Um , guys , a bit of mutual tolerance would be most welcome right around now .....

Remember RC Ken ? Ken Issacs , the guy who used to moderate the AMA forum here ? How long to you think he would have tolerated the back & fourth aimed at each other rather than aimed at each other's viewpoints ? The people of this board , ALL of the people , make great points and present their sides well , right up till the point of where "agree to disagree" should be reached , and then BAM ! , it goes off the rails with "Southern Posteriors" and "overly aggressive jerks" .

I think both of you are WAY better at presenting your points than to have to resort to that type of opponent bashing

Side thought ; Anyone wonder if the FAA's tack may be to propose the most severe regulations they could come up with , knowing that they will be ratcheted back a little in their final form , giving the RC hobbyists a reason to be happy that things aren't as bad as they could have been ?
