It's FlyingFloozie! I just wanted all my F/A pals to know that I was "booted" from the usaviation.com boards for posting notes they didn't agree with. It's a joke! I never posted anything out of board guidelines. Quite frankly, when you have bulletin boards run by pilots, they will do anything to stop a viewpoint that disagrees with them. Here's the letter I received in my email today:

Flying Floozie,
You have been banned from our boards because of we have received dozens of complaints regarding your participation in our forums. Your posts
have become too disruptive -- and it is destroying decorum on our boards.
We site several instances where you try to moderate or curb people and their opinions by posting intimidating responses. You also have been sited for posting chastising remarks when you do not agree with someone's opinions.
We welcome mature debate - we encourage difference of opinions - and we support freedom of speech. However, your posts destroy the opportunity for these things by not maturely expressing your difference of opinions.
There are several other aviation boards that are not moderated - and we will not allow our boards to be ruined like the others.
We sincerely try our best to keep a respectful and tasteful aviation forum on our site -- we make difficult decisions like these to ensure
that the boards do not deteriorate. We are just a few hardworking individuals that sacrifice our time, money, and lives to creating this
free web site for over 250,000 visitors each month.
We hope you understand.
Respectfully,
http://www.USaviation.com - America's Aviation Headquarters
If you aren't a pilot, avoid usaviation.com. They really need to change their name to uspilot.com. I am serious.
