There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

We cant let words destroy us. We must carry on. We must ignore things said that were meant to permanently derail us.
Just get up, dust yourself off.. Chin up and chest out. Put that smile back on your face! Your spirit is bullet proof man!

As others before me have echoed these words I also totally agree that a strict " No politics " rule should be enforced . I love talking about politics but I don't ever recall bringing it up here in this forum . Panther and Mud are very interesting and I really enjoyed reading their comments and especially Panther's various links that brought back nostalgic " Yester Years " Hurry back guys , I'm sure things can be corrected . You both are very important parts of our " flightsim family " here .

The reason that Panther isn't around at the moment is that he banned himself and he has stepped down from his Admin duties for 30 days of self-imposed exile. I am positive he will be back after that period, he has assured me of that via email.
Also, remarks such as were made that triggered Ed to leave should be punished by banning 'on the spot'.
This then may be a reminder (or warning even) to maintain a policy of 'no politics' here.... as we do in our own forums and many other forums I am a member of.

There are all sorts of views on life with so many of us crowding the earth, but such views have no place in a hobby community - and often not even elsewhere either if you ask me.
Instead of letting good been driven away by those 'less fortunate' intelligence-wise, mods should always take immediate and definitive action in such cases. And readers should report them, so they can be identified and acted upon.
I too hate to see Panther and MudMarine leave our community.
Mom always said never to discuss politics or religion in polite company....someone is going to get offended regardless. A wise woman she was....
