But something I cannot tolerate or stand by and see happen, no matter if it's my business or not, is to see people use an internet forum (such as WIX) to accuse and slander other people and/or organizations of fraud, corruption and all those other rotten things that people and groups do at times. No matter if deserving or not this isn't the place for it IMHO. I'm sure there's several here who know what I'm talking about and this deal will get me banned (again) but I don't care. It's wrong to use this site as a pissing platform for the public slander of people and organizations.
Some of you wonder if I go too far at times to make a point? You bet I do ... and I'll never change or apologize for it. Some people are not cut out for internet forums and I've always been one of them. But I know the difference between pissing and moaning towards each other about nonsense regarding warbirds and I know tasteless public slander towards people who aren't here to defend themselves. Not cool and not right no matter what.

Mark,
Your vast and wonderful contributions to this site will be sorely missed for sure.
I have the same feelings on the (contrary to forum rules) bashing and vitriol that was posted. I just mostly ignore it, but was forced to reply when some of it was erroneously attributed as coming from me.
I sincerely hope you will reconsider and continue to post as loss of your contributions will be catastrophic for sure.
I would also want to thank you for your sharing of your research and knowledge which I have enjoyed reading and seeing and may I wish all the best for you and yours.
