I'm New Here
VAF,
I wanted to drop by as a representative of AOPA and the Administrator of the AOPA Forums. I wish to apologize for the crude and?frankly?bully-like behavior that is going on in the ?Red Board?.
I have personally closed the thread, and issued a post that includes not only an apology to those that were insulted and/or hurt, but one of warning to posters and their rhetoric.
I would like to specifically apologize to: N8RV, tkatc, katieb, flyingriki, Louise Hose, mkjprice, ironflight, pmnewlon, Sam Buchanan, Snowflake, Mike D, rvbysdi, Alan Carroll and Flybuddy2. If there is anyone that I missed, I extend it to you as well. The moderators and I did not ?nip the thread in the bud?, resulting in soapboxing. Certain moderators inappropriately used it as a soapbox of insultingly gross magnitude.
While I could stand here, shrug my shoulders and say with utmost monotone, "The views and expressions of posters and moderators here do not reflect the views of AOPA or the Association", that goes only so far, and it provides no relief whatsoever to you.
If any of you have questions or concerns, please feel free to send an email to me, as I will respond to it much faster than private message.
I appreciate your time and patience in this, and wish all of you tailwinds and blue skies,
-Mitch Mitchell
AOPA Forum Admin.
