Pima, since apparently your desire is to commence acting in the moderator role, perhaps you should read the forum rules. I have boldfaced the pertinent parts for you:
Allow me to summarize. Factual information for candidates and parents. Prior to your quoted scoutpilot's condolences, way back on post # 2, he made a statement that is not factual, not in accordance with the forum's intent, not in the best interest of future candidate and parent readers. I ask you, should the inaccuracy be allowed to remain? If not, whose responsibility is it to correct it. The success of any forum such as this is the knowledge of all posters and their ability to ensure correct and factual information.
You never seem to see the harm of incorrect information and, along with scoutpilot, bully those who attempt to set the record straight. This thread is a textbook example. You see no harm in this statement? Analogous and totally pertinent. What if I came on the AFA forum and, every time UPT was mentioned, stated something to the effect that if a cadet goes to UPT, he will probably crash (Overwater flying is a high-risk endeavor) , and if he crashes, he will probably die (a crash usually means that good men will be surrendered to the deep). No matter where I posted this, everyone, including you, and rightfully so, would be up in arms. However, that statement basically is exactly what was stated in post #2.
Quit bullying. Acknowledge that you should never have agreed with a post about which you know nothing, and then move on.
Presently, scoutpilot and others are speculating as to the cause of the mishap. Perhaps he can enlighten us with some data as to the percentage of overwater helicopter mishaps that are pilot error. Also, perhaps I am the only one the bully moderators do not 'allow' to go off topic.
