I don't know Pat.
I just checked the FAA FB page and could not find your comment. Maybe they deleted it? Maybe the now have it on a "special" list reserved just for trouble makers.

Let's do it! I can't get on FB at school, but as soon as I get home they'll be getting a piece of my mind.

I think that this is an excellent idea! Be sure to let them hear it on all the other social medias out there too!
I'd like to use this to get their attention. https://www.bbb.org/scamtracker/us

Whilst I'm not affected by the new legislation due to being on the right side of the pond, I found some of the comments left on the FAA's FB page a bit snooty in attitude towards multi rotor models, as if the authors of those comments held multi rotor flight in very low esteem. You can argue the toss all you like about the validity or merits of the new registration scheme but one or two of the comments I read are more likely to do more lasting damage than what the FAA has or is going to do. It shows division within the hobbyist community and also some sense of elitism too. Those who wrote such pearlers as this should be ashamed of their attitude and they certainly need knocking down a peg or two:
Yes there is a difference between the types of models we fly, but we are all supposed to be part of the same community. It smacks of passing the buck to me. I've seen fixed wing model pilots taking stupid risks, flying FPV without a spotter, flying too low and over people etc. etc. The idiots aren't just attracted to multi rotors. Even if they were, how many of those idiots will end up bored of their "toys" and move on to fixed wing etc. I'd be willing to bet it would be enough to worry the elitist and snooty gits!

StuartPB - You are 100% correct! This is no time to divide ourselves with finger pointing.

Just don't... flood the page. The last thing we want is them getting mad at us for spamming their website.
