What planet are you on 80? I didn't defend TC's communication. Sure it was a giant snafu. He realized his error, apologized, and moved on. You and sailing want to keep beating him over the head with it. As I pointed out earlier, you two are the exact type that want to gloss over an alleged criminal act by one (or more) pilots against another pilot. Yet you show no quarter for someone whose only "crime" was an ill-advised communication. Your standards are inconsistent and irreconcilable.
