As a poster who's been given the odd time out by the mods I can think of only one time I really disagreed. The other times I expected it because I knew I was crossing the line with a particular post (had to be said regardless), and afterward I've written them to say I agreed with their judgement and decision and "no hard feelings". I very much appreciate the value of this site in large measure because the mods do their jobs and keep things from spinning out of control. I also very much appreciate their tolerance with certain threads until things get spinning too fast - in which case their judgement and timing in shutting things down is in my opinion spot on. Even if I'm the cause.

Bravo...and please keep up the good work.

I said “Happy New Year” like 9 times tonight. Might not have happened if I hadn’t read this thread. Thanks IWBD!

There are a number of people on this Forum whose sole purpose is to criticize and attack whatever others write, Regardless of subject, who never have anything positive or constructive to write about anything. It seems to be their purpose in life.

Too bad. AvCanada could have been a nice Forum.

This place has gone downhill. There are a few valiantly trying to keep it normal. BPF, DAR etc. There are others that are killing it. they know who they are....
some folks should go back and look at some posts by say Just Curious and see if you think your contributions are of the same usefulness, temperature , flavour , thoughfulness , and decorum... ...

Hey,youtub vanced
Losing the equivalent of PPRuNe Jet Blast was a blow. Without an outlet for venting, off-topic subjects can hijack threads. Here's to hoping the new rules help maintain focus. Good luck.

I took big breaks from the forum, some as cope and seethe, some as a sign of maturity.
Back on for now to see if things are better. I'll admit I'd been a willing participant in a scrap or two back in the day and wow do I cringe when I read it. This was a place before social media where we were all hitting our stride and learning about what sort of things we'd be willing to say to someone online that we would NEVER say in person, instead of being genuinely helpful and constructive.
There are still people 2 decades later that post as if it's '03 and that's wild to me but we all figure it out eventually I hope.
Here's to keeping it fair and showing some restraint.
