But it's not the "troll the VX forum because I'm upset about Elevate" forum, either. The way I see it is if they're making the same post in 3 different threads and have a username of "VXSux", they're trolling, not engaging in serious discussion.

As I said, I largely agree with the poster's point that Elevate isn't a particularly good deal for the frequent flier (back before all the details were announced, some other poster said Elevate would be a watered-down version of Rapid Rewards- this sounds about right in hindsight). Seeing as one of the favorite pastimes of FT participants is to get good deals on mileage, I don't EXPECT a lot of VX fanboi-ism (similar to how WN gets ripped a lot here). What positive feeling there will be will be based on how VX flies their airline and how they treat their customers who fly them, not on "well, they sort of suck, but I get enough mileage every year from these guys to fly a better airline to Europe or Asia..."
