This is not the only reason people are mad, but for some it is a big reason. Any take on this Randy?
Are you only here for certs?

I know that I may (what am I saying I WILL) get some flak for this but,as a senior member who has not posted on this forumn since Sep 17, 2002, don't you think that some things are better left unsaid.
Most members are trying and planning to put a closure to this whole matter and now you have decided to butt in (for what sake I don't understand) to put down two new members. One of them is still trying to come into terms ( put that on his youth) with how he should communicate in a PC way without offending the whole forum and the other one is just beating back ( call it his inexperience) an argument. So why this interest of a one liner ( they are not zinggers) all of a sudden?
Call it quit , dude!

Don't blame him, dodo. He can resist everything except temptation and sees every comment as disloyalty to RP. That RP has repeatedly defended members' rights to voice their opinions is the ironic part.

again.You guys are doing a great job of ensuring that the only opinions welcome are the ones you fully agree with ("No mods", "let us set our own rules", "don't really care about the rest of FT", "leave us alone"). Putting me and anyone else down that isn't a "full member of the insular community is working wonders and truly represents the spirit of FT Community that is so evident elsewhere on the board..
Good thing I've got some perspective. As an American that's lived in Canada for more than 7 years, I know that Canada is for the most part a welcoming country that values all opinions. Imagine if I didn't fly AC, had not lived in Canada, or wasn't a wasn't a "senior member"!

I'm happy to let this thread get back on track. Those "junior members" should realize that there's more to this site than the AC forum and AC cert swapping. Please, spend some time outside of the AC forum and get to know the rest of FT. There's a lot of great info out there, you'll benefit from it.
