By the way, whether or not I have "issues", 2 die for every 5 Reno events. The math does not change no matter how many issues you think I have.

Give it a rest or i'm taking out the banhammer. And no, i don't accept PMs about it and won't discuss it further. This thread has been going to the dumps for quite a while now and it's a shame because it does contain valid information and i wouldn't want to lock it and spoil it for everyone who's debating in good spirit.

So i'd rather exclude the agitators and delete their posts so that nobody will know they ever existed, in the interest of providing the majority with a suitable venue to discuss this aviation incident: if it comes to the point where someone has to suffer a penalty, it's the minority that has to suffer for the benefit of the majority, especially if the minority is the one stirring the pot in the first place.

Disagreeing about the thread topic = good, it's all about exchanging opinions.
Trying to force a personal opinion onto others and turning things personal = e-fascism, it's not tolerated and will be responded to in kind by restricting the posting privileges of the offenders

Either learn that you speak for yourself first and foremost and not everyone else, or don't bother posting any further.

Excuse my blunt tone, but it seems that being polite and long-winded is seen as a weakness by some, so i'll say it in a language that will be better understood by them: don't disrupt the forum discussions by making things personally antagonistic, by bogging every discussion down to the usual drivel it's encroaching on the freedom of other members to use the forum in its intended manner and it's something that's taken very seriously by the moderating team. So either straighten up and fly right or GTFO and don't return.
I can easily ban someone and delete every single one of their posts, which is a troll's biggest fear: nobody will know they were ever here. So either play nice with other people or go to your room and play by yourself.

Some people need to understand that not everyone will agree with them and when each side has presented their opinion and arguments, it's a good time to call it a day and have all involved parties agree that they disagree. End of.

That's only drivers not including team members and civilians... and only F1 not the other races!

Yes in recent years safety restrictions have reduced the number of fatalities, but look at the amount of money they have that allowed them to do that and how different it is to flying.... To be perfectly honest comparing these two sports is rather foolish!

TBH from what I have read most ppl are willing to see both sides of the argument and only a handful that are not... one of these may have been banned before

If you can think of any other spectator sport to compare it to you should post it.

Other aircraft races for a start

Like Red Bull? That was shut down for safety reasons (prior to any deaths). What else is there?

The Red Bull Air Race that might be returning in 2012 you mean? and Aero GP as well...

Yes, the Red Bull series that was stopped before anyone was killed.

How does Reno's record of 2 pilot deaths for every 5 events compare to those 2 race series?
