I looked at the linked thread , and Franklin himself has denied taking any money whatsoever for his writings from the commercial drone industry . Just as I have to take you and your posts at face value , Franklin is also entitled to that same consideration . No financial motivation = no "Ulterior Motive" from where I sit , as you allege he has by pointing out his association with commercial drone interests .
The question of his financial interest has been raised , and answered by the accused himself in what I believe to be a satisfactory manner . Any other talk of his supposed "financial interests" , without concrete proof , is nothing short of slander in my book and is certainly not acceptable per the RCU rules on "personal attacks" , nor a particularly gentlemanly way to treat a fellow AMA member .
