Pickle,
Hey, that's great, you are welcome to your opinion, and you know what? So am I.
Since you feel that you need an answer on some other items you feel "bitter" about. More than 14 years running this site, I post updates on the forum software when I am making changes and updates, and a timeline when I think I can have things fixed. I was overseas on an ipad for the majority of the last two months, and I made the comment that I reverted some of the modified code and the wings beneath user names and ads would be up temporarily until I was able to fix it. Ad income pays for the server and software, and won't be making me rich anytime soon. Last year's tax return, I made just slightly more after taxes what I made in one week as an O4. Like I said, not going to quit my day job anytime soon. You can put away your "jump to conclusions mat". Not really concerned about any content and their impact on any ad campaigns except WAREZ, hacking and p0rn on the site. Mostly concerned there for the NSFW aspect of people running afoul of NMCI at work. Once again, no ones posts are getting edited or deleted. You want to keep sniping at me and this website, fine, that is your opinion and you are welcome to it, regardless of the time I take to post my thoughts or the background from my side on the mechanics of running this website with a wide variety of individuals visiting that have different intentions, motivations and agendas.
But, back to the post at hand, I addressed your off topic remarks.
To summarize. You think it's cool and within the bounds of Dark Humor to make fun of, and light of the fact that a fellow Pilot died. To you, that is acceptable behavior. And that no apology is necessary. Got it loud and clear, perfectly crystal that you deal with that loss by bringing "dark humor" to a thread and making fun of the fact that a fellow Pilot died on a public forum, where google search can find it, a family member/friend/relative in grief may visit and read it. Quite a few times we have had friends and family members post afterwards saying their thanks at a post on here (even if it was just a "well wishes post"). You have been around the forum long enough to see those, and the extent we have gone to as an online community to reach out to a member's family after we lost him.
You can call that "self-righteous indignation", since in your mindset I am not allowed to have an opinion or a viewpoint, automatically mine is assumed to be invalidated as part of the company line (oh yeah, I retired last year, not much company line here or on the golden path either, but guess that doesn't matter, facts rarely do). But of course your opinion and posts have no motive, do they?
I'll stick by my posts, your comment was inappropriate. My OPINION, you have no class, you can do better, and I think you should apologize for your insensitive post.
John
