Hey moderators

[dmspilot00]

dmspilot00, the question is, why do you care? Obviously you are spending a lot of time and effort contributing to a non-aviation related post here, to attempt to get everyone else to stop posting non-aviation related posts.

Lighten up

The thread was started by someone else, seconded by several people, and was already an active discussion with 15 posts before I entered a short discussion with Timebuilder about the popularity of a now-deleted thread.

This thread is not off topic, it has to do with the forum itself!

Show me where on this thread I attempted "to get everyone else to stop posting non-aviation related posts." I didn't. Other people did. You are confused.

Yea - second the above comment. What's the deal?! You put on the board police hat, but you get your feathers ruffled when some one pushes back?! What the heck does it matter to you if there are off-topic posts on *this* board? You send me a PM and ask why I'm singling you out?!? You're the one taking on the issue it seems with 6 posts on the issue in this thread alone.

BTW, what happened to your poll? you delete it? gonna rate this one low, just to show it's not a popular topic!

Personally, posts about FAR's, unions, stall practice methods, crash pads and who's hiring/not hiring do almost nothing for me. But I'm not complaining. I just skip those topics!! Now, if someone miss identified or lured me into a thread with a misleading subject, I'd get a little irritated. but it rarely, if ever, happens.

Happy flying!!

There is a lot of BS that is posted on here lately, about topics that have to relivence to aviation (Jason vs Freddy Kruger, etc).

What? 6? I made a grand total of THREE (3) posts, and they were all directed at Timebuilder, in a debate that is now over as far as I'm concerned. Then you and FlyChicaga made posts about me which I had to respond to.

I didn't know that my three-post-short debate with Timebuilder about the meaning of the word "popular" meant that I was acting like the board police.

Yes, I deleted the poll, because no one appreciated it and I no longer see the point. No I didn't delete it because I didn't like the results, I believe around 64% said they didn't mind the off-topic posts.

I "objected" to a total of TWO (2) threads on this site, both a MONTH ago, so I'd hardly consider that as acting like board police either. I haven't even mentioned it until someone else started this thread.

I didn't put on any type of board police hat as you say, so of course I'm going to "get my feathers ruffled" when someone pushes back because I did not do any pushing in the first place.

It's nice to know that every mistake I make here will not only be not forgotten but exagerrated and blown out of proportion. Give it a rest! (Don't say the same thing to me, as I had said all I had to say and was ready to give this topic "a rest" until people started attacking me).

If you don't like it, don't read it!

BBQ, Pizza & Beer, Grammar, Thread Ratings, (Somewhere in there I was glad to notice Fly Chicaga is back to COOL avatars), And even a discussion about whether this thread is offf topic.


Just a few of the things that have NOTHING WHATSOEVER to do with AVIATION that have been discussed on this thread.

I think we need a new forum.

 

[enigma]

To all of you who don't want to see anything other than subjects akin to "how to fly the perfect final approach".........There are numerous other forums that are just begging for participation. Go there and post away.

As I stated earlier, in the deleted threat I guess, I must assume that this forum is a commercial venture and that it needs viewers/participants/readers/visitors in order to succeed. If you succeed in removing all the threads that are slightly off topic, you will have another one of those forums that begs for participation. Yet another site with nothing new, that ultimately falls off your radar screen because it's BORING. Then the webmaster will either start asking for payment or just cut off access to anyone who is not a paying member.

As long as the moderators moderate in such a way as to remove material that is against the rules, like vulgarity, but leave thought alone, I'll keep coming back.

enigma

BTW, PPrune is way to "international" for me. I don't really care about the gripes about, or intricacies of, aviation in Switzerland, etc.

 

[WrightAvia]

I think it's funny that the people that are protesting certain topics of conversation on this board, have yet come up with anything else better to discuss but complaining about other people's posts.

If there is a division of the general boad, then everyone will go to that end of the board to post and then three guys will be discussing the merits of control cable vs push tubes as control surface actuators for FAR 23 airplanes on this end of the board....so be it.

 

[BoDEAN]

I just don't understand how a "Powerball post" relates to anything aviation (What this General forum is for..aviation)......

Maybe I missed something?? I'll go back and re-rate and re-read the powerball post and see if it has anything to do with what this website is based on.

I posted that, I wanted to know if anyone knew the best airport to land at, and where a good place to get the tickets was.

Either an airport where we can buy them onsite, or one that offers a crew car to go get them nearby.

That is why it is aviation related. Besides, we're flying to another state to go get them, how many people do that?

Gizbug, your auto signature invites me to look at a website: www.sammyhagar.net.

You are off topic. Please discontinue your posts here, they are distracting me from exciting things like limitations on maximum outside air temperature.

Because some readers of these threads can't always tell when I am being sarcastic, this has been sarcasm. The object of my post is to tell gizbug that even while he is saying that he only wants to see aviation related posts here his VERY OWN AUTOSIGNATURE entreats us all to see a music website. Does anyone ELSE see the irony?

Your suggestion has been noted..........

WHirlwind,

I noticed you changed your Avitar,

Who is the girl on your Avitar? WOW is all I can say.

[bigD]

WOW is all I can say.

How dare you talk about my future wife like that!

 

[Whirlwind]

WHirlwind,

Ahh yes, wow is about what I said too.

Actually, she's just a girl I wanted to sleep with, but alas, I didn't. Oh well, you win some, you lose some...

 

[SDdriver]

Dude,

Shouldn't have let that one get away. Dang wheew..Got anymore pics of her??

She is pretty hot. Oh well, you are right you win some and lose some.

Besides, as someone once said, that's like telling someone "if you don't like polluted air, don't breathe it."

dms, that's just about the worst analogy I have ever heard in my life.

1) No one is forcing you to open a thread you don't want to read.

2) No one is forcing you to listen to anyone else's opinion - if you don't like a thread or a post, skip over it.

3) No one is restricting YOUR freedom to listen or not to listen - or for that matter to opine.

4) (AND THIS IS THE BIG ONE) YOU are squelching views and subjects that do no please you.

IN OTHER PLACES YOUR POINT OF VIEW WOULD BE CALLED CENSORSHIP.

Re: I'll make one

Ok, I'l add one this weekend.......how about this for the description:

Political Forum..." for those who don't seem to understand that the "General Aviation forums" means general aviation discussions only.

It seems you have all lost sight of the initial reason this thread was initiated.
So what happen to the new Hanger that was suppose to start last weekend??

 

[dmspilot00]

TXCAP, nothing like responding to several-day-old posts to try to start an argument.

YOU are squelching views and subjects that do no please you.

Please show me how, where, and on what threads I am doing this. I'd really like to know, as evidently there must be some phantom-posts supposedly by me all over this forum that I'm not aware of.

I already admitted to doing it a whopping, oh my god, two times, both a month ago, and I stopped when others disagreed with me (I didn't think they would), but your verb indicates present tense. So, show me where I am "squelching views and subjects that do no (sic) please" me!
