Why, what happened?

Flight simulator forum memberships show a certain similarity to the teaching hierarchy.  After a certain unspecified amount of time or other requirement, a status similar to 'tenure' is acquired.  This bestows a 'gravitas' on those members, similar to that of a shaman of the Lakota Sioux.  My experience with the mentioned forum has been quite placid, so far but, like all mariners sticking their oars in strange waters, beware of fish that bite  .

Same applies for the SimV forums. You are not allowed to write about politics and religions here. Which is a good thing because it keeps the place friendly. But it kills the 'freedom of speech'. Not that I care.

yes but, freedom of speech doesn't hurt when you talk about music... I just went there and asked what the people's favorite song was and they got ticked off about it.

now is that hardly fair to through a hissy fit over music?

I stick to Simv mostly. Here there is a more relaxed atmosphere with a wider variety of topics.

So, first you went to a strictly Flight sim related forum, that has no section for music, and asked everyone what their favorite song was,

but, then what you really did was ask them to put a music section into a Flightsim only forum,

A-10 wrote on May 29^th, 2010 at 2:33pm:




but they told you no, because they're not a music forum.



So you got mad at that, and felt violated, and came to another Flight sim forum,
and told us not to visit that other place, for reasons, that affect no one else but you?

You also call their forums dreadful,
when the only basis for judgement you have to go on is the fact that they denied your request,

Fear not, I have an answer!

You are in the wrong place!  You were looking for a music forum when you stumbled in here and got caught up in our wonderful, fun little community.

But wait! We have a music section here! So if you do stick around with us, feel free to ask all the music related questions you want there in that section, 

There is no sense in going around blasting other popular websites for no reason other than revenge,
that just causes hurt feelings. 

While we are on the subject of "Free Speech"........

A-10, does it not seem at least a little ironic to you that in the pursuit of "free speech" that you suggest people not participate in the speech on that forum because you disagree with what they have to say?   

And SimV's speech policy is dictated by "god" himself:  Pete. 

best,
