I was with AVSIM from the beginning,a rabid Flight Simulator,Years of experience,and again i ran into your interpretation of the 1St Amendment...Never Did i discuss politics,Religion, only topics and Ideas about Flight Slimming...the HOT TOPIX was the Planes or lack of ,in FLIGHT,and not any attempt to SELL FSX,but rather to show that FLIGHT can be enhanced with Real Planes,of which I portrayed..You can interpret ,as you like,and its INCORRECT to make accusations..But I was Right on the subject,like others are!..I have encountered here ,in the form of Mods,some Pampas &@($*'s...Who in anonymity run this site like IRAN would be proud off..these judges,And Executioners are a discredit to real hanger Talk...Your Sensitivity ,your political correctness,your bias,and yer inexperience , some Mods have, are not reflective to America as we know it! best you turn inwards and sit down and review your high Handed Tactics...No need for Lil Napoleons here! now Once again makes me leave...I was invited to come back,and I did,and after all these years still the paranoia,the fear,that some one has the truth to say..is in your roots... i gotta tell you,at 80 yrs old, I have seen this behavior many times and in many forms....So its yer private Little club,only robots need apply, your rules,.This Anti individual thinking does not exist on Real Flight Sim Sites...We are not talking BOMB THROWERS,but Grown up kids....I'm not angry at you,but at myself,I do not make mistakes.,except for answering your invitation to come back....I find the Little people,the people with closed minds still reside here,The MODS that is,and mabey just one Mod!...what are you afraid of??? the Open mind??. you exhibit the quality's of the closed mind..sad!....So as they say ,Old Pilots never Die,they just BUZZ off...and that I will......AVSIM ceases to be Fun.on its Forums..CIAO!...Vin!

So, let's see, in one paragraph (note, punctuation is your friend, as too is spelling and grammar), you have launched a tirade of abuse which includes calling the moderators and staff of Avsim all of the following:

 

accusatory; pompous asses; paranoid; un-American (note that being American is not a requirement, this is a private forum, not the US Congress, see catch line 'where flight sim enthusiasts from around the world gather' for further reference); judgemental; executioners; biased; inexperienced; little Napoleons; closed-minded; sad; little people; robots; high-handed; anti-individualist; afraid of the truth; a clique, and a discredit to hangar talk (note too, the spelling of hangar, and the fact that the post that you are complaining about was not in the hangar chat forum either, and was indeed off the topic at hand, which was the Piper Cub).

 

And as if all that wasn't enough, you've had a go at Iran too (might also want to note that a group of Iranian flight sim enthusiasts was one of the first to offer support to Tom when Avsim got hacked, and a very nice gesture it was too). I agree that the Iranian Government might be worthy of a dig or two, as indeed is any government, but to tar and feather an entire nation of people because of it is not very nice, it is?

 

And yet you still imagine that the phrase, 'I do not make mistakes' applies to you?

 

Moderating topics is a tough and thankless task, and it is one that is not intended to emulate the First Amendment, it is intended to keep things friendly, within the forum guidelines, and to avoid things straying too far off topic. And if you compare Avsim's forums to many others on the 'net, you will appreciate what an excellent job the Avsim moderators do of it. Do they never make mistakes? No, of course not, occasionally they do as do we all. But do they deserve that laundry list of insults you hurled at them? Most certainly not.
