This is sad if it happened and would make me wonder what the rest of the story behind such actions is.

Does he actually the the authority prevent the person from entering the grounds ? Is the organizer have the authority under the insurance provisions to prevent someone from flying ?

I hate junk like this...Makes the hobby look bad

One case that might come to mind would be if the organizer of the rally has a restraining order against someone then he has the legal right to expect legal exclusion and distance from the restrained, I would think.

BUT. I'd have to know a lot more about a situation like this before I'd have an opinion. It's never black and white. As a rule however I'd have to say that it's a pretty bad precedent in general (not to mention legally risky for the excluding parties) to attempt political exclusion against someone. But again, if there are legal reasons that person "B" cannot be by person "A" and person "A" organized a rally, then I guess person "B" is out of luck. But if "A" and "B" are squabbling then tough cookies to person "A" 's ego. Preson "B" can not be politically shunned under the auspices of a larger organization (say, AMA), unless discriminatory practices can be ethically and legally upheld (as likely as snowballs becoming magically manifested in a pottery kiln on high blast heat).

People do what people do. Sometimes there's no explaining it.

The simplest answer, if you didn't like it, would be to just not attend. If enough people agreed with your point and did the same, the problem would take care of itself.

if the excluded party is a bad pilot/builder he might have a good reason to exclude him as he has a duty of care to the rest of the people at the meeting

I think that if this happened stateside that the other flyers involved would have a little chat with the organizer or would hope they would. Like you, I feel that this is very sad indeed.

This sounds familiar, it happened to Todd many many years ago and was personal in nature!

I removed my previous comment as asked. I did not feel it was inappropriate or offensive and it was not slanderous. I was expressing my opinion in a politically correct way.

Unfortunate but would need to know the rest of the story, If the person being banned is a jerk, unsafe, a troulbe maker, jepardizes others, then good

Hi rcand,
you make a valid point,
unfortunately, here in Israel there aren't that many jet pilots and everybody knows everybody, it is a true shame that something like that takes place and i truly believe that any misunderstanding or personal clash should be solved OFF THE TRACK, leave your emotion out of it and let everyone enjoy their time flying with friends.
one can only hope and dream that one day, all rc pilots will get along without the personal background clutter.

If it was a public area and that happened, I would tell your friend to take legal action.

answering your question, I would move to Brazil , we have our problems like any country, but we are hospitable!

Not fair, even without listening to the other side. It's a major event and if you are legal ( have a jet waiver, if one is needed in Israel ) there is no way in h$&amp;@ you should pinpoint who you want in and who you don't.<div>Here in the US of A is called discrimination and is illegal </div>

How long is a piece of string?
You have given very little detail as to why, perhaps you don't know the full story?
I'd say let person A and B settle it themselves.

How can you comment on this topic without knowing the full story no one can.

There are events that are invitation only. Several in the US. Kinda the same thing?

If the guy being banned is truly the good guy you say he is, I would think some of his flying buddies would make a concerted effort to let the event co-ordinator know that they will not attend and will persuade others to do the same and make the event a non-event.
