Hey Guys, has anybody seen all the great forums that Pete has given us here.  :o

I can't believe it!
They are so informative!!

I came here looking for an answer about flight simulator and what a site!!
Everything from repainting to tweaking & designing and that's just the tip of the iceberg! He has also has given us forums to ask questions about all the flight simulator stuff. I can't believe all the different forums!! He has even given us a place to sit back and relax and just talk called the Caf

the best way i can think of putting it. Its not what people want, its what people think is best for the masses. The majority agree that its not a good idea to discuss politics here, just to keep this place as friendly as it always has been. That will never be changed no matter how much one or two people may want it to be.

& Mistral -  I find it hard to believe your attitude when you very recently had a run in with Hype (aka Scott/Hyperion/Scottler) one of our older members after which he left.


I mean .........         !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just how much convincing do you need?  

As the guys have said - let it rest. It won't happen.

Some of my good freinds have vastly different political views and religeous beliefs, but we get along just fine. We even discuss those subjects occasionally, because we know eachother very well, and we know how to do this without offending eachother. This is in one-on-one conversation, not a public forum. These sorts of discussions are a bad idea here because you can only know someone so well via the internet, and you never know who will read your posting. What some people can discuss openly, and calmly might cause someone else to become quite angery, and vice-versa. So,  I feel that the current rule is the way to go- don't even allow such conversations to develope.

My 'run in' though, was nothing to do with politics or religion was it, it was to do with him being incredibly imature and arrogent, and i short, having a go at my parents?!

What is the official definition of politics? A topic which people may voice some opinion upon, because from what i can see thats this sites definition of it.
Sorry to sound like im having ago Pete, this is your site and i know it must be really annoying and insulting to have 'my sort' on your turf, making a fuss over something that you have been incredibly generous with, and done an awesome job. Im really not trying to critisize, i just think that people enjoy discussing Politics, and other similarly controversial l issues.

Perhaps you could consider a new poll to find out the opinion of the masses? At the same time its your site, so you make the rules. So this is going to be the last i say upon the matter.

Cheers, Mike
