TD;
Since you quoted one of my posts I take it you are directing your comments towards me? If you disaggree with my POV than perhaps you could comment on it. Having read these forums for some time without commenting I decided to put in my two cents, perhaps I sometimes try not waste too much time getting to the point, but was extremely tired of the Astar bashing that was going on, YOU are right that others read these forums so to continually banter back and forth on types gets my blood hot, my customers don't like it either. You want to compare piasakis to cessna skycars then be my guest but negative comments that are unproffessional jibes on an aircraft that I make my livlihood by will get a reaction. Ya lately have been posting, you don't like it well step up to the plate and say something at the time, your POV is like everyone's elses, it is yours. I will not attempt to say otherwise, nor will attack you personnally because of it.
You speak of the direction this forum has taken as of late, I see a few more different people on it, perhaps they speak there opinions differently then you(or I). If you only want to have certain people replying to topics in a certain manner, I am afraid that as the website gets more popular then there will be more and more people posting on it, so if I leave, there will be another egotist to take my place, if you want to not hire me, or have my customers call, reminds me of a joke that is rather rude about god and a helicopter pilot. As was mentioned by another not too long ago that the down side of these forums is the lack of ability to judge the inflection of the voice behind what is printed. When I read someones post I try put it into my own voice and another's.
