Mod note:

So what was this thread about? Stay on track, avoid flamebait or personal attacks. I'm not going to issue warnings for now, but will delete all posts that have no bearing on the thread topic. However, the next poster to flame another publicly will be banned.

In the meantime, I am closing this thread. If you'd like it re-opened, send me a PM with your best argument as to why. I'll take everything under advisement.

----------------------------------
Ok, so I received some PMs that contained impassioned commentary on why I should re-open the thread. I am sufficiently persuaded and therefore, I have re-opened this.

At this time, I urge everyone to look over the Terms of Service again and this thread where I tried to explain (again) how you too can have an enjoyable and productive experience on APC. There is absolutely no logical reason for folks to be fighting, flaming, and otherwise behaving like juvenile delinquents. The profession is being battered enough, there is no need to prove that some of you may not really be the professionals you so want people to believe.

There is a strike going on at Amerijet. I'd rather put my efforts into supporting union brothers and sisters instead of trying to tear each other down.

I have said to many of you that my priority is APC and your individual posting behavior. I take this "job" of moderator very seriously, but I also try my best to moderate with a kinder, gentler and even hand. However, if someone persists in causing havoc, I will not hesitate to cut you off. A little tough love has never hurt anyone. And I have yet to meet someone who is beyond redemption.
