You are a singular, not a plural.

Please keep in mind the public perception on this very issue that triggered a wave of heated discussion back in November 2014 and later a passed motion in this January (with 2 No-votes):

Completely agree this is simply score settling.
Agreed, I cannot comprehend why this is a public thread. Inasmuch as the outcome of the vote is announced as soon as a majority is made I do not care what the remaining members do or when they do it.

Well said. There is a bias in favor of high velocity discussion forums, but one of FlyerTalk's strengths is it breadth.
So very true.

Our Religious Travelers Forum is a shining example.
