That's certainly the observation I've made after visiting Fido!

And this is why I like fsxNet. 'The Old Man' is very quick to reprimand
certain attitudes (not that I've ever been reprimanded... ;) ).

Please, don't let the evil within others cause you to stop doing what you
think is good. Ever. This is a lesson that I've had to learn the hard way...

Remember: this is still the internet. Everyone with a keyboard can speak up.
Most of them shouldn't, but they can, and nothing will stop them! There's
just as much stupid on Fido as on Facebook. The only difference is the lack
of meme photos...

Which is what makes fsxNet so popular! Stupidity is strongly discouraged,
here!
