Jack Axaopoulos Hangglidng.Org Puts freedom of speach to a halt

From AL, I am pissing on your turff, see if this brings the monkey out of the cage

After reading all the crap that you do to people Whacko Jacko, and silent whoever you want Like, Noman, Scott Wise, Tad, Bob and who knows how many others
Who the F do you think you are fool
silent this MF.
Actually, your Hang glidng Org. SUCKS as much as you do fool
Whacko Jacko, you can exclude me from being a part of this f#cked up forum

Take your hang glidng. ORG and Shove IT where the sun doesn't shine, way up in there MF.
freedom of speech : ) I've said all I needed to say, Forever on this F%ucked up site (A Dios) Puto

USHPA is supposed to do this, but they won't set up a forum because they don't want to have to answer to their members. For example, if they set up a members forum, then members might ask how their individual Directors are voting. The Directors don't want to go on record and that would become an instant embarrassment. There are dozens of issues (similar to open voting) where the USHPA leadership would be embarrassed by the questions their members ask. That's why they won't support an open forum.
hanggliding.org is the largest forum we have in the sport, but it's run by Jack Axaopoulos (sg) who decides who can post and what can be posted. He's kicked off several people who've been critical of him (Tad, Scott, Noman and Bob, AL Hernandez are three examples). Because of Jack's temper (and threats) others are afraid to speak out. This is in violation of his own rules which claim that criticising the moderator won't get you banned. Ask Scott Wise (wingspan) about that one or view the topic where many hanggliding.org members asked to have me reinstated.

Hi Al,

Thanks for letting me know about your post here and on hanggliding.org. I happened to capture your post both before and after it was changed and I posted both versions to this topic:

Jack changes another post on hanggliding.org

I don't approve of foul language, but that doesn't give Jack the right to make it look like you wrote something that you didn't. Thanks for letting me know about this example because it's more proof that people can't trust what's on hanggliding.org.

Also, you might have a case of slander (or more technically, libel) against Jack for posting something in your name which you did not say. If you know a good lawyer, please feel free to pass along my own phone number and I'll be happy to share what I know from other cases where Jack has changed people's posts.
