I am sick of people asking GENUINE QUESTIONS and you lot are making a total mockery of them.This seriously has to stop, this is the internet, you are not big, you are not strong.EVERYONE IS EQUAL.What kind of communuity is this?

If everyone is equal, then how come you have appointed yourself as the one to tell people what they must, or must not stop? That doesn't seem very equal to me, or are you more equal than everyone else? Neither, for that matter, does the sweeping generalisation that 'us lot' are making a mockery of things.I'm forced to assume you are referring to people asking questions about the hacking attack on AVSIM, matters relating to it, and what is happening with regard to it, since you were not very specific about what exactly it was we were commanded by you to stop doing. But if that is indeed what we are apparently making a total mockery of, then it should also be apparent to any and all that something as serious as those matters, needs to be treated in a serious manner. Which means not tipping people off who may possibly be under investigation for criminal proceedings, nor compromising any possible legal action, by publicising information pertaining to any such proceedings. And especially not by announcing matters to all and sundry on an internet forum that is about flight simming.I don't know for sure whether such an ongoing criminal investigation is the case, but it seems a reasonable assumption. Yet even if that is so, then it has absolutely nothing to do with Joe Public, and they have no 'right' to know about it, merely curiosity. I'm curious too, as anyone would be, but I'm a member of Joe Public too, and so I don't need to know about it either, nor do I have any right to know about it. The only one with that right is Tom, the owner of AVSIM.Oh, and a hello might have been nice, considering that was your first post on the forum. That's what kind of community it is.Al

What the heck are you talking about? For your first post here, you sure have started out with a bang. Sure hope you don't end up departing in the same manner. :(

We are not all equal. We are guests on a privately owned and operated site and accept its rules and conventions if we want to stay - just as we do when we visit other people.If you came into my house and spoke as you did here you'd have been out at once. Think yourself lucky.

HA HA HA HA! (LOL doesn't suffice) I thought the SAME THING, Tom. I literally laughed out loud when I read the original post.

And that attitude entirely, is what I am talking about.You've just prooved my point, thanks :)

If that attitude is entirely what you are talking about, then you've only got yourself to blame for that, by starting a thread which was only ever going to invite such replies.If you have a genuine complaint which you feel needs to be addressed, put it in writing which clearly states what the issue is rather than typing 'this has got to stop' or things of that nature, in caps, with no reference to exactly what you are referring to. You won't get very far with such a belligerent approach, and as you've seen, it is going to attract ridicule. That's the only point it proves.Al

he has a right to his opinion, as all of us do. But, for now, this thread is becoming a troll fest. Locking.
