I don't quite remember how I put it in the post I made. A number of times I've used "forum That Shall Not Be Named"
my words, the POA MC is worthless.
Posters can tell people to perform unnatural acts, but don't mention PilotSpin.

PoA is not even a viable aviation forum any longer. Lots of misinformation by the self proclaimed experts, then lots of threads not even aviation related.
I go read on occasion but quickly move on. No value.

Considering the post from their "pet" participates in which they are allowed to break any and every RoC at will, then on others they are immediately reprimanded for anything that remotely hurts their precious feelings.You mean someone with a Y in the middle of their name?

I don’t know why people keep going back there.
Believe it or not I miss the AOPA forums. While there were jagoffs there as well, you could generally get some quality aviation information. Just don’t piss off Dr. Bruce or he’d pull a Steingar.

You might want to take a look at BeechTalk. Very knowledgeable and mostly very polite. Lots of good aviation information and a good random forum. You sign in with your own name which keeps a lot of people more polite than if they were anonymous.Good idea. I was on that a long time ago but figured I’d be sneared at because I own a Navion.

Nope, you'll get peppered with enthusiastic questions about your ride.

LOL yeah she loved me when I was posting there. Between her and Mr “I’m Thinking About” I was banned most of the time. Could never achieve permanent ban though, strangely. Think they got their rocks off making an example of me by banning me but not permanently. Hell even that James character was permently banned and I was a better rules violator! ;D

I presume they're not reading everyone's IMs, although that might not be a safe assumption.

On PoA assume your PM’s are being read. There’s been some past history there that leads to that conclusion.
So private doesn't mean private.

Oh, and we do have an aviation section here, again, no moderation. Many from over there would find it quit refreshing.

They locked a thread for discussing peer review. I am not kidding.
well, clearly the problem was that someone said "covid" or maybe it was "mandate"
or....
<GASP!>
"mask"

Asking for a friend. How would one intentionally avoid the know-it-all condescending jackass at Oshkosh? You know the one, lives in a mansion on a grass strip, name drops to impress people, over there on POA, you know the guy.
Who are you talking about?

That dipshit? The guy that to this day won’t take responsibility for trashing his engine?
Just look for the goofiest and most moronic idiot walking around, that’s him.

Just got an alert over on POA that one of my posts was deleted because I referenced PilotSpin
I don't quite remember how I put it in the post I made. A number of times I've used "forum That Shall Not Be Named"
Wow. This is really bad. I think we should seek explicit clarification of this. Perhaps there was something else about the post they were objecting to.
Explicitly banning mention of another forum for no reason. Wow.
If I had known they were doing this, I probably would not have spent any time there.

A search of PoA gives four pages of results for "pilotspin", the latest is August 18. On the other hand, most mentions over there are how awful we are.

They are just mad at me presently because I asked them to provide an explanation and be objective about whether we can mention a user's full name in a post

It is always ok at POA to trash Pilot Spin, but those pathetic, snowflake, asswipes will ban people for not trashing pilot spin without a thought about how hypocritical they are.

It's all about obeying the narrative and not questioning your betters.
Liberalism is a mental disorder. You have to be NUTS to believe any of their crap.
Unless you really do think there are 32 genders and can change yours as often as your underwear...

I don’t really consider such people liberals anymore. There is nothing classically liberal about such behavior.
They use the word liberal, because it sounds less threatening than what they actually are, communist.

I stopped using liberal a long time ago. Leftists is the proper term and a lot of them are very comfortable with tha5 term.
