June 11, 20214 yr I usually ignore the threads that seem destined to degenerate into the usual rubbish and name-calling after a few pages, but I was feeling like a bit of light relief just now and went to look at one and boom! It got closed while I was thinking about it! I guess God, or more accurately - Mod, is working in mysterious ways to preserve my better nature and stop me letting go with any (probably) regretable replies. Before I moved over here from the Orbx forum, I was frequently seeing mods comments there along the lines of "if you want to behave like that there are other forums where you can do that" (is it possible to type sniffily?) but now I'm here I quite enjoy occasionally watching people get all het up about some of this stuff. It generates lovely mental images of medieval theorists getting into a rage on a 14th century version of Twitter - endless arguments, with of course a vast amount of surety, about those angels on the pinhead and the relative authenticity of the different flight models of the average witch. I like it here! (but there is some use of the ignore facility.

June 11, 20214 yr I was actually hoping that I might be proven wrong, and that that one would survive. And actually, for a while there it looked like it was holding its own and had reached a point of stability And then in the last few pages... BOOM! We are all connected..... To each other, biologically...... To the Earth, chemically...... To the rest of the Universe atomically.

June 12, 20214 yr 1 hour ago, overspeed3 said: Don't know who first said it but this might be sound advice: "I never discuss religion or politics" What is interesting in these sorry threads is the unholy (speaking of religion) alliance of a few MFSers driveling about the near end of XP (and P3D) and a few XPers driveling about the superiority of their guru's baby as ever before. They feed each other making a cacophony of two broken records each trying to play louder than the other. You can 'ignore' them of course but the thread goes south all the same.

June 12, 20214 yr It happens when people make incorrect or false claims about a product. Then they get corrected and the arguing ensues. "Society has become so fake that the truth actually bothers people".

June 15, 20214 yr Andy, I was banned for life, apparently, from the Orbx fourm for something I said several years ago. I still don't what it was that got under their skin. Not only was I banned, but they removed the Hangar Talk forum, or whatever it was called, where we could discuss anything we liked. I have also been warned by the Mods and eve had posts removed. But all in all it's a good place to have fun. Welcome to endless arguments of how many angels can dance on the head of a pin. Noel Edited June 15, 20214 yr by birdguy The tires are worn. The shocks are shot. The steering is wobbly. But the engine still runs fine.
