First, how is this a technical forum? That's not what I read in the description. It's about all aspects of airline safety, not all of which are technical.
Second, what do you mean by "not a mainstream forum?" It's an open forum, which means that anyone can - and does - join. Because the focus of this site is aviation photography, discussions on airline safety don't get as much attention here as they do on pprune, if that's what you mean by mainstream, but with more sifting through pprune comments you typically find more legit info than you ever would here. Jetphotos has plenty of technical discussion, but it's mostly based on lens types and light conditions.
Certainly, there are several knowledgable people on here, but it's by no means a prerequisite to join, and if you're going to hold up Boeing Bobby as an example of an actual pilot, then I give up.
Your description of how a "technical forum" works, by the way, is straight out of fantasy land. Study it for a year or two? Do some independent research? (i.e. Google a bunch of shit.). THEN you're qualified? Haha. That might be how YOU decided the forum works, but for all the people here with technical knowledge, it shouldn't be necessary, and for those of us without, well, I guess that using your brain and making a thoughtful comment without 2 years of googling makes you a troll.
I don't know, maybe Andy is a troll, or maybe he just speaks off the cuff, but I don't care, when in doubt, don't respond. But your depiction of this forum is way out of line with reality... 'We don't suffer fools gladly here on Jetphotos, oh, unless you mean the 6 million page Polish president conspiracy thread.'
Give me a break.
