Willkommen Tillmann!
We are committed to keeping the Rotary Wing Forum as a place for civil discourse of rotary flight & to not let it descend into a quagmire of insults & raunchy keyboard behavior, something that it had been done previously here, as well as other gyro-related forums in the past.
Consequently, Vance Breese & myself are the active moderators of the forum for Todd Powell, who owns this large depository of rotorcraft knowledge, thanks to many, many contributors over the years. He asked us to do so, after nearly shutting the forum down last year, as it had gone down the hole of profanity, insults, & poor keyboard behaviors by not being monitored for some time.
Since this is his private property, he does not allow politics & religious views & comments to be expressed.
The main reason I see for this limiting of those two topics is that they cause tremendous dissension & bad behavior, as individuals attempt to dissuade others from their positions over to the other "side".
There is a "Off Topic" section of the RWF, way down @ the bottom of the categories listed. There are conversations there that have kept w/in Todd's requirements, such as the recent postings of individual's musical tastes.
Those comments about musical tastes were posted by many different individual members of the RWF, from many different countries, w/out one single comment expressed by others that made fun of, or criticizing musical tastes! Only the sharing of favored musicians made for enjoyable reading & consideration.
First Amendment Freedoms (or any other amendments, such as the 2nd amendment of firearm ownership) expressed in the Constitution of the United States Of America do not apply to private property owned by individuals or corporations, only that the US Government (or local government entities) cannot prevent such free expression of it's citizens here in the US.
Short of threatening violence, such freedoms are still supported.
When in someone's home or business, respect for that individual or business is expected & demanded, or one maybe be ordered to leave, w/in that property owner's rights to do so. Employers may censor the behavior & words of their employees. Owners of homes or land can do the same.
We gladly appreciate views & opinions of all who are interested in rotary winged flight, anywhere on the planet. We even welcome views & opinions from other fields of flight!
