What is that "critical issue" which you think has been the proverbial 800-pound gorilla in the room for the past few years?

For me the critical issue is that FT TOS violations relating to personal attacks/personal animosity don't persist. But that issue is certainly not restricted to just OMNI, for I see plenty of such persist even in certain miles & points forums on this board too. [And most of that seems to have little or nothing to do with OMNI.] I otherwise like that FTers have a place on FT to discuss (or read) about things other than points and miles -- including politics and religion -- even if people are not in universal agreement.
