NJDavid,
I disagree with what and how you refer to what Randy has done here. He's done a fine job. With the amount of daily posts here, there will always be a few that are out of line. Let's face it...some people like to argue. And they enjoy doing it because they know that guys like dgolds and dhammer53 and (almost everyone else here), start talking logically.
It's been 6 months since I got here. And there is plenty of new blood coming every day to FLYERTALK. Some of the new posters will "get it", and others will fall into that "certain profile" if you know what I mean.
I used to be a major participant on the AOL Brooklyn boards. That board finally got out of hand so I left. Everyone on that board contributed to the self-destruct.
On FLYERTALK, the % of people in self-destruct mode are very few. So I guess (IMHO), we should be happy.
If everyone woke up one morning, and they were the same race, color, religion etc., etc., by 12 noon they'd have something to fight over.
It's not a perfect world folks. Get used to it.
Dan
