Much closer to "home" than The White House....

Where does calling someone a "Cretin" fall into those standards of tastelessness?

Or "Idiot?"

And calling the person that eliminated Godivas from United flights a "Moron?"

Just wondering.

Those are just from the United forum. I also seem to recall others in other forums that contained more. One to avek00 comes to mind that contained several if I recall.



It's always been my impression that you can't say anything you like here...even if it's true! But you can say anything you like as long as you say it in way that isn't a personal attack on a fellow FlyerTalkers in violation of TOS.

I always thought that the quickest way for Gordon Bethune to stop all the morons and idiots and other insults being tossed his way, would have been to make a post. Then he would be protected by TOS!

But then again...what defines a "FlyerTalker?" I've always considered anyone that even lurks occasionally and that has never registered for posting privileges, to be a FlyerTalker too. Even met couple that had the FlyerTalk tags on their bags!

Call someone a moron out on the street face-to-face...better be prepared to face any consequences. Same here in writing, IMHO. Whether it be from the offended parties, or from the owner of this house (Randy), or from his appointed custodians (Moderators).
