I would like to say we are only human, and until the last day or so, things were relatively calm, and while we tried to find the truth, which is something we as mods and admin, should do for all members, even if suspicions of being a troll are making its ugly face known.
T here are no forums that are immune to these kind of problems, and luckily SIMviation has been the most easy going problem free forum that I have had the pleasure of being a member of. There are many people that have a wealth of information that they readily lend to those in need and are always extending a welcomed hand for those new to the site. So many times I have gone to a forum that has a sopecific subject and posted a "hello" type of thread with bits and pieces of in need of help, only to be ignored completely. I never did get that hereand since day one, I have met many many virtual friends with a similar passion in the area of flight simming. This site is one of a kind.
Roger, I sent you a message that I hope you get the chance to read. My neglecting to say anything to the troll about what she said about you and anyone else she mentioned is my own fault and i accept that, and ask forgiveness, for you like me are human. I had a lot going on that evening, and just so happened to check the forums, only to find a boiling cauldron.
To everyone, that visits here, rest assured we were doing everything we could to ge to the bottom of what was going on. Yes there were probably some things we could have done better, but as a whole, with what resources we had, and the fact that we could not be face to face across the globe to discuss everything before everything broke loose, I personally think that we did the job we thought was best, unfortunately before we could come up with a decision, and have pete give the go ahead, things went south, and from what Dave has said, they went south quickly.
I will say this, it has been a learning experience for me, and I am sure just about everyone involved be it a moderator or a valuable member of the community as well.
