I think this is a better forum, where the users are far more
mature and professional, most displaying good ethics
and etiquette.
I last took part in the “Missiles and Munitions” subforum of
Modern Military Aviation where some of the users can best
be described at downright childish, immature, cynical, sarcastic
and pathetic, not to mention very poor literacy in English.
I was very shocked indeed to find out that one of those who
attacked me was actually a moderator ! This is the first time
I have come across in any forum of any kind that the moderator
has behaved in such a repugnant and biased way. And he was
the one who accused me of biasness rather – evidently he was an
American who could not stand people from other countries
giving valid opinions of the weaknesses of some of their air-to-air
missile systems – he could not possibly believe that their weapons
were inferior to those from other countries, particularly Russia.
I’ve actually sent a complaint to the management of Key Publishing
Ltd for allowing such behaviour by their moderators (even a
moderator of the forum of an x-rated website does not behave
this way) – and Key Publishing is a very professional international
aviation magazine publisher of high repute and standards.
I also happened to communicate with Carlo Kopp, a lecturer in
Monash University and very well-informed authority on air
defence and electronic warfare. He mentioned that he was well
aware that his articles and write-ups had been attacked by the
same “extremists” mentioned above.
I think I shall stick to Historic Aviation in future, when I have
time to take part.
It’s posts like these that make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside
