Just let it go, Glenn.

avek00 is going to be avek00. United screwed him and now he takes his revenge by scewing United in the United Forum.

Many have said "just ignore him" and I pretty much have taken that advice to heart. I've tried to rationaly debate him, but usually he ignores me for others who prefer to just rise to his bait.

He seldom has anything of value to add to discussions outside of Continental, so use your inate "power of filtering" and ignore any comment he makes you take offense with. He'll either get bored and stop making them, or we'll become so adept at ignoring him, it will be like he did get bored and stopped making them.

We could "fight fire with fire" and go into the Continental forum and making random snide comments about Continental on every thread, but why play the hypocrite?

In the end, smacking him around makes us look as stupid as him and does nothing but force the moderators to close threads that had legtimiate dialog going on.

Banning avek00 from FlyerTalk is not the answer. Censorship is never the answer. I once made a dumb**** snide comment on the American forum (an airline I have never flown) and was rightfully called on it by JonNYC and a few other regulars.

In addition to avek00's "work" in UA and AA, there appear to be other brouhahas going on between certain parties in the Air Canada and Star forums, not to mention the latest thread on "what to do with doc?"

Ya just have to live and let live, people. In any community, there will be disruptive elements. If it gets too extreme, there are "laws" (the ToS) to address it and "enforcers" (Randy and the admins) to mete out punnishment. But I really don't see avek00's actions warranting anything more than our neglect to reply to them.
