Read 'em & Weep -- Rec. Aviation Rogues Gallery is Coming Down

There once was a time, not long ago, when this group was filled with
hundreds of positive, upbeat, and interesting pilots and aviation
enthusiasts. It was a fascinating place, with the only shortfall being that
we couldn't SEE what each of us was/were flying.

Therefore, I came up with the idea of a Rec.Aviation Rogues Gallery, where
regular posters could post a little biographical information and some
pictures of their aircraft. See it he
http://www.alexisparkinn.com/rec_aviation.htm

As you can see, it was pretty popular, and it was great fun to administer.
It really helped give a "feel" for the person you were talking to, and I
think everyone enjoyed the opportunity to show off their "pride & joy"
aircraft.

You may see pictures of some current posters, but what you'll notice most is
the huge number of people who are no longer here. One by one, almost all
the great folks in the Rogues Gallery have been driven off by the
"Bertie/MX/Rich/Mikey/Maxwell Troll-o-Rama Show". I would not have
believed it to be possible, but in a relatively short period of time this
tiny handful of trolls and sock-puppets has driven away an amazing number of
people. As a result, this group, for all intents and purposes, no longer
exists as an avenue of meaningful exchange for pilots.

It is therefore with great sadness that I've decided to pull the gallery
down. Look at it, copy/save your pictures if you'd like, enjoy it while you
can -- but Friday it's going away. There's simply no reason for it to
exist anymore.

Blue skies, all.

Bye jay.

Take your self-promotion, your Rogues Gallery, your politics, and especially
your illusions of special entitlement along with you, and don't let the rap door
hit you in the ass as you leave.

I'd say Jay's postings were in general more interesting and useful
than many of the others here. The digital last-word tantrums some
common (in every sense of the word) posters engage in are much worse.
If it's maxi or his aliases, you can count on it being stupid. Bertie
is a mixed bag -- his postings average to mediocre (old joke -- "she
said I was average, but she was just being mean") which I think is
his goal. Bertie's contributions are hardly in a normal distribution
-- really bipolar. Makes me think he might be, too.

No, Bertie intends to moderate the newsgroup.

When someone has the balls to disagree with him, he intends to hound them
endlessly until the leave. That's what he is doing with Jay and I, and has
done in the past to Mx, Ken, LeChaud and others. And until the majority of
this group can get a grip on that, and grow the balls to deal with it, it
will continue.

Without Bertie, all the other trouble makers except Mx, are out of a job.
And compared to that damage Bertie has done, Mx is a piece of cake.
