I've looked in to this and it seems all the remarks have been edited and I have no direct knowledge of what was said - other than I have to agree with dgolds and the others if indeed the remarks were offensive and it seems they were. I don't have to have seen them to see their impact on our community. I'll deal directly with members involved in this and let this serve as yet another reminder: IF you think that FlyerTalk is far too large for comments that insult the ethnic, religion and other political views of members to matter or be detected, then you and I will have a very short discussion in where your next place on the Internet will be - since I can tell you it won't be here. This message should be simple to understand: Stay on the topic of travel.
Thanks dgolds and others for your concern and let me turn to that right now.
