That's a good point. I would say that I don't personally "bash" anyone. It's not my style.
My above remarks were very specific. If you have a venue like InsideFlyer NL which is openly saying "we want to know your opinion about our focus and direction," and people choose to post here at FlyerTalk instead of InsideFlyer NL... I question their motives.
Sure, post over at IF NL. And then say (over here at FlyerTalk), "I gave all these suggestions and was involved in the focus group... and really tried to be engaged... but none of guys would listen.." OK, that's a legitimate gripe. But, when you are openly requesting feedback on a specific venue (IF NL) and instead people prefer to just engage here. Just seems a bit disingenuous to me, personally.
Not everything is for everyone. All you can do is try to listen to people's concerns. No feedback is being ignored over at IF NL. Do we make mistakes? Have mistakes been made? Yes. Absolutely. I can not re-write history. But, I also know that I am quite open and honest when questioned or approached. Not sure what else I can say.
