Seeing as my name has been dragged into this thread, I will state my view.

It is very simple, I have held the view that WE have managed to maintain a level of decorum and sevility which is unusual in such a forum.

Recent events have blown that theory out of the water. We have commercial sponsors and their commercial interests have recently become plain.

For my part this forum is no longer what it was. Every time I post now I consider how the post will sit with our hosts.

I am not saying that there is anything wrong with this, simply that it is not what I expected from this forum.

My view is that InsideFlyer was able to gain some insight from this forum, an insight which was as a result of sensible mature discussion - with a little bit of friendly humour - I am very dissapointed that censorship has recently become apparent.

I think it is time for me to consider if I need to find an alternative forum, where I do not feel concerned about voicing my opinions.
