I must be very popular! I received at least two doezen e-mails within minutes of each other, from fellow FlyerTalkers outraged to hear about my ban. That was even before I got down to the e-mail from Plato90 advising me that I had been banned.

In the six years that I have posted (almost daily) on FT, I have made a serious effort to make each and every one of my posts as civil and polite as possible. I have made every effort to make as many contributions to FT as I was able, and, in the process, have made many good friends around the world, had some truly amazing travel experiences and, as a bonus, accumulated literally millions and millions of miles and points.

I am proud to announce that I was banned by for making an unpopular, but still logical, intelligent and thoroughly workable suggestion that, IMHO, would improve FT moderation. I guess that dissenting opinions are just not allowed on FT these days.


FWIW, in the past six years, I don not recall ever having attack anyone. (Ok, I will admit that I have been sorely tempted, but have managed to resist.)
