If you think it'll be because you'll be slandering the vlogger (you've even said they weren't even flying BA and therefore are irrelevant to this thread in this instance) then perhaps you shouldn't be talking about them in this way in the first place.
Buckle up, here we go!As for not naming the individual, I think you’ll find this thread and those of previous years have a habit of not identifying people by name, though a few veiled hints and pointers may be given by either the OP or those following up.
There is no inner circle Illuminati conspiracy, it was my post followed by a handful of replies from people I don’t know and a request from one reply for an ID. My personal reason for not replying to that is that I have only just revisited this thread. It being my birthday today I really do have other things to do.
Opinions matter, I posted my opinion and others replied. It is your opinion that we are rude for colluding with our ‘inner circle code’ and childish for not letting others know what we know. If it was a rapper or actor who certain people could identify but others couldn’t, is that rude too? Or maybe just a difference of interests and exposure to their work?
This thread and those in previous years have a habit of not naming names even when it’s fairly obvious to some who is being referred to, and venturing a little off topic before the ship is steered back to centre.
I see a name has been mentioned, to paraphrase Francis Urquhart, he may very well think that, I couldn’t possibly comment.
^This is a quote from a 1990s political drama I have neglected to name, I apologise profusely if readers don’t get the reference. They could ask and wait a reasonable amount of time for a response, or could do some digging to try and work it out. See what I did there?
Of course, if I wanted to be deliberately rude and childish I would point out that this is an online forum and you need a thick skin, for Pete’s sake it’s the DYKWIA thread, and to stop getting your knickers in a twist.
