What Plats don't understand about Silver's, is that our blood pressure doesn't quadruple when that magic email doesn't arrive 4 days out. We don't check our email every 2 minutes thereafter, waiting for the magic email. The uncontrollable sweat doesn't start pouring down our faces as we enter the car for the drive to the airport, still without that magic email. We dont engage in desperate gate flirting, and anger doesn't consume us when the door closes and the realization hits that we got what we paid for.
What lowly scum Silvers don't understand is that we lofty Platinums don't check the FlyerTalk web site every two minutes to see who has responded to our latest post so that we can issue another silly characterization of lowly scum Silvers!
If Platinum members are so sick and disturbed as suggested (i.e. with the sweat, magic email withdrawal, etc.), perhaps they are more deserving of an upgrade than someone with a mere tweaked back!
