A comment on “We are left with no choice but to shut down Flytenow”. Parent comment

No I was making a comment about the OP saying never to fly to a destination without an IFR qualified pilot. Proper planning and weather monitoring makes VFR completely fine, to say never to fly anywhere without IFR is absurd. Especially coming from someone the HN crowd.

I think it's a valid opinion. Weather changes suddenly. While "never" may be a bit too absolute, I think it's wise to prefer an IFR qualified pilot when one is available.

"Especially coming from someone the HN crowd."

I think you're venturing into No True Scotsman territory with that statement. The "HN crowd" is pretty diverse.
