You could exchange PMs or personal e-mails until the cows come home if you like and discuss anything till all are blue in the face.

I'm sure that you did start your own forum, had hopes that it might come to represent a top industry forum, and laid down some basic ground rules to help acheive that goal - but then some came onto your forum and couldn't follow those rules - well.......what would be your response?

I'll tell you this. If I had children who wanted to invite their friends to come over to my house and play in the yard - they would either follow my house rules or they would be asked to leave and not come back.
It seems some others have different ideas.

No one here is getting in trouble poor pilot (so far )

Back the topic.....before (and if) this thread is closed down because it may/may not be an inappropriate topic for public forum discussion - - - can someone explain to me exactly what OPEN TIME is?
Is this equivalent of an instructor being unable to fly and then I pick up his flight or a pilot working *overtime* when there are pilots furloughed?
