Civility is all well and good until someone posts a picture of another flyer onto the FT board and complains about something in the photo. I am reminded of a deleted post of a picture of someone sleeping in a Boardroom. It just seems like some FTers like to get overly critical of their fellow passengers and hide behind the good manners/civility curtain.
I, for one, speak up if I have a problem with someone's behavior to the point that I would feel the need to post a shameful photo of them. I have called out other flyers for inappropriate language, loud talking on a redeye, and jimmy legs (hate the jimmy legs when it results in them tapping their seat and thus making my seat shake).
I mean, where one person seems flossing as crossing into bad manners territory, another FTer sees sloppy dress in FC is inappropriate. I just get sad reading criticisms when the truly civil thing to do is to speak up.
