Completely off topic, but you might find it as funny as I did

So a week or so back I saw this post by lebowski2222 and I posted a comment (all in good humor) about how he shouldn't knock Ghana Airlines because they had the 2nd best baggage handling numbers in all of west Africa until one of their baggage handlers was eaten by a lion. It was a joke (possibly not as funny as it sounded in my head, but a joke nonetheless). So the next morning I notice that my comment has been removed and I have the following private message:

RE: Your comments
On behalf of Ghana International Airlines, I can assure you that despite your speculation, none of our employees have suffered fatalities due to encounters with wildlife.
Furthermore, while statistics on lost baggage are not tracked by AFRAA (African Regional Airlines Association), our internal tracking program highlights us to be significantly superior to most of our compatriot airlines in the region. We utilise advanced SITA BRS technology at both our longhaul stations in Johannesburg and London-Gatwick to ensure 100% HBS reconciliation at point of boarding.
I trust you will edit your comments accordingly to reflect the reality of the situation.
Thanks for your understanding.
Regards,
Xxxx Xxxxxx
Sp. Asst. to the CEO
Ghana International Airlines
[email protected]


So I just wanted to formally apologize to Xxxx Xxxxxx and all the employees at Ghana Airlines who have absolutely no sense of humor and were so offended by my post that they decided to throw free speech to the wind and remove my post, and I also wanted others to learn from my mistakes. If I have learned anything it is: don't mess with Ghana Airlines unless you want a stern warning from the special assistant to the CEO.

I will tell you this much, Ghana Airlines has lost a passenger for life!
