No, it is not anything that she said above, I have no problem with that, what I do have an issue with is her focus on what she feels are personal attacks without getting to the root cause of these threads -- the incessant posting by a small number of individuals who think it is their right to hold Marriott's feet to the fire over the lack of comparable suite upgrades for top tier members.

I am quite confident, that as it stands now, Marriott Rewards members who hold no status, or Silver status, or even Gold status could generally care less about this debate. Moreover there are certain high tier members who just don't care about this issue all that much, and have seen that raising it in the way it has been on this board has actually been counterproductive, as now suite upgrades are specifically excluded from these perks!

This board needs some moderation, if for no other reason than that I will no longer feel the need to stand up for those who are too hesitant to do so, for fear of earning a tongue lashing from others whose sacred cow they may have gored.

As I noted in an earlier e-mail to Socrates, he knows my preference and I hope he conveys it to Randy. ^
