If you mandate FLARM at Uvalde WGC what will you do about visiting

at least should not, mandate an illegal operation.
Then CANCEL the WGC at Uvalde.
Period.
If the organizers of a WGC forbid the use of THE major safety device,
they ought to be forbidden to hold ANY international contests.
Period.
Sorry if I sound angry - but I am.
Forbidding the use of FLARM at a WGC is about the dumbest thing that I
ever read on r.a.s.

Cool down. Who said anything about prohibiting anything?
There is a big difference between a) prohibiting/forbidding, b)
encouraging, and c) mandating.
Where did you read on RAS that anyone advocated option a)? I
certainly didn't say that.
