R/C and terrorists thread?
I allowed the last post. I will share some information as to why, but I do not want to go into great detail because I do not want to start another argument like the one that caused the first thread to be closed.
I closed the thread at 9:26pm central, on April 10. I got off line shortly after that. HiSpeedLoPass sent me a PM at 10:30 that evening expressing his desire for the entire thread to be deleted or for your replies to be posted as they read prior to your editing them. I got the PM either later that night or the next morning, but by that time HiSpeedLoPass was off line.
I responded to his PM and informed him that I had no way of retrieving your unedited replies and that I did not think deleting the entire thread was appropriate. I offered to open the thread for a short time for him to reply. He agreed and submitted what he was going to post to me in a PM. I did not see a problem with what he intended to post. It was the evening of the 11th when HiSpeedLoPass and I were both on-line at the same time. I opened the thread, he made his post and I closed it again.
I was not taking his side, I was attempting to get everyone to move on beyond the argument and return to using RCU as it is intended - to talk about RC. If you feel that I gave him an unfair advantage by allowing this, I apologize. Both sides of the thread were passionate and it is doubtful that any amount of additional posts to the thread will result in changed opinions. Sometimes there is no clear correct answer to a problem. I did what I felt was best with no ill intent.
I ask that you accept my apology and let's get back to the fun of talking about our hobby/sport.
