The emotional sentences you are refereing to were written before we decided on 
the official statement,
due to a lack of such statement at the time. Later on I added the parts from 
the official statement, leaving
the old parts online. 

Reading those lines now does indeed look quite emotional. All that it needs is 
a little edit from someone who
cares. James for example already spent some time cleaning up most of the 
emotional stuff to something less
emotional  :) 

This might be an example of a wiki article that requires 
special-group-permission for edits...

Once this "updated" official statement is released, I'll make sure to update 
the wiki (correctly this time). The wiki
does come up high in Google, for example: 
http://www.google.com/search?q=flightprosim I believe this is (one
of) the reason(s) that it is now being sold under a new name...

Well, being so open, the wiki also has a lot of "moderators". So complete 
rubbish is taken out pretty quickly. With
important pages being locked, those abusive articles won't be very visible (due 
to the nature of a wiki). Without being
referenced in other articles, you'll have to put quite an effort in searching 
for it...
