About the "selectively" reference. Any of these that have been removed, were done so because community members brought them to our attention. If some exist and haven't been attended to, it's solely because members of the community have not brought them to our attention and thus we might assume they are comfortable with their existence.
While there have been a handful of these to date, we can be thankful that they aren't the norm, which I understand is the new norm for most other boards. We have and will continue to recognize that this is a global board and will not react with only an U.S.-centric mind to things. So far, moderators and members have done a great job, and only a few members have gotten carried away. As most of us know, the extreme examples of misbehavior aren't from members, they are from unknowns who sign up only to post disparaging remarks and disappear. They aren't FlyerTalk.
Your remarks and observations are spot on.
