I applaud your efforts of being brave Lewis and making a statement. I would not say that we are bad people because we enjoy flying. Some of us have viewed this as a hobby and we have not had bad intentions with the exception of trying to get upgrades on a $100 weekend fare.

Even though I will be flying less, I will continue to fly. It will not be as fun doing mileage runs anymore. When airlines were making profits, delaying us at gates for hours on end and not providing effective customer service; mileage runs seemed like our way of getting back at the airlines for canceling our flights, changing their FF programs with little or no notice, taking away our SWUs, etc.

But all in all, remember that we provide revenue to the airlines. We are a collection of strangers with interesting names that either show our hobbies or interests or our loyalty to a particular airline or hotel program. We are a community and I was touched to see people whose handle I recognized, email me to see if I was alright in Washington.
