What is this, preschool? "Johnny's teasing me. Johnny said a bad word. Boo hoo."
The discussion of back to back tickets is nothing new on FlyerTalk, and has been debated by members on several airline fora. So I don't see why one member should "pay the price" for discussing a very common topic. I was not aware that discussing back to back tickets are a violation of FT rules. Perhaps Randy could clarify that for us.
Shareholder, if you had a problem with someone discussing back to back tickets in a particular thread, why not make your views known there rather than starting a whole new discussion on this thread? It would make more sense to me. But what do I know, I welcome a difference of opinions including yours. Perhaps you should adopt a similar attitude and then we could all get back to discussing the various airline topics at hand.
