Empress is a messanger of extremely valuable information about Air Canada and Aeroplan. Whether it's good or bad news, he tells it like it is and provides a forum for which we can form opinions on.

Lately, Empress has been directed to much grief from the AC forum users over the new 2004 aeroplan program and upgrades inventory. I can't even begin to list all the negative messages/links directed to him just because certain aeroplan members were not too pleased with the changes. Like I said before, Empress is a messanger, he doesn't run Aeroplan or Air Canada (if he does, I'm sure he would have implemented some of our ideas. Heck, the changes affected him just as much as they do with the other users). He CAN'T change the facts as presented to him.

If all the facts are taken into consideration, a lot of people should be barred from the AC Forum over the comments made in the past month. I'm surprised Empress has tolerated all these comments and were still providing the forum with information. Is this how we want to coexist? I thought the AC Forum is supposed to set an example for other forums. Information can flow freely and personal attacks are rare and far between.
