Baobab, personally I happen to completely agree with you. I'm simply suggesting that these are two different issues.
Anyone who believes/believed this board was a democracy....well, 'nuff said.
My point is that the reality of Flyertalk, Inside Flyer, Webflyer, etc. being our "host" exists. And agree with them or not, they've taken on the expense and responsibility of running the board. I wouldn't ever presume to see this from their position.
No matter if I agree or disagree with them, I can't fight "their" rules on "their" board. And even if I could, I enjoy Flyertalk too much to want to. I'd just rather stay in my position, and get as much out of it as I can.
Am I saddened by some recent decisions? Yes.
Who was it who said something like in a free market of ideas the truth will always win? I forget.
