My guess is that some of this is alter-ego unions, inside politics, and other remnants from the ALPA forum bleeding over this frequency. I think some of these guys know each other, and this is just an extension of a fight started elsewhere. Since I am a proponent of anonymity on APC, I'm not going to speculate further.
Another guess is that slow made some comments about Sink's favorite domicile, which didn't go over well, and the TOTD thread was invoked. I guess...
I may not always agree with them but so what? It would be very boring and not informative at all if it were just 200 guys agreeing with each other, slamming the company and DALPA all the time.
I agree. A lot of the participants contribute to the discussion, especially as they disagree. Say that Bar and Sailing have a different viewpoint one some issues. Whether your views align with one or the other, I think you have to agree the conversation is richer for having both participate.
My suggestion is that we argue over issues, not personalities.
