I am a mere newbie and have only been reading points and miles blogs as well as FT for barely six months. But one does not need to know any FT or FTG history to see such a post as completely inappropriate. Perhaps it was meant as a joke but such jokes are not at all funny. I rather think it was written in such a way that FTG/Ingy could claim it was meant as a joke when it was indeed intended to be just plain nasty. This characterization is insulting and demeaning. The ground rules around here are supposed to prevent such personal attacks, aren't they?
If you don't understand how wrong such a post is, try substituting the word "Greek" with the word "Jewish" or "Black" or any other ethnic identity, whether it be your own or someone else's. Such posting should not be tolerated. At all. Ever.
Mods, can you please step in and make this go away?
Thank you.
