Randy,
This thread is out of control:
http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/Forum...ML/003619.html
From word one, the original post offering to trade 30k miles. I would have to think that such a request is well outside the scope of what the Coupon Connection was intended for. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it was originally intended to trade items that would otherwise go unused by the original owner, or in many cases, just get rid of them (not even trade 'em, just gift 'em). When you start dealing with enough miles for a free travel award, that seems to me to be outside of where we want Flyertalk to be as a community anyway.
From there the entire thread has degenerated into potential multiple handles and definitely personal attacks, and I do not mean just by the "offender" either. It seems to me personal attacks are not allowed under the new rules, regardless of the perceived appropriateness of such attacks by any parties.
