I think it will be interesting to compare the results of this motion with the results of the last TB's motion on this issue.
In any case, as I said before, if folks think that it's rude to express disagreement then we ought to call FT the rudest place on Earth, since people come here to have healthy disagreements about everything from the best seat on a 767 to what compensation is 'owed' when a headset in business class is inop to the 'primary job' of a flight attendant to the best use of 50,000 Starwood points to the mental capacity of the man in charge of the TSA
.
But I maintain that to intellignetly disagree and provide alternate perspectives is neither rude nor badgering. OFTMFD.
As for whether this is the place to draw the line, I guess I (obviously) don't see that distinction. Different posters care about different things on FT. What may be a trivial matter to one poster may be perceived as a 'colossal blunder' by another poster. So long as the TB exists (and it does indeed exist at the pleasure of Randy) all posters deserve to have their voices heard and their perspectives represented.
