Today, from one of the other board members, I received two emails denigrating President Obama.


I hate it when this shit happens.
There's a time and place for political crap, and an old fighter pilot's forum ain't it.
I understand that career USAF fighter pilots tend to be an uber patriotic, very conservative bunch.
That ain't me, obviously.

I already left Ancient Aviators of South Alabama for this very reason.
I sent this email to the guy who started our email newsletter/forum.

"Today I received two emails from one of our board members denigrating President Obama.

If you agree with me that politics has no place in this forum, and that the email list should not be used to disseminate such, possibly you could make that suggestion to the rest?

Thank you."




I am now a member.
Not only that, I'm on 'The Advisory Board'.
WooHoo.
This will look good on my resume'.



The THUNDERFLASH!

7. That sucks

I don't suppose there's ever a positive response to "respect the office of Commander in Chief" appeals, is there?

I'm sure you'd have heard that (and more!) had you spammed them with crap about W...

8. I'm sorry that they pulled this stunt, my dear trof...

Good luck getting them to stop.

I think your response was dignified and right on. They should pay attention, and I hope they do.

Hang in there!
