I will say based on recent observations is that all of the AMA related topics have settled into a pattern of trench warfare with both sides digging in deeper and deeper. Absolutely none of this good for the hobby in any way and I am beginning to question what the real motivations are all around
If you care to find the truth, simply go back and read any thread with an truly objective frame of mind. One “side” presents facts that support their narrative. The other “side” uses whatever means necessary (usually name-calling or moderation) to deflect from their agenda when it is debunked with facts and reality.
one side formulates their opinions based on facts and reality, the other side has opinions based on what suits them, then uses whatever means necessary to justify them. You know, cart before the horse, versus the other way around.
One of my pet peeves is dishonesty. When I spot a dishonest person spouting misinformation solely for their personal gain, I call it out. Unfortunately, in todays’ culture, I frequently get banned, ostracized and labeled petty for doing so. I’m 100% secure with who I am and do not base my value as a person on my toy airplane hobby, so it doesn’t faze me, except for the fact that society has devolved to the point of simply cancelling those who aren’t the same as you. And we wonder why racism still exists. Maybe more folks should look themselves in the eyes each morning and take a good, honest personal inventory.
