RCHHMP: Royal Canadian High Horse Mounted Police

Overview
This term refers primarily to a poster who posts in the Air Canada / Aeroplan Forum on FlyerTalk. The term is a play on the term Royal Canadian Mounted Police, the federal and national police force of Canada. This term RCHHMP refers to a poster, referred hereinafter as "RCHHMP Constable", whose majority of posts are pretentious and attempt to paint themselves in a superior and self-righteous light (hence, "High Horse" and their "morality policing" of others) over others by indirectly generalizing, belittling, shaming, berating, admonishing, or insulting another poster and/or their posts or actions and offer very little with respect to actual contributory or helpful Air Canada / Aeroplan specific information to others.


Predemoninant Characteristics of an RCHHMP Constable
The below encompasses the behaviour, traits, and tendencies of a bona fide RCHHMP Constable. Typically, there is some history involved with this style of posting. Please note that one or few exhibited trait(s) within a one-off post, does not necessarily make one an RCHHMP Constable, but could be deemed as an RCHHMP-style post. It is the repetitive nature of these traits over time that constitutes a poster to be an RCHHMP Constable, or a member of the RCHHMP.

• Non-contributory Posting / Lack of Relevant Posts
A trait of the RCHHMP Constable is that the majority of their posts provide little to no actual information or assistance specific to Air Canada or Aeroplan, travel on Air Canada, their operations, their products, personnel/employees, fare classes, upgrading, seats, in-flight service, Air Canada status, etc. They often exhibit limited to no experience flying on Air Canada, and often have no status with Air Canada, however a small percentage may occasionally fly AC (any cabin), as well as have status.

• Militant Morality Police Meta-posting
Often, without provocation, the RCHHMP Constable shames a poster for their innocuous comments, actions, behaviour, actions, etc. The RCHHMP Constable often "wags their finger" at a poster who complains about something that the RCHHMP Constable deems as insignificant and as a First World Problem (FWP), despite this being FlyerTalk, a forum open for discussion regarding the minutae of all things travel. The RCHHMP Constable often attacks a poster and/or the content of another poster's post with attacks relating to what the RCHHMP Constable deems as moral and/or social code/ethics violations by the poster, with tactics such as shaming, rather than providing actual contributory information especially when the poster has a question or problem. Meta-posting responses can also be in the guise of a generalized, unprovoked comment such as "I feel sorry for you for not having a life due to traveling so much and you must be unhealthy and fat OMG your life is so boring.", despite not personally knowing the poster.

• Non-status Boasting
The RCHHMP Constable often shames others (typically with overarching generalizations and self-righteous overtones) with status by touting their own lack of status and portraying themselves as a superior human being through "I have a better life because those with status obviously have no life" or "being unshackled and free" or "I pity all of you who strive for status" type of remarks.

• Non Sequitur Arguments
During the course of a debate or argument, the RCHHMP Constable introduces immaterial elements to further muddle and deceptively bolster their own arguments, or by "moving the goal posts" to make other posters' arguments seem immaterial. It is often futile to continue arguments/debate with an RCHHMP Constable as they tend to use attrition tactics via such arguments, as well as the below mentioned Ad hominem attacks.

• Ad hominem
The RCHHMP Constable attacks the character, behaviour, and/or post content of a poster, while in the midst of a debate/argument, and often without any provocation whatsoever (i.e. there was no debate or argument at play). This is often done within the parameters of the FT TOC, resulting in implicit attacks.. This can also be associated with the Non Sequitur Arguments trait.
