I had to do it... I looked over at the SPG forum and found the quote. Here's the thing: the poster on that thread was seemingly making fun of other SPG posters, not Marriott members, which left me with mixed emotions. As much as I wanted to be snarky back to the snark, I couldn't. The snark was not directed at us.

The thread where this comes from was started by an OP who was upset to have seen nudity in the spa area of a hotel in Europe. The OP was more upset that neither the hotel nor SPG corporate seemed to care about Europeans in Europe doing what Europeans often do. The thread was closed after most other posters turned on the OP. Someone posted:

It would appear the elitism we've seen from some SPG members who post over here is not universal over there.
