I'm actually disappointed that the "Be a Jerk Here" thread was closed down. Although hardly my idea, it provided a useful outlet for people to vent, and I don't think there is anything truly offensive contained in it. Plus, it does contain (a little) travel-related information.

I certainly support ending all the back-biting and sniping, along with encouraging people to talk travel, but locking threads should be done, very, very, carefully, according to standards that everyone can understand, and they should be locked with a luggage lock, not with The Club.
