Do I believe that is how most people, or even more than a very small number of people, got their status? Of course not, but that's how preposterous it sounds when MR LTP are wrongly demeaned. We are not your enemy. Most of us had no or very few cc nights and could qualify with well over 750 nights even if those are backed out. Rollover nights only existed for a few years. We are not your enemy. If you read through the boards most of us think that an SPG Plat with over 750 nights should qualify for LTPP in the new program. SPG members throwing us under the bus with this thread and the post above makes that support difficult. You can object to the unfairness of how SPG LTP >750 are being treated with our support or you can fight us for no reason and lose that support. Rallying against MR LTP, who have no decision making authority, offers a potential explanation for why the PTB treated SPG LTPs so poorly because we see the SPG LTP being so needlessly nasty.
