you didn't refrain yourself from silly comments in the thread in which hundreds if not thousands were involved.
besides, I'll quote (for the last time) Sailor Steve here: don't tell others what they can or cannot do.

I wasn't telling, I was asking. There is a difference. If you want to drag a petty squabble from one thread to another, that's your choice.

Come on everybody, two or more wrongs don't make a right, lets maintain some level of quality understanding here.

Bloody hell not again. Has any year ever been this bad for airline operations before?

Oh, it's been much worse:

1972 is usually considered the deadliest year.

While 2014 is unusually bad, the 1970s and 1980s were substantially more dangerous for air travel, especially when you take into account that there are far more airplanes in the air today than back then.

Damn. Surprised that 72 was the worst. I thought for sure 77 would be the worst since Tenerife happened that year.

Be interesting to see the AirBus-vs-Boeing accident stats for the last few years..?

That was my initial assessment as well
