I don’t normally respond to this kind of childish behavior. Maybe we should have a site called “peevish little old ladies that live to argue and whine about whatever”. Then they can argue about snaps, flying downwind, I could have done the contest better but I had a hangnail or whatever they want to argue about at the time.

One of the most alarming things I thought I saw is that there are only a little over 400 members of the NSRCA😳. I hope I saw that wrong.

The behavior on this forum isn’t going to fix that, in my opinion.

I absolutely agree with Rick. The purpose of this forum should be education, promotion, and comradeship of pattern.

First subject - how about the incredible cost of entry into pattern?

This list should be delegated to promoting pattern, provide positive reinforcement for improvement , help and assist our volunteer’s and show some integrity. Broadcasting grievances against the NSRCA or inserting personal attacks in your missive’s should not be tolerated no matter how right you think you are. We would be better off just shutting this list down than let it continue. I find it disheartening, imagine how a new member who joins the list to gain knowledge and discuss Aerobatics interprets it.

If you have a grievance, and it means that much to you, privately cultivate a constituency to plead your case and take it up with your DVP. If your getting no response move it up the chain of command until you do. If your case holds water, the BOD can determine a course of action and correction.

For 2019 lets show some respect and provide some dignity to the volunteers that help run this show as they certainly deserve it.

Sincerely
Rick Sweeney

Mike,

Thank you for this post. I wonder what someone from outside the NSRCA would think of all the rhetoric than has transpired on this list.

This is all really pitiful.  Regardless the mistakes or the consequences, all of these board members, volunteers, helpers,etc. typically do this at their expense of time, money , effort, etc.  they don’t have to help, they normally are just giving back so that whatever activity can even exist.  Do they make mistakes, of course, lots of them, but they deserve consideration, real respect, and kind responses.  Otherwise they go away and the end result is an even worse outcome.  I have done my share of volunteering and helping.  I have received more than my share of unwarranted abuse from those of differing opinions.  It is offensive and oft times without substantial cause.

I want to make clear that the vast majority of the membership do appreciate and benefit greatly from the work and effort that the board or any other volunteer puts forth to make what we have possible.

This could have all been handled better.  We will just lose more that are willing to help because of this mess.

I want to thank all of you that serve to make our pastime possible.

I will probably go off the list. To me it is just negative. It is just so pathetic.
