IMO, Skuzzy single-handedly killed the O'Club out of a severe dislike for his job as a moderator.
I’m not sure about the last part of your statement, however I got a 2 week vacay for posting a link to an article that the Thunderbirds Air Show was cancelled at Luke AFB. No warnings or posts of mine had been moderated prior…
The link mentioned the Prez at the time and how other Air Shows were/being cancelled. However, my post was that the couple members I had spoke with about meeting up there - it wasn’t going to be possible and I wouldn’t be able to go to Nellis. No intention of making it a verboten debate/didn’t think it would be perceived that way…
Less heavy hand would have just inserted “Rule #…” and locked it.
