If the fart happened on a Delta plane (instead of on an "diverted" AA plane) would Rene have blogged about it first? Discuss :-)

HATE and BBB...smh.

Wow. You guys are all pathetic. I hope none of your clients, bosses etc are reading this or ever see your names attached to this thread. It's so petty. Reminds me of a person who feels the need to call people out on the internet.... Do you people seriously have nothing better to do? I don't know what you people do for a living but I can guarantee that if I ever had the opportunity to do business with any of you I would refuse based on the continued childish behavior exhibited on this thread.

Jack,

I have nothing better to do. This is really pretty good.

Best,

Joe

it's childish behavior to post about a business that is rude and petty in response to engagement from customers?

We're talking about a blogger who attacks people who post comments that are not rude or inappropriate at all. If you go back in this thread, you'll see that this thread does serve an important purpose. Based on the blogger's reaction to feedback (not my own), I stopped patronizing his business. Others have as well.

This isn't some poor defenseless person with a personal blog. This is a businessman who goes on tirades against customers, including those who make polite, reasoned points in response to blog posts. There is one bully here.

Rene is out with his big scoop that Delta will no longer allow spend on an Amex card to waive the MQD spend requirement or Diamond Status. He has been soliciting everyone to write Delta and Amex to head this off.

Rene does not have the best track record with predictions but this one may happen. If it does I think one of the biggest casualties will be Rene. What in the world would he have to write about if you can't mileage run and get an Amex waiver to experience the bliss of Diamond Medallion? [I say bliss of medallion somewhat sarcastically as I have watched the benefits drift away over the years].

I can understand why he is so worked up about the possible changes...it may be the end of his blog!

As noted 2 weeks go in the thread on that " As usual, Rene has difficulty in separating the personal from the professional --" http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/delta...then-read.html

Yesterdays blog post had this:

Normally ~20 unique readers per day come to the blog from Delta computers (I can track that, yes). But for that post well over 100 looked that one over.
