I asked him to post it here after you and others came down hard on the guy in EP Off Road for an effort that was fitting of someone who'd been in the hobby for 12 months. There was no need for so many to be so aggressive with him, he's was only trying to be helpful. If you think people were being amicable, then go back to the thread and read up on the number of times he had to justify his views and consider how few gave him a pat of the back for trying.

There's no gain in our hobby by making people feel lessened, he believed in his views and did it in the best interests of others, whether perfect or not, it was still a good effort.

Off Topic note to OPS:
I was given a 1 year infraction for getting caught up in politics when I was much better versed with the situation, personally knew the people causing the issues and was moderating at the user level. There was no evidence I was adding to the escalation of the issue and the Aussie moderator just shot first and asked questions later. So if you would please look into it for me I'd appreciate it.
