Since only your opinion matters when it comes to thread content, how about providing us with a little guidance here. Please?

Larry, my stance all along has been to try and stop fights breaking out here; I have a pretty consistent record, I hope, of appealing for calm. You have been a valued TOCH member long enough to understand that it has never functioned as a foreign policy forum, despite occasional lapses (some of them mine) and it seems somewhat disingenuous of you now to ask "how are we to know ...?" It is appears equally so to say of me that "only your opinion matters" when you know perfectly well (a) that I attempted simply to moderate, not terminate, the thread and (b) other moderators are available.

I have my own views that may or may not accord with your own or those of François Hollande or David Cameron. I do however have a great affection for Paris and its people and will be visiting the city very soon. There are other forums on which I express my political opinions, I come here to talk about aviation history.
