I lurked in the SZ from time to time. I thought I'd come over here to see what was going on. I have to say, you guys come across like a lovesick ex-boyfriend. "We're better off without them!" "They don't know how much they're going to miss us!" "They don't know what they've lost!" "We were the best thing about them!" "I know I said this before, but this is the last thing that I'm going to say about them."
If they're so stupid, get over it and move on. Stop talking about them. Ya'll are really coming across like a lovesick ex-boyfriend that would go running back to their arms if only they'd see the light. The fact is that this place is an echo chamber and ya'll will need to get past the breakup. You keep talking about how boring it is over there without you. Boring is 200 threads talking about how the country is going down the tubes to the liberal progressives.

Welcome to the Spin Zone.

So the creepy-stalker ex-girlfriend who shows up at the new girlfriends' house all pissy and bitchy is accusing someone else of being like a lovesick ex-boyfriend.
That is hilarious, truly grade A hypocrisy right there.
Thanks for the laugh.

^^^^^^This. But as others have said WELCOME! We can always use more, diverse opinions. I still participate at POA. I was there from the beginning, and have many great friends there. However, I do not blame the people here or there from noticing its just not the same anymore. Life goes on.

When I take my English Labs out for a walk, especially on a new trail or around a lake, they insist on pissing on every tree, mailbox and lamp post they can find. My wife calls that Doggie Facebook.
Methinks SixPapaCharlie just couldn't stay away from pissing on our mailbox, and of course being the non-voting political novice that he is, thought that he would really get under our skin by using the term "Tea Party" in his screen name.

lol Stan! You and Gimp nailed it! ;D

By my admittedly quick count, there are 3 threads on POA, POA SZ or POA MC - out of 57, on this, which is one of 7 sub-forums on this site.
Other than some interesting post-mortems on what happened and perceptions of why, this site is primarily focused on unfettered discussion of just about any topic for people for whom aviation is one, but not the only, area of interest.
Just shows to go that for some, destroying one good thing is never enough - they need the rush again and again.
This more than anything is a clear demonstration of why censorious little men with even tinier peckers obsessed with power (and penises) should be summarily tossed into the apothetae at the base of Mt Taygetos.
;D

But they are the threads that are at the top of the most active subforum. So they're the threads that are getting the most recent comments. I clicked through all of the top threads before drawing my conclusion. You may not like what I have to say, but that doesn't make it inaccurate.

I didn't come here to bitch. I came here to see what it was about. For a group of people that decry censorship, I love how quick the people around here shout down people who are just trying to point out a difficult truth.
I plan to stick around to see how things progress since I always enjoyed lurking in the SZ. I just hope that ya'll can make a place for yourself over here instead of making it only about how POA wronged you.

Other than having fun at your expense and pointing out the rank hypocrisy I don't care what you have to say.
Looking at the top 30 recent posts, the only entry regarding POA other than this one you started, ranks #28 - the facts don't really support your belief - but then again, facts are apparently not a strong suit for some. Also, the earliest posts were focused on reacting to the loss of the SZ, so those posts are the oldest and will naturally have more views and even more comments, at least for a while - makes sense.
Besides, this place was formed as a reaction to the jack-booted poorly thought out and less well executed Orwellian closure of the most dynamic portion of POA, it makes sense that this group would want to evaluate what happened and learn from it - since we are clearly the smartest and most awesomest open-minded members and former-members of POA.
The dregs remain to talk about the members of members, or so I hear - not that there's anything wrong with that.
Now that it's getting boring over there and the reality is setting in that the loss of dynamic content and contributors has left that site diminished, it is only natural that people would seek out that which they pretended to dislike, but secretly lust for like the heroine in a dime-store romance novel.
Mr. Gimp will see you now welcome to 50 Shades of SpinZone.

Search for "MC" or "POA". It runs much deeper than the threads with POA in the title.

