I think that some people don't realize or have forgotten that there is an "ignore" feature on FT. Users can set their preferences to ignore any posts by any user they choose. That way they don't need to "listen to" people who they perceive are chronic complainers, grumblers, Delta-bashers, etc. That way, free speech can continue

used to be a modicum of civility around these parts.... it doesn't seem to exist in that same way anymore. It's not that many of us (and trust there have already been MANY PM's in response to this) who are sick of the moaning. It's fine to have issues but some posters need to learn to present them in a professional manner rather than constantly rant.
This is truly remarkable actually. And included in those who want to avoid DM are some pretty big Delta followers.
And to this point, if I could, I would have tried to avoid DM. I'm not quite sure that the step (50K MQM's is worth it) but I can't, I'm already to GM for 2011...
