Some of these bloggers are just punching bags here. This Rene fellow must have some really thick skin. Congrats to him on that!

It's amazing how thick a skin one can get by making a ton of money off of peddling garbage.

I understand your wanting to post a link back here for SEO purposes, but are you really so desperate that you break the FT TOS by editing work2fly's quote to add a second link back?

That's just sad.

...and yet you edited my quote and removed the link?

Perhaps the rafter in your own eye....

He's just used to editing other people's comments. I suppose it's what makes his blog so orginialty (or however he describes it)

I don't believe he peddles garbage, but even if he did it sure makes more sense than you peddling garbage here every day for free...

I quoted the pertinent part of your post. I didn't change what you posted as you did to work2fly.

Posts that misquote or mischaracterize other posts or members, or contain deceptive, dishonest or knowingly inaccurate information are not allowed.
Further,

If linking to your own blog, to a blog on behalf of someone, or to a blog of which you are a periodic or regular contributor, you must identify that fact in your post and you must include enough content for the FlyerTalk post to stand on its own without following the link. Do not post repeatedly in a manner that has the effect or purpose of driving traffic to a blog or website.

Exceptions to this rule include:

Linking to a travel program website page containing information relevant to the discussion (such as a ticketing rule or terms & conditions of a promotion being discussed in the thread);
Linking to the websites of established news organizations or to company press releases with details of an ongoing news event (such as an airline or hotel incident). In such a case, merely providing the headline of the new item along with a link to it, without posting additional content, is allowable.
Posts that do not conform to these rules may be deleted and repetitive offenses may subject the poster to discipline.

Get to know the rules. Would hate to see you suspended and be deprived of your participation here! ^

Careful, such talk is not appreciated on the BBB

If so, myself and many other bloggers are now posting about BAcon3. Here is my review called "BAcon Bits": http://renespoints.boardingarea.com/2016/11/10/bacon-bits-interesting-gems-weekends-boardingarea-conference-dc/

That was painful to read. Get a copy editor.

It's funny, I re-read the post and would not change a single word! But thanks for being a loyal reader! ^
