Gentlemen
Let me say what I should have said earlier. IMO channel 200 is more of an "open mic" for any idiot that wants to misuse it. Political, religious arguments, name calling, racial comments, threats and other abuses have all been used here from time to time. Here's the point I'm trying to make. With a vehicle such as this it has been and will continue to be abused by a few idiots. De tune 200, sure I do most of the time. But what about the scenario of the young player who just logs on for the first few times and sees what's being typed there. It could have a negative impact.
And oldman, it's not dumb. First of all, I don't know if tuning to 201 will allow one to talk cross country or not. Maybe it will, I don't know. But your missing the point. The point is, maybe it's time to limit cross country chatter to just PM's. Most who seem to have some problem with 200 is the fact that the player on the receiving end of another's tongue lashing maybe humiliated by having it displayed for all to see. IDK, just making a guess here.
One other thing oldman, isn't most of your time spent in the AvA arena? No wonder you like talking cross country. You can have a chat with the other five people in there.

There's a lot of talk about a lack of honor when flying because of a certain style of flying or what have you, but many times the same people screaming about a lack of honor, are some of the same people typing trash on 200. Go figure?
