This screenshot shouldn’t need much explanation, but it does need context.
Karl — along with the wider ZIP VIRTUAL team — is widely known and respected within the flight simulation community for being approachable, helpful, and consistently giving time and effort to support others. ZIP VIRTUAL has always stood for collaboration, mutual respect, and positive contribution to the community.
The behaviour shown here falls well outside those values.
No one is entitled to another person’s time, attention, or immediate response. Personal attacks, harassment, and pressure — especially when someone is spending time with family or simply offline — are not acceptable under any circumstances.
Flight simulation thrives because of people who volunteer their time, share knowledge, and treat each other with respect. ZIP VIRTUAL will always defend those principles and the people who uphold them.
Respect costs nothing. Abuse costs communities everything.
