===================Old Bob, The Purist - You really should get your facts straight prior to denigrating someone in public. There is at least one error (some minor, others major) in each of your statements and replies. Why did you leave RAS_Prime? Too civilized? [no need to reply as these are rhetorical questions] Wait ... do I hear OB typing? Can't help yourself? [more rhetorical questions]
===================

Bump before lockdown.

> > ===================> Dood, you possibly meant Dude, or you could possibly be a production manager for a film company and working on a budget. I chose to leave RAS Prime because of the moderator objecting to a post about Santa. Actually a was sent a video that showed Santa getting into his glider preparing for the journey on Christmas and being towed by a Super Cub, it is a fantastic video I would suggest every glider pilot watch the video, it is very well done and humorous. That was the reason that I made the post that Santa Doesn't Fly a Motorglider, purely comical!
> After a couple of days and some very humorous replies the moderator called me on my private cell# to complain about my post, it was almost laughable, how could anyone find a post like that offensive. Mr. DeGrinch went on and on about the post, almost like a rabid dog attacking prey. Mr. DeGrinch stated that he had received complaints about the post and when I asked him who would complain about such a benign post he stated that it was top secret.. I informed DeGrinch that he was way off base and controlling and interpreting content, what a sad way to moderate a forum. I also informed DeGrinch that I was no longer posting on RAS Prime at some point one must have a bit of backbone and not comply with such WOKE venues.
> For your information I have received many calls from glider pilots all over the country sharing my same views and opinion of RAS Prime. Even prior to this event work had begun on a new site that will be much more inclusive and allow one to view post within a specific category instead of the format that has been used on RAS and RAS Prime, those forums are Google and many people including myself really don't like Google because of the way they accumulate information from individuals. The future site will more than likely be XenForo based community platform that provides premium user experience and security, just hold on, as I told Eric, it will blow your socks off. There will be no moderator telling you that he doesn't like Santa! Old Bob, The Purist
