Wow, that is truly sad ... they are making a mockery of people who take
charity seriously and make a legitimate effort to help others.
Well I sure hope that people take a look a the respective communities (pro
sim flight versus FlightGear) ... how long they have been established, the
spirit and nature and intelligence of the discussions and I sure hope that
reality will be obvious. Look at the discussions on the pro-flight-sim
areas which are all about people complaining about being ripped off and not
getting their money back, versus the discussions in the FlightGear areas
(tons of technical development material, fun aviation stuff, etc.)
But in a world where people can say anything they want with no consequences,
you suddenly aren't sure who you can trust. There will always be some low
hanging fruit to pick off, but if we make our best effort and act in a
positive way, we can be proud whatever the result.
