Firstly, this is my first post in Aces High in a few years as I am coming out of retirment. Grin. Grin. Grin.
Chi, it is becoming common for sim pilots to hang up their stick and pedals. Seen Crutch the author, hang his up and also my squadrans CEO, Klax (Targetware) also. The reason, they don't enjoy it anymore.
I left Warbirds years ago for much the same reason as you are having and being as I am still banned, will probably never go back. These online sims have every right to manage the type of banter they will allow. I left Nova Logic years ago because they would allow anything and that kind of freedom was not enjoyable.
I am encouraged that the message board allowed you to voice your opinion. In the old days of Warbirds your post would have disappeared immediately.
I have been piloting TW and found it to be very laid back and friendly. If you're not hanging up your stick, it is a good place for cooling down.
to you and all.
