SimV is now a business that Pete has worked hard to promote, he now even has a SimV shop linked to Amazon. As with all businesses, it has to have a certain standard. Regardless of what you all think, it is Pete's train set, and he can play as he wishes. Saying that, Fozzers whit and repartee is something that I also miss, but like many good businesses, if you know where and when to look, you will find the re-branded product

Yep I realise that and I respect it as well.

I also know where to look, and in all honesty I do agree with the comment he made in that thread. If this gets me a ban then so be it.

Fozzer was, by his own admission, a bigot and a racist. (his own quotes available) Anyone that supports bigotry and racism can follow him into the ether. (& have  )

I remember the 1st storm like this -- ... back in 1999. Then people were saying 'simviation isn't like it used to be'

I held off banning Fozzer for years (mods will support me in this). He was warned for a long time but took no notice. He was constantly anti US, racist against black people, etc  - despite requests from many for his removal - probably over 100 members here over years, including contributors to this very thread (quotes available again) .. Probably 30 or 40 people have left because of him (probably MANY more silently) --

Simviation does not stand racist bigots - no matter how many 'tee hee's or  they throw into their remarks. Period.

Anyone that follows a racist bigot and leaves is helping to clean the forums. It's organic.

We've moved on. 

It is abundantly clear that there a strong anti-European sentiment on Simviation.

Sounds like it's now simply a case of grasping at straws in order to ban those who you don't like, even if that means ignoring obviously joking statements, and purposely taking attitudes and actions far out of context.

I already know that a number of our European members here realize that the Simviation Forums have become increasingly hostile to their presence.

Oh, beyond the above, there ARE other flightsim websites around, and I find it needless to censor the locations of interesting addons even if SimV does not have the file. I have yet to run across another forum that has policies like this.

There are a few other issues that I have but that would involve naming names to provide context, and while it would be beneficial for those that want a clear picture of where they stand in the various Admin's eyes, I'll let them figure it out themselves.

I'm sure this post will be either deleted entirely, or censored/modified to a great extent.

I'm done here.
