New Year resolutions for the historic forum:
1) Those who continue to peddle their vendettas, what ever these may be. Please stop. Enough is enough. Time to move on? Locked horns with someone? Perhaps it is time to turn the other cheek.
2) No member should be under the impression that this is just a small forum that only a few people view. Your words here are viewed here by far more people than some of you would ever give credit for or comprehend. This forum does not operate in a bubble safe from the technicalities and legalities of life. Watch what you post. Don’t make allegations about individuals or companies without the hard proof to back these allegations up.
3) When posting in anger, please think hard before posting. It is all too easy to hammer out an angry response to someone (been there done that!) but please consider your response. Reasoned arguments and hard facts are always better than abuse and garbled throw backs.
4) Do please make use of the search function. However, please be kind to new members who are perhaps not as familiar with this function. If a new member starts a thread which is similar to a previous one, feel free to post a link to the original thread/s, or introduce them nicely to the search function. We were all new here once.
5) Forum members – who are we? We come from all walks of life, with different areas of expertise and knowledge. For some aviation is their life, for others it is a hobby. It does not matter who you are, what you do, or what your level of interest/knowledge is, it is all good. Please continue to share with each other, and to learn from each other. Please be tolerant of views that are different to yours, and don’t shoot someone down just because they have a different opinion to yours.
6) One personal pet peeve of mine – the gnashing and wailing of teeth from those who dislike the paint scheme someone gives their aircraft. If you came around to my house and told me you did not like the way I had decorated the place, and then proceeded to tell me how I should have done it, then believe me, I would kick you out the front door so hard you would be wondering what hit you :diablo: So what if the paint scheme is not 100% authentic, is it your aircraft? Yes, then do something about it if you wish to. No? Try zipping it. No wonder some owners are so secretive about their aircraft given the way some people behave over a colour scheme.
Just some thoughts 🙂
