I don't know if anything in this thread constitutes "bashing". It is a part of this sport and it something we all need to be aware of. A new flyer might not have thought to be keeping an eye on those that need it. I fly at a field that is almost all retirees and we know who needs a little help. It's not bashing it's just part of the deal. If this were a car chat board and we wrote about our experience with the Ford Pinto would that be Pinto bashing? There are threads about newbies but I've never seen anyone get called down for newbie bashing. I know I'll get older and my eyesight and reflexes will go I just hope there will be people kind enough to help me stand on the line and continue to fly as well as people brave enough to tell me that my time has come and I shouldn't put a person or the club in jeopardy.
NOTE - This should be in the "God bless the arf builder thread". I don't know what it's doing out her by itself.