See this is a perfect example of just the kind of imagined butthurt that led to the issues over there. Nobody is shouting you down. You come over here, make a stupid assertion that is not really backed up by the facts, get called on it in a humorous and clever way, and then project that to equate to the actual, unadulterated, jack booted censorship that actually occurred over there. Pointing out you are wrong is not a judgement on you as a person, it is a judgement on the strength, or lack thereof, of your argument.
Please stay if you want, go if you want. Report back to the Overseers that we are 'obsessed' with them, whatever you want, regardless of whether it is true or not. I am sure that after a couple quick visits you have read all the political discussions, aviation discussions, and other threads and are making an unbiased, fact-based, non-agenda-driven evaluation....said no one ever.
If you think this place is only about 'how the POA wronged us' you simply could not be further from the truth and have obviously not actually read the majority of posts.
Unlike POA there is nobody here to complain to, no sympathetic masterbators council, no running home to mommy and complaining about how those nasty other kids picked you last for dodgeball. You will sink or swim here on the merits of your thought process, logic, debating skills and thick luxurious blonde locks - just like the rest of us.

It is true that the POA threads here never seem to die. Now people are on about 6PC for some reason. He's a harmless goof ball. Let it go.

I must have missed something. Where did anyone here try to shut any down?
We might tell people what we think of them in no flattering terms, but you and anyone can say anything you like here. Even if you are in the minority. As a matter of fact, we love to have dissenters here so we can really tell them what we think.
So I invite you to stick around and defend your position, to the best of your ability. It won't hurt any of us.

God, the guy making a thread on love sick ex boyfriends, the same one who is having his online "bromances" over at the other board......unreal.
Maybe you and Troy should go crawl into bed and console each other.

Yeah, like the "beating a dead horse" badge never has to get trotted out over on POA.
Beating dead horses is favorite pastime over there too. How long has the "next word that comes to mind" thread been going on? Or the "Please delete; problem solved" thread?

Good catch. Never understood a Texan who was not only left-leaning but also gun-averse.

I would ask the Moderator on PilotSpin to flag this user for micro-aggression. I am offended that my belief system is being challenged and I don't feel that this board is a safe space.

There is a place in a far-away land where you can be free of any sort of challenge to your belief system, free if microaggressions, and where you are offered a soothing neck rub or a hand job. Your choice. Legend has it that this place is called "Pilots of America."

Now people are on about 6PC for some reason. He's a mildly annoying blowhard who adds no real value and asks simplistic questions a fourth grade pre-solo student should know the answer to.
FTFY :o ;) :)

I love the sense of humor on display here, especially when compared to the blow hard, make-believe moderation over on POA. It got so you couldn't tell the difference between the moderator and the idiots some days, so when I deleted the link, I never looked back.
If they miss us and just HAVE to come over and whine about how evil we were... well.... have a nice day.

The one that is over here is the lap dog reporting back to his master. He wants soooo badly to be a part of the MC so he must feel he needs to show them he's "in their corner".

I was never very impressed whenever a moderator jumped into a discussion, ran all over it like a stupid steamroller, and then locked down the thread but after they posted something truly idiotic.
Like every good thing, those with more time on their hands, than brains in their heads just have to screw it up.

BTW, Nick just requested a political sub-forum under Hangar Talk over on POA.

Pilots are comfortable with a certain level of danger. They have to have a certain level of intelligence. Refusal to engage in a true discussion of observable realities doesn't seem to me a good quality for a pilot to have.
My husband is wonderfully able to discuss all sides of an issue. Noting that this seems to go along with a more fully-engaged, actively working brain, I'm actually becoming more comfortable with the idea of flying with him. :)
Thank you, FLTP!

I think the issue over at POA wasn't discussing issues, it was more about the nasty name calling and bullying as well as many aviation topics turning into political topics with the usual "It's Obama's and the socialist Democrats fault..." stuff. There are lots and lots of pilots that are Democrats. They really don't want that crap thrown in their face on every other thread about airspace, the FAA, the state of GA these days, or any topic of regulation.
Having said that, closing the Spin Zone was dumb IMO. They had the perfect gig going, but IMO, were mismanaging what they had started. I still post over on POA, so I'm not a lovesick ex-boyfriend. I'm a cheatin' bastard that gets the best of both forums with no commitments!! ;)

I really, really did not see much of that at all at POA, especially in the non SZ forums. That's where moderators need to step in and correct things. That being said, General Aviation is somewhat of an anti Democrat/Progressive activity due to environmental stances, and a perspective of freedom, liberty, and less regulation, and control. It is like gun ownership. The two do not mix well at all. Progressive ideology, and the freedom of GA, and burning 100LL does not "COEXIST".

What's the difference between a brown nose and a shithead?
Ans: depth perception!
