Are you sure Imp was banned? He's a friend of mine and told me privately he was thinking of leaving SF. This was around Christmas time 2015.

I'm taking someone else's word for it, but easy to check.

Yes he's banned. Check his profile.
 

Thanks. I did look at imp's profile and saw that he was banned. I never thought his posts were objectionable, so it may have been something that he was doing in the background? He would ask me aviation questions from time to time and we did have some good conversations. Never argumentative and was respectful. Call me curious, but I have to wonder what goes on that we never know about. No need to answer, I am just thinking out loud to myself.

Professional women are fabulous at multitasking. Especially those in administrative positions. QS holds a prestigious position in her career. I doubt anyone as intelligent and focused as she, neglects anything. The lady has an executive mind.

I agree, Shalimar, I think QS felt that too many viewed disagreement with their views as a "personal attack"..
..when she would disagree with someone, she would post accurate rebuttal with links and data to back it up, but they on the other hand had no facts to back up their argument so she was then accused of 'personal attacking' or called stupid and twisted over and over, I don't think QS ever personally attacked anyone on the forum.

True.
 
Well, I have always enjoyed sparring with QS, but she is hardly a saint or the font of all wisdom...

She keeps up on politics much better than I do and also knows what she is talking about regarding politics. So I paid attention to her posts on politics.

Maybe she had a good reason to keep up with politics. She's from Chicago, which is notably the most politically corrupt city in America.

Jackie, I read political posts, but do not get involved posting. I can't remember anyone calling her stupid or twisted, unless it was done in PM's.

Well, you just missed it because it was said, many times.

Well, then why not just avoid the political threads? People that insert themselves into the debate or argument do so because it is something that they enjoy and choose to do. I choose not to debate or argue politics, so I just stay out of the Political threads. How hard is that? We do have posters that can't walk away, turn the other cheek or enjoy getting the last word in. What does that accomplish? Well, you can see for yourself the result.

I've notice it's been kind of quiet not so combative lately, seems threads like these bring out the worst in us.

I, too, have noticed the absence of a couple of the most prolific posters. I didn't see anything from them that seemed overly objectionable...but then, I seldom have the time to read through every daily post. AZJim seemed to only be able to make a sarcastic response to those he disagreed with, so he must have gone a bit too far. Imp seemed ok, but then I only exchanged a couple of notes with him about his area around Laughlin, NV. Applecruncher doesn't register any memories. I did, however, kind of wonder about QS. She claims to be a full time working nurse. The nurses I know all seem to be trying to pack 10 hours of work into an 8 hour day....and I often wondered how she could handle such a demanding job, and still be able to spend a considerable amount of time pouring through these forums....something there just didn't add up.

As QS has mentioned many times on here, she is a nurse but now has a position where she sits at a desk - 8 hours. She sits at a computer and can pop into SF during work. However, I doubt she'll ever come back here.
