So there is such a thing as bad press?

What a tragedy. How are you ever going to replace that well-written, valuable content?

A great deal of truth about your blog has been written here. Much of it clever and amusing to boot!

Certainly more clever than using poor syntax and grammar as a brand component...@:-)

I think Rene's blocked more people on Twitter than every other points & miles blogger combined.

Following a Twitter account does not necessarily mean that you support it. #JustSaying

Notably, Renespoints only follows people with the highest ethical standards, such as "Senior Affiliate Manager @bankrate Credit Cards" and "17 year old luxury travel blogger "

And " @FakeUnitedJeff ‏ " because parody accounts are okay to follow as long as they don't hit too close to home...

Wow... that's pretty funny. I'm shocked and really disappointed he would support such a cruel and hateful account

Rene's Blog - Deletes Comments?

Hello All!

I tend to disagree with many in regards to the Delta MQD waiver. I believe Diamond should be earned the hard way. I posted some comments on Rene's blog that obvious disagree with Rene. I guess since he is so passionate about getting his free Diamond status he deleted my comments... either that or my comments just never appear, or my internet is malfunctioning only on his blog. Does this happen to anyone else? I think in a good comment section there is back and forth and forums and BLOGs are useless without different opinions. I know many people who fly Delta read it.. has this happened to anyone else?

Were their comments any of the following:

"I will not tolerate any abusive language, hate speech or attacks on me or the blog or any other readers."

Don't really care one way or the other but morbid curiosity took over.

Yes, Rene frequently blocks perfectly appropriate and civil posts. Worse, he selectively edits others without indicating that the original authors' words have been charged.

Rene fancies himself an "insider," if not the foremost "expert" on Delta, and therefore won't accept any dissension from his narrative. He's often flat out wrong about the facts, but when politely corrected, he censors the comment.

There's much more knowledge to be found on FT. No need to read that BA blog, except perhaps for entertainment.

The new home for this discussion is now the External Miles and Points Resources forum, where it will most likely be merged with the aforementioned discussion.
