You know, Horrace, I once found your posts quite interesting. At times, your posts were well thought out. And even if I didn't always agree with you I had respect for your passion about RC and the AMA.
But, your recent knee-jerk reaction and post in the [link=http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/AMA_members_set_plane_on_fire_risking_injury/m_3012173/tm.htm]burning plane thread[/link] have apparently shown your true colors.

You're talking "banishment!" and "punishment" for an incident you know nothing about? You glibly swallow the erroneous and inaccurate claims from one anonymous person and conclude that the AMA should be banishing and punishing people? You even think the AMA should HAVE the power to "punish" people?
Yeah, it looks like you do. And apparently you'd like to be the one with the big stick to do it.
The last place I want to see you is on the EC.
Don't think I'd nominate you for Dog-Catcher either.
