He don't like us?! SHOULD WE CARE?
We all know (well, most of us knew) why we are here, and most of us enjoy being here, and WE LIKE US! That is what really matters, and the only thing matters! We are here to help each other to make our travel more enjoyable, to share our experiences. To suggest and put forward ideas to help fellow members, NOT to be told what HE think is best for us. or to tell us what we have experienced was wrong and his is the only right information/ideas/opinion.
I did not show any 'cards', neither did you (iahphx) I could, but we all have a choice to do so or not. Do I want to "enhance" my social "status"? No, I don't, I am happy where I am right now, unlike him, I don't have a huge chip sitting on my shoulder! As far as I can see, some other members 'social status' does not need any 'enhancing', as they are already there!!!
"If you're a self-satisfied frequent flyer who imagines his social status to be enhanced by the grade of airline membership card he carries you may read the Flyertalk forum..." If he indeed wrote this, then it shows clearly what sort person he is, and should be treated accordingly; he treats us with contempt, but it is he who is contemptible.
"He also "stole" the recent post about tourists falling to their deaths at Taishan" - Now, why doesn't that surprise me?!!!
