1. About me choicing words, and we agree, and I always try to do so.
2. Is the Luftwhiner stuff, that we do not agree on ,because you don't seem to want to see most of the problem is caused by the luftwhiners and not the whine police to follow.
So what should be done about bad behavior on this board, and make no mistake true "luftwines" post are bad behavor, along with the whine police posting to none whines.

I have been arguing one thing.
The choice of words discussion was only a side issue pertaining to one post of mine in the thread. I consider that resolved, and we agree.
Apparently we are still at a disagreement over my main issue despite the good dialoge and discussion.
Once again you use the term luftwhiner. This time to me it seems you mean it as a label and not just out of arguments sake. You say they are problem? Who is the luftwhiner hitech? Why arent all the guys like funked and lazs and fester and all other loudmouths on the BBS? Why dont you call them ****** whatever.
And I dont see how the problem is caused by people asking questions, everyone does this and whines and squeakes no matter what they fly. But I think we all can see which group gets the most attacks for their concerns.
My basic argument is this. Everybody whines. The group most clearly targeted for harrasement are LW people who whine, called luftwhiners. Why are they attacked as you said?
And again regarding your use of the term luftwhiner to describe people. I suggest you read over Kweassa's summary of the impact it has once more, and reconsider your choice of words. He put it perfectly.
Here is the main point from Kweassa.
"Grun's whole point is your the most powerful man alive in these boards, and if you aren't careful you can influence a lot of people in the wrong way.
Somebody questions about a plane, or has doubts about it, brings it up in a discussion. Then, someone else bops in and comments "that's why people refer to you as a Luftwhiner".
..and you expect people to see that comment as a neutral one?
Even if it is "not the case" for you, it's "a case" for other people when those words come out of your mouth. Sure, it's not your fault how others think about what you said, but it doesn't hurt to be more careful in sensitive issues. "
