I'm willing to delete those members who don't want to be part of any peace process on FlyerTalk.
So, welcome back comments only, just like the topic title says.

Now I might not be the sharpest knife in the drawer around here, but the words
"So, welcome back comments only, just like the topic title says"
Do not seem to have any ambiguous meaning WHATEVER to me????
So what does
CameraGuy post immediately afterwards in response to Randy?

Why the inconsistency?
You have REPEATEDLY stated that threads about FT'ers such as "Where is ******" or "I miss *****" are not acceptable.
Why is a "Welcome back ****" thread acceptable?
Why are comments by members who do not share the same view not acceptable?
If I start a "I am not glad you are back" thread, is that acceptable?
If not, why is this one?</font>
In the past I have benefited from Randy's generosity of spirit in EXACTLY the same as you have
CameraGuy. I am therefore astounded you would directly challenge next post
Randy's perfect right to ask Flyertalkers to STAY on topic, and his right to ask for
"welcome back comments only" in a thread that you already tried to derail very early on by insisting Moderators close it down.
Seemed a pretty reasonable and VERY clear request to me from
Randy?
Might I suggest that Randy's email is
[email protected] if you or anyone else feel like badgering and lecturing him privately about what you feel he should or should not allow be posted on his own boards.
In the meantime, his message was VERY clear to me at least.
A small handful of (always the same) Flyertalkers have managed to have the several past "Welcome back ***" type threads locked down. I gained the distinct impression
Randy was rather keen NOT to see that occur again and gave fair warning it had better NOT happen. Or else.
This thread is not too far from that mark, and this will be my only post to it.
