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.

Actually, that has happened a couple of time that I know of here, but I agree it's not nearly as common here as it is on other forums.Tim Mellon wrote:No-one aggrieved is prevented from coming here to defend themselves.

I disagree. The man just drops off the face of the earth, then others start wondering if the man died or something.Speedy wrote:Just an observation that may not be appropriate--to be honest, I hate the egos and politics that this site has become, while chasing off so many people--but it is what popped into my head when I read Mark's post. If someone were really offended to the point of leaving, they can just not come to WIX. They can de-activate their account.
But standing on a stump, shaking your fist, telling the world that you're leaving because you're offended screams to me just exactly what has happened in this thread: looking for enough attention from others to talk you out of it.
I like the photos that Mark posts. They're all entertaining and fun to talk about. But how many times does one quit, come back, threaten to quit again? If you don't want to be here Mark....just go. It's as simple as that.

This is not a sandbox we are playing in. One man's "slander" is another man's heartfelt belief. Tolerance is what makes difficult discussions possible and often worthwhile.
Intolerance is what leads people to use all those aircraft that are part of your great collection.

I will never be able to thank you enough for the photos you found and posted regarding Pathfinder Pilot Dave Hamilton's C-47 down in Devonshire....you made one 94 yr old vet and one historian very happy.
Stay in touch...
