of context to those deleted. Sorry your efforts were not retained - it happens....
We have all faced difficult time as pilots, and we find our way through. I don't feel a strong need to discuss deliberately not doing what we love, but if someone needs to begin a genuine discussion, they may start a new thread...

He has mental problems in my humble opinion that need dealing with before he goes near a key board again. His departure from the flyer forum was equally attention seeking.

Would he/she have received as many replies as quickly if his/her username 'Sarah' hadn't hinted at him/her being female?
For example: http://www.pprune.org/private-flying...it-flying.html
I really don't think that this forum is in any way as sexist as you suggest.

No need to be defensive, Saab.
If I thought the thread showed sexism I would not have laughed but grumbled.
There are lots of reasons why we should encourage more women to enter/stay in aviation - all of them valid. I would also be quicker to help a lady standing by the side of the road by a broken down car than a bloke - again for perfectly valid reasons.
I had forgotten the other thread - but looking at it now, I'd still say that 'Sarah' got rather more and quicker responses - even after he/she had been 'exposed! Anyway, no matter. Next time I feel a thread makes me smile (like this one, for instance...) , I'll keep it to myself

She was probably a university study into social behavior on internet message boards. Or a good AI

I'm just regular pilot guy, not cunning computer wizard. Perhaps some less than forthright posting was not noticed right off the mark by me.
I like the idea that dedicated posters, who really add value here, feel that their forthright efforts are appreciated in that context. I like the idea that new, and enthusiastic participants can feel confident that what they read is the better "product" we can collectively advance.

This is ridiculous
Sarah (here) is nothing to do with Marjorie (me) on the Flyer forum.
I departed the Flyer forum due to one individual who became rather bitter and childish.
I am a transparent person and despite some people loving the thought that I'm some kind of troll, I've been around these parts for 15 years!
Sadly, there seem to be too many people who spend too much time on keyboards, and not enough time in cockpits....
I left the Flyer forum for one reason, and he is probably unaware of why that is. He's a rather arrogant type who wears lots of hats.
I'm genuinely pleased to no longer be involved. :-)

You reaped what you sowed. Your idea of humour was another's bullying. I don't condone whatever happened to you but the irony of you receiving your own Medicine has a little bit of a sweet taste to it.....
Perhaps in your next incarnation you might want to think about participating in flash mobbing.
