Yes, and we all notice how when asked to back up his accusations Astro resorts to his usual insults. He proceeds to accuse me of “ Revenge “ LOL, isn’t that the whole basis of Franklin’s years of anti AMA threads? Why do you think Franklin is so interested in my soaring club? Talk about blind devotion.

I truly do wish I had a "reset" button for the relationships that have been established here, and yes indeed this goes to all sides including some of my past behavior here. Over the past number of months I really have done my level best to "turn over a new leaf" and see everyone here as fellow model aviators who have personalities and concerns that come from different places, beliefs, and opinions. I will state here flatly and for the record that I disapprove of all forms of personal insult including "Narcissistic, delusional, logical fallacies and 5 digit nobility" , especially since I myself happen to be in this hobby long enough to be the holder of a 5 digit AMA number and certainly do not consider any of my actions here as rising to the level of nobility
. I don't know if anyone has noticed but it's been months since I've referred to Denis as "The Worm" and likewise he hasn't thrown any jabs directly at me either (Since I don't consider my self anyone's "Minion" I don't take his use of that personally, I consider myself free to challenge as well as to agree with any of Franklin's posts that I see fit to, as in this very thread where I do not believe the privacy/overflight connection is of concern since the no overflight policy is fairly well entrenched already, at least at the club I belong to). Now, If I had my way, to be King for a day, I'd decree that ALL of the past animosities be left behind, "Burying the hatchet" as it were (And no, NOT burying it in the backs of each other's skulls
) and everyone starts from new so that any point of discussion has to stand on it's own merits without the topic being degraded by the use of personal insults in an ill fated attempt to bolster one's view over another's. I am actually of the belief that if this were in person, if we were all at a nice flying field somewhere, that we would all be far friendlier to one another than what's portrayed in these on line discussions, and that this cordiality has to start somewhere. So, I have made it start with me because I believe our hobby and our hobby's premier organization deserves a far better public display than what's gone on here in this forum. Guys, let's never forget that we aren't the only ones who read here, I'm sure this forum comes up a lot in the searches of people newly interested in our hobby, so please ask yourselves, is this really the way we want to present ourselves and our hobby to those interested parties?
Sorry for getting a bit long winded here, but I really wanted to lay out my feelings/opinion on how the interaction here has become so toxic...........

Init, thank you for that post. I 100% agree in what you would like to see happen here. If you recall I took a good 8 months off from posting in this forum in hopes that things would change. It seems some here just thrive off the conflict, I suppose some could have the same perception of me, except maybe the fact that was capable of walking away for that amount of time. We should all be able to state our opinions without the discord, unfortunately the tone of breaking others down in order to minimize their opinion/experience was established years ago by Franklin. Others follow suit and this only leads people like myself to take a defensive posture. Like I told HJ yesterday that I had noticed a positive change in the way he interacted with me and I adjusted to him accordingly. I hope that you have noticed that as well. I feel that we all have something to contribute here.

In some cases an unnatural dislike may preclude any form of peace making and the behavior will continue unabated.

What I'd love to see from this point forward would be for us all to admit to ourselves that we have reacted badly in the past (myself included) , to unilaterally let go of any past animosities, and to respect ourselves and our hobby enough to not allow such interactions in the future. I'm truly willing to abide by the mutual respect ethos, and I believe everyone here are devoted enough in our hobby to maintain that respect.
If any one of our fellow posters here are ever in eastern Massachusetts, I welcome you to contact me to fly as my guest at the club I belong to

Why do you need to know my AMA number, especially given that even AMA doesn't require it to do a club search?
All I'm trying to do is verify what you are telling all of us. You posted a flying site in St. Paul OR, mentioned a lot of details about what happens there, how often, and specific rules. Yet when I search for clubs in St. Paul OR, I find none. And of the clubs nearby, none of them show this location as a flying site. As of now, all we know is a picture and one person's statement about what happens / has happened there. No way to independently verify.

Last time I traveled from Detroit to the east coast with the camper and toy box with my planes. Most of the contact info including an address were the contact persons house address not the field itself. I had to contact someone and make arrangements to meet.

Franklin I believe in one of your previous posts regarding someone posting your AMA number you stated as of the 31st of this month it would be irrelevant anyways care to elaborate?

Keep in mind that although I may have misspoken or been wrong on occasion, unlike you I have not deliberately and intentionally lied on an R/C forum as you have.
So what exactly does having the name of a club, where I haven't been a member for nearly a decade, allow you to verify?

Doesn’t matter. Just pointing out your hypocrisy. I see you’re not touching the lying part of my comment. Meaning you are the one that people need to verify your claims not I.
So let’s turn the question around, What exactly does having the name of my club allow you to verify?

Being a member gives you more credibility when you criticize the organization.
Knowing the name of the club where you are no longer a member would only have value if you were critical of the club.
Verification is worth a great deal if you are trying to hide something.

In fact he could use any of your past answers/tactics.
Changes to AMA:
EC voted in favor of extending discounts to E5 and below after suggestion by me. Proof: AMA EC Minutes, 15 July 2017, item M and motion XIV.
Changes to government agency (in this case FAA) during NPRM regarding registration. If you recall, AMA's position was that members should either be exempt or be able to use their AMA number in lieu of regisration. FAA rejected both ideas, and in fact cited nearly word for word from my comment in their final rule.
NPRM comment I submitted: "AMA contends their administrative requirements make registration unnecessary. First, registration is inherently governmental. Second, the AMA guidelines do not have the force of law. Third, AOPA, BoatUS, & AAA do not register airplanes, boats, or cars (emphasis added)."
FINAL Rule under "N. Alternatives to Registration": "One individual stated that registration is an inherently governmental function that should not be ceded to any dues collecting organization. This commenter pointed out that neither the Experimental Aircraft Association nor the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association register manned aircraft (emphasis added)."

2. Verification of no-fly zones
3. Verification that they hold events as often as indicated in your comment
4. Any evidence supporting the enforcement you mentioned (as in scores for the events said to have been held)
How's that for a start?

2. picture previously posted
3. take my word for it
4. records aren’t kept, score sheets would only indicate a zero score not the reason for the zero
5. I don’t have a track record of being a liar.
