Last I saw some comments about his United ban pop up was a few months back, when Lucky opened the door to it himself. He was on his sanctimonious soap box about the ongoing AAdvantage shutdowns, lamenting the supposedly unethical behavior and slamming the folks who were locked/shutdown. Aside from the fact that he didn't have all his facts straight and that the AA situation is more nuanced than some have portrayed it, his words were basically the same type of criticism that people have had of his United fraud. He shouldn't have been surprised that people called out his hypocrisy.

I'm not sure why a new reader can't make up their mind about an author's character and credibility any more than a longtime reader.

Of course he is free to delete comments on his business website - and others are free to discuss his business on other venues if they like.
