No one is “rushing to re-enter the Forum” if wrongly banned for a year and a half. The outside email complaints and technical sharing were a natural corrective. In fact, there was much more AWE content shared outside than what was allowed on the Forum. Pierre can attest that a lot of AWE news never did appear here, because of censorship, and he did not forward any of the blocked content.
Where is Doug’s fully copied (dates, headers) reference for “lies”? Again, to the best of my knowledge, Doug was not censored like I am, but early on some very profane emails by him were put in a public folder because JoeF was trying for Forum where school children would not be exposed to angry profanity. I believe that these emails are publicly archived, and that in no way were Doug’s AWE ideas ever suppressed. JoeF soon gave up moving Doug’s crudest posts, as the social Web became viciously trolled.
I never have Moderated any AWE Forum, New or Old, but Rod did briefly Moderate the Old Forum, but was so heavy-handed, including with Doug, that he was removed. Now Rod seems content with how Windy Moderates.
Neither Doug nor Pierre can produce any censored content in evidence against JoeF, ut I can produce ample evidence. It is not enough to denounce the Old Forum, with no documentary evidence of Censorship, while embracing Censorship here. Doug should have Censored posts in his Sent Box, if they exist, and Pierre should understand the moral need for such evidence.
Technical Censorship on any AWE Forum is unacceptable. What is most being censored is the technical divide between AWEurope ventures raising millions by claims that are not being debated on merits, and the following emergent AWE paradigm, with both EU and US supporters, highlights as follows:
- Kite Networks as a key scaling strategy v Single Kites on Single Anchors
- Crosswind-Pumping as covered in USP3987987fig5 v Reeling Cycles
- Dynamic Stall Cycles as the primary pumping mode
- Dynamic Soaring principles apply in the Kite Window
- EM Theory as critical mathematical-physics of Power Kite Pattern Flying
- SS Power Kites as having highest power-to-mass and lowest MSE
Even if JoeF had censored, he was not anonymous, but an acknowledged expert in Kites beyond what his accusers ever will attain. The issue here is not revenge by Doug, Pierre, and Windy, for unproven allegations, but whether AWEurope will continue to allow extreme technical censorship favoring AWEurope insiders, by an unqualified sock-puppet, in public venues under direct and Member control, including IEA T48.
There was nothing wrong with my posts, deliberately posted to “Lounge” to evade Windy’s claim they are not engineering related. I have done nothing wrong. Windy, whoever he is in real life, is the wrongful agent. The “Quandary” is over Windy Skies pretending to be qualified as “coach” in AWE discussion, when he himself does not seem to have the expert standing or temperament needed.
