I think it was a bold step the f16 class took to air their debates and allow others in and show what an OPEN minded class they are ,it was never going to be an easy route , you would have to be naive to think so .

now unfortunately , as things haven't worked to plan the OPENESS has withdrawn .F16 have changed face with a keystroke .

The fact that the debate on weight in some peoples minds was counterdestructive should not have forced them to remove the thread, if let to run long enough perhaps something good would have evolved from it ,
as it see it F16s have evolved from debate and arguement in open forum,for better or worse , (in my mind better ) its a shame F16 have abandoned this concept just because they couldn't deal with adverse comment and resorted to censorship.

As to lambast other countries with paranoid accusations I reckon thats more worthy of censorship (not that I suggest it )

If F16 want to show they have balls they should take the theme back on board and run with it , perhaps keeping minds open and considering their response to adverse comment a bit more carefully before posting .

or you could always remove my post , who would know ???
