'Nuff said!

It is the sum total of all of your ongoing anti-motorglider rants. They are insulting, childish and irrelevant, but you cannot seem to let it go. The fact is that many RAS readers, after disagreeing with the theme and asking you to cease your repetitive dialogue, enough people complained when you indicated that you intended to continue on RAS_Prime. For that reason, the moderator, Mr. DeRosa, called and asked you to please not start the same thing on the RAS_Prime group. Instead, you decided to not post on the forum. You were given the option to limit your posts to relevant topics, but you chose to go your own way and cease participation on RAS_Prime. Fine. Have a nice life.
Mark, not exactly that way, I had made several post on RAS Prime, the Santa post was purely comical as intended. I was not asked by DeGrinch to limit my posting, the Grinch stated that he had read all my post and was monitoring my post, I simply told Grinch that he was completely off base and his approach was interpretation of the content was wrong. Instead of having a argument that was not making any progress I simply told Grinch to have a good day and canceled the call,Mark, you just don't seem to get the big picture, it is not about free speech, it is about controlling content.

Ok, so you get invited to a party. There are a number of people there, men, women, and children of a variety of ethnic backgrounds. Everybody seems to be having a nice time, but you think the gathering needs a bit of spice. You tell a joke that insults a number of people who consider it racist. Not getting the response you want; you tell a blatantly misogynistic joke. More people are offended. You tell a pedophile joke, and the host asks you to leave. You refuse, citing "freedom of speech," and the host and guests boot you out the door. For some reason, they won't let you back in. You are clueless and tell everybody you meet that you were "just bantering," and don't see the problem and your free speech "rights" are being disrespected. Nobody offers any sympathy.Mark, now I know, you are a flaming ass liberal that must throw the race card on the table even in a friendly game of canasta. You have never seen me post anything like you have just mentioned, you are the only one that can opine with such woke nonsense. Maybe I can educate you a bit more, "Freedom Of Speech", does not apply in such instances, try another venue. So, I am disrespectful of motorglider guys and gals because I simply have a point of view that doesn't coincide with yours and some motorglider pilots. I never posted anything about," Worshipers, Whores and Motorgliders", only posted my point of view in regard to the differences between motorglider pilots and Purist. You are telling me that I should respect motorglider flights and not Purist flights??? Try leaving your woke racial card somewhere else, maybe you would fit in well with some School like MIT, Harvard, or Penn, you seem to be on the same path.

Bob, it is you that doesn't get it. It isn't about the Santa post. It is the sum total of all of your ongoing anti-motorglider rants.

Hah! Anybody that knows me would laugh at the idea that I am a "Woke Liberal." My politics are irrelevant on this forum, but you could say that I am slightly to the right of Attila the Hun.Mark, please correct me if I am incorrect, you were the one that made the comment about racial and ethnic comparisons to the topic, if that wasn't woke then what is? And then there is Eric who wants to opine on the event, glad someone was able to help him with his motorglider, after all Eric you go to an event and spend all your time working on that get me home glider and not flying, glad someone was able to assist you.
Unfortunately the site is not what it appears to be, over two years ago John DeRosa started the site and it was a complete failure. John had stated recently that the site was created because of all the current spam on RAS. I find that his lack of candor exemplifies something to the contrary.====================
RAS Prime was started because John did not like the content of RAS, simply stated his dislike of the content drove him to start RAS Prime and be the moderator in charge of content, this is all about content and nothing else.
I did receive a call from John and he advised me that he had receive two complaints about my Santa posts on RAS Prime, I could hardly believe what he was saying. I asked John who had complained and he simply stated that he could not tell me those whom had complained. I told John that he was way off base and that my posting of Santa Doesn't Fly A Motorglider was nothing more than a comical post that had received a few comical replies, yet he continued to state that he as a moderator had to control such content, I could not help but to laugh, and tell MR. Grinch to have a good night.
I would advise any person that post on RAS Prime that the main objective is to control content. There will be a much better forum coming in the near future that will NOT be moderated in such a way that interprets content.

Old Bob, The Purist - You really should get your facts straight prior to denigrating someone in public. There is at least one error (some minor, others major) in each of your statements and replies. Why did you leave RAS_Prime? Too civilized? [no need to reply as these are rhetorical questions] Wait ... do I hear OB typing? Can't help yourself? [more rhetorical questions]

After a couple of days and some very humorous replies the moderator called me on my private cell# to complain about my post, it was almost laughable, how could anyone find a post like that offensive. Mr. DeGrinch went on and on about the post, almost like a rabid dog attacking prey. Mr. DeGrinch stated that he had received complaints about the post and when I asked him who would complain about such a benign post he stated that it was top secret. I informed DeGrinch that he was way off base and controlling and interpreting content, what a sad way to moderate a forum. I also informed DeGrinch that I was no longer posting on RAS Prime at some point one must have a bit of backbone and not comply with such WOKE venues.
For your information I have received many calls from glider pilots all over the country sharing my same views and opinion of RAS Prime. Even prior to this event work had begun on a new site that will be much more inclusive and allow one to view post within a specific category instead of the format that has been used on RAS and RAS Prime, those forums are Google and many people including myself really don't like Google because of the way they accumulate information from individuals. The future site will more than likely be XenForo based community platform that provides premium user experience and security, just hold on, as I told Eric, it will blow your socks off. There will be no moderator telling you that he doesn't like Santa! Old Bob, The Purist
