Indeed, and *that* is the key point that some people are missing.

You need to learn to look outside of your own 'immediate bubble' sometimes and appreciate what impact the above has had on others, not just think of yourself and your desire to discuss what *you* think should be discussed.

We will gladly "move on" and "grow the fuck up" when a completely clean slate has been made, and crucially, which involves every single last piece of abusive remark aimed at AoS. myself, and some of the mods and members here from the site that can't be named, together with a promise from those in charge there now that none of that will occur again (from others, out with of the deceased RD).

Only when that happens will the ban on discussing NVA gear be lifted, and we can all move on. RD may be dead, but the bile and abuse, aimed in this direction by others and him, contained on his forum, is still alive and kicking in the archive.

Therefore, some folks here need to consider that fact and let it sink in!!!

Marco.
