In reviewing various threads trying to get caught up after a brief time offline, it seems that there's again been a substantial increase in bickering and a (related?) decrease in information sharing!

What is the problem after all?

I hope Boomer won't mind my quoting him here!
"My best suggestion to Catman and everyone else? Treat Flyertalk for what it is, a place to share ideas and comments, no more, no less. We aren't talking about world peace here, we're talking about miles for heaven's sake. This isn't life and death, lets not treat it that way."

For heavens sakes, perhaps we can remember that the boards are/should be a great place to learn and to be somewhat playfully entertained for 24hrs/day. Specific personal feelings regarding one anothers' differences should NOT be discussed online in FT, IMHO.

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Not a "new" suggestion!

As Randy noted after the last ugly episode that became so egregious as to lead to deletion of the thread:

TALK TRAVEL

Were talking airlines, hotels, miles and points! Perhaps's we can maintain some focus and have threads dealing with these specific issues and NOT bearing remarks about posts and posters!

Let's PLEASE ALL let the other silliness go!

We will surely ALL benefit!
