Unfortunately, these people have made it abundantly clear that when one removes the "Flyer" from Flyertalk (due to travel restrictions), this website becomes just another forum of rather unpleasant individuals.
Thanks for the information. I do have a tendency to tilt at windmills and have been accused of damaging many walls. I don’t (always) link a particular name with a post so I miss trends in their narrative that could have allowed me to scan across and ignore them.
I look at and for hard data and actual trends and try to ignore anything that contains feelings, peer review, observations from a distance, and every state and local edit based on “I have the power to do this.”
Having seen my work / travel load increase dramatically my acceptance of misinformation has reduced equally.
If nothing else is consideration, what happened to personal responsibility and self determination?
I have more concern on catching the “flu” than the virus (I have been chastised for using the original and now inflammatory name). I’m in my mid 60’s, I have a lot of stress in my job, I work long hours, I am eating a poor and unbalanced diet, and I don’t exercise regularly and I am willing to continue until demand for my service(s) changes.
