Perhaps you're unaware what "Ambassador" on FlyerTalk means. I don't have any "superpower", I'm merely someone that has volunteered to help with the upkeep of one forum (in my case, the New England forum). I can't edit anyone's posts (that's for a moderator), I have no control over what the Talkboard does, I am merely a member that cares about all of FT in general, and specializes in one forum in particular. If you want to become an ambassador yourself, all you have to do is ask the Community Director to become one. All I did was ask to be of help to the community. No need to pass an exam or be anything but a member who cares.
In this, the Talkboard forum, I am merely a member representing my own opinion(s). You can feel free to respectfully agree or disagree with my opinions, as I have respectfully agreed or disagreed with all of the ones stated here. Not once have I said that anyone didn't have the right to express their opinion on the name of the forum, I just simply don't agree, based on my admittedly rather outside-looking-in view since I'm not a regular there. Ultimately it is not my decision nor yours to decide the name, it is up to the moderators, TalkBoard, and Community Director. I trust their judgment, and IMHO in the almost 11 years of time I have spent here on FlyerTalk, very few decisions have been made without careful thought and consideration for
the betterment of FlyerTalk on the whole. Do I agree with every decision? Of course not. But I trust that the ones making them are at least trying to do the right thing in the global picture with the decision.
That said, I'm bowing out of the conversation so that those who do have the power to make such decisions can look through and decide what (if anything) to do. IMO we're all beating a dead horse on either side at this point. If I ruffled a few feathers by stating my opinion, then my apologies. But I stand behind my position and opinions as I'm sure you stand behind yours.
