I am not into censorship. I believe that as an American we as a people should be free to express our Ideas. However on Stunt Hangar these ideas are limited to modeling topics. I have only had to remove a few topics and lock down a dozen or so topics in ten months. Also if you payed attention I am not excluded from these rules. There have been a few locked out because of not following the rules. Not too bad.
Keep in mind the principles of Stunt Hangar. A place to gather information on how to build a model airplane.As long as the principles and guide lines are met this is a place to gather and enjoy each others thoughts. Just like you would at the field.
This is one of the reasons everyone will have their real first and last name in their profile. Its not an anonymous community. At the end of the year I will be pruning the board and if these simple guide lines are not met, profiles will be removed and IP's banned. The First and last name rule infraction is one I will not tolerate to be broken. That's the nice thing about the electronic age. If you have put a fictitious name in your profile I will know it. So my best suggestion is to fix this problem before I find out. This is an infraction that there is no second chance.

Robert, that is what is so great about this site. If you can't say it face to face, forget it. Keep up the great work. DOC Holliday

Spark,
Easy enough!
Personally, I'd be more worried about any who find it too "restrictive" !
We fly model airplanes. We share what goes with that. If we choose to share more than that, we should be sensitive, perhaps, to the atheists among us (FCM?) ...or to those who consider a flier, or a manufacturer, or whatever, to be beyond critical comment.
Where criticism is due, let it come before us all. But, PLEASE!, include enough raw fact and detail that our friends - whoever they are - can decide for themselves? And, as Joe Friday always insisted, "...just the facts, sir (or madam, as the case may be)." Emotion may be inevitable, but it is always a source of problems in reaching a broad agreement.
As to 'shielding' publications, organizations, manufacturers, or individuals from adverse comment...
Houston, we have a problem...
For me, if such disagreements can be put into unemotional, fact-based form, the neutral comparisons should let people, whose main thing in life is not political harangue, to choose which point of view is more sensible. (As a retired soldier, I put a career into preserving the freedom to make such a choice.)
I haven't always thought the choice made, by the majority of the people, or by the government in power at the time, to be the wisest possible, based on whatever insider informaton I had... But, as a sworn defender of our system, I accepted what I had to do.
We have a HOBBY, for goodness sakes! Something we do because it pleases us to do it... Few if any of us make a living from our hobby. Most of us spend much more on them we than we "make" from our hobbies. Can we just write it off as an entertainment expense, like chasing group tours? I hope not, since we DO put so much into our models, whether building/finishing them, or practicing with them, or just enjoying them in non-contest conditions...
The most basic thing is that we have to be trusted enough to be a friend acceptable to launch a friend's model, and to have friends we trust enough to launch ours. Unless our arms are 60+' long, and we don't need the flying lines...

...Oh, and Frankie,
Those in the WPP had better use the name they were 'elected' to use by the feebs, or why bother trying to keep them among the breathing..?
That's the legit, gov't approved name. I'm sure this site will accept it for the necessary purposes.
(Now, what IS WAS Frankie's real name? **)
Merry Christmas, or if you celebrate a different occasion at this time of year, all the best for that, as well.

If you can,t sign your name to it ,There must be a reason, and not a good one!
Such as the letter sent out about Bob Hunt.
You didn,t get one? Good!
Now as to Frank, He does remind me of one of " The men in Black".HMMMMM! %^

I thought, Frank, looked familiar when I first met him! **) **)
