thank you LUD, it's good to see that more and more people understand my point. This witch hunt of the whiners, trolls and what not has become a hobby lately, and although there obviously are/were some, other people don't just complain, they just express their perplexity in front of a change of register that has become quite worrying.

The problem is the maturity of the people involved: if I was in an open IL-2 LAN event and heard two teenagers arguing over a silly matter, I would take the age into account and be less caustic or ignore them altogether, because I've been a teenager too and a very hot headed one; but in a forum, where you're just a nickname, everyone turns into a brash, full mouthed keyboard hero, which sometimes goes into very dangerous territories..

As mentioned somewhere else, I have been threatened by a delusional member of this forum, who I suppose has been banned, an (alleged) Australian police officer that started being offensive and threatened me, in pure "I'm the internet hero and I'll give you a good one" style. Now to think that this kind of people hang around armed normally is very worrying, but it gave me an idea of what distorted perspectives and behaviours people can get to in these places..

Anyway, sorry for the OT, let's keep on flying and hoping for good news soon..
