Has been removed. It got out of hand with even racism coming into the fray. We have enough feedback now, and we'll be making a decision and will post it here later.

Tom, I'm glad the thread was useful for you and Avsim but I am disgusted that people decided to use it to make racist remarks. :(

I'm not surprised. That's sadly what our world is coming to.Last week a very respected publisher (Tim O'Reilly) was called a child molester when one of his business partners send a cease and desist letter to an open source group launching a conference with the exact same title as one that O'Reilly organises every year together with that business partner...Sadly some people are completely incapable of civilised discourse and will resort to such things in order to try and bully others into not making any positions counter to their own public.

Well that thread must have went way south overnight. I glad you managed to get the input you were looking for.

I don't know what happened overnight, but I would have deleted that thread based on your comments alone. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black...unbelievable.Doug

> I don't know what happened overnight, but I would have>deleted that thread based on your comments alone. Talk about>the pot calling the kettle black...unbelievable.>>Doug>>What did I say that was so bad. I gave advice that I thought would be useful. I believe there was some nutjob troll in there stirring up the pot but I don't believe my comments were incendiary. I'm sorry if my comments were offensive - I was just trying to be honest.

Jeff - My reply wasn't intended for you. My comments were addressed to Mr. Wenting. My apologies if you mistook it as a slam against you as that was certainly not my intent.Doug

Ah he's just being Jeroen...Somehow we all accept his posts. They are even quite comical if you're in the mood for them. There will never be a shortage of posts from Jeroen he's one of the fastest forum typers I know. Don't know how he gets the time to do all these posts. But anyway Jeroen always repeats the same statements so it won't be long before you've seen them all.

I don't call anyone names, unlike some people around here...And I certainly won't call anyone a racist over some service levels on a website, apparently also unlike some other people..Seems you're still trying to silence people by spreading lies about them...

You and I both know what I'm talking about Jeroen. Too bad the thread isn't available so I could provide exact quotes. Perhaps you don't understand that stereotypical name tags can be highly inflamatory and offensive. I never implied you made a racist comment. What I said was I would have locked the thread just based on what you did say. And what's this about "Seems you're still trying to silence people by spreading lies about them..."? What is that supposed to mean? If you've got some specifics regarding that comment it's time to put up or shut up.Doug

Well I might as well add to this mature argument ....http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v615/Dar...0/razzultra.gif--------------------------------------------------------------------MD83's Dictionary:Dirge: Slow and mournful music e.g. COLDPLAY's musicMaudlin: Effusively or Insincerely emotional e.g. COLDPLAY's musicWhiney: To make a high-pitched, protracted sound, as in pain, fear, supplication, or complaint e.g. COLDPLAY's musicDreary: Boring; dull e.g. COLDPLAY's music

try to read NineteenEightyFour, maybe you'll get the idea then.

Ladies and gentleman, please raise your seat backs to their upright position and firmly affix your tinfoil hats.

A thread about a thread going south appears to have the makings of going in a reverse northerly directions itself! Perhaps we should start a thread about the thread about the thread. :-walksmile :-bang

Indeed, I'm beginning to feel again like I was in Room 101. Perhaps I'll just tell O'Brien to bugger off until I feel better about things. Ah, if only Julia were here. A solitary existence is so difficult to long endure. Methinks it's time for a gin or two at The Chestnut Tree pub whilst I await the release of FSX.Winston
