The Godfather
Sorry to detract from from our regularly scheduled freakout, but has anyone heard from oldmako as of late? I think we could use a bit of his wisdom and perspective right now.
I checked his profile page and saw that he hasn’t posted since mid-December of last year. That takes away a significant elder statesmen voice in the United forum. I hope all is well.

He pre-announced his scheduled hiatus a few weeks ago.

^ What He wrote^
Texted with him after my little tit for tat with the moderators and unfortunately he's hit his limit with those guys.
It's too bad, as he was both insightful and funny. An all around good guy.
Maybe he will be back when things get REALLY good, in the future.
Chances are I'll get a ban at some point in time, or get censored to the point where I say **** It too.
It should bother everyone when mods decide what we can or can't say, or what you get to read.
hmmmm
OldMako, if (hope) you're reading this- Stay frosty!

I'd guessed he was sleeping with the fishes.
That is, on a long fishing voyage in the Caribbean. Can't wait for his vacation pictures.

But I don't let it bother me since I have no expectation that unfiltered posts will be allowed on this, a private forum. Their forum, their rules. "Freedom of speech" does not apply here. I was the lead moderator on another aviation forum 4 years ago before I quit the organization... and learned a lot about why I'll never do that job again.
The owners of APC have a set of standards they want the Mods to adhere to. If I get to the point where I don't agree, my option is to go elsewhere.
I may disagree with the Mods over what they are willing to accept on APC... but it is their right to decide.
Like water off a duck...

Some of the moderators are very touchy about politics. I was warned about talking politics when I said republicans are conservative and not labor friendly. Dem's are much more labor friendly and we may have to wait for a Dem president to get anywhere in contract talks. So, of course I won't say stuff like that any more.
They took that to mean I was politicking. Pretty touchy.
I always very much appreciated Mako's vacation pictures, his wisdom, and wit!
