So here were are, watching everyone get their shorts in a tangle. Why?
In the other thread he wrote:
I know from reading this thread and the other one where similar comments were posted by the same person, that it seems a small number of us didn't take him/her seriously, and just decided to have some fun with it.
Others got all worked up. For what?
Sometimes you just have to step back, forget about who is a troll or not, or serious or not, and do what I did, throw the ball back onto the field.
P.S. The little exchange was lots of fun. I am sure chaptwo, OilyDuck, margauxleah and Prewrappedbacon got it, well, at least they also laughed
Just saying people.....

Year after year I fly 200k+ only to stand in line with E75's, E50's, E35's and the rest of the bottom feeders. I think these are great changes and I am looking forward to giving E75's the finger as I board Zone 1 on my next flight.
Stop complaining and start flying.

Well, people are taking this one a little too seriously, so I think we should get back to the real issue here, is Jupiter a failed sun? Of course not:

The best part of that article is the forum below, those ST'ers make FT'ers look like rocket scientists

Good point. I personally feel that AC should start adding tiers to SE based on spend.
How about SE CHARITY, SAPPHIRE, TITANIUM and the highest category, SSE (super SUPER elite). Then they can start really distinguishing between those who achieve the status through status runs, and those who really add value to the brand. Plus, they could make nice charity luggage tags.

Well, that's just sad. Perhaps you have failed at life's natural meaning. Having kids, a strong marriage are things that are much harder to do for a SE. Most on my team have lost their marriages due to extensive flying. Some have regrets, some don't. I thought about MRing to HKG to hit SE. And then I thought how pathetic that sounds (to me). Life is more than sitting in a tin tube
If that's your thing than great, but I also think that many super elites have "failed" in life. (natural normal meaning)***I am using your definition, not mine. (saying that if one doesn't spend their life flying that they are a failure). That's the glass half full half empty view.
And you are the one who started this judging comment. Enjoy life in a tin tube by yourself feeling superior to everyone else.
What's next? Lets judge income level.
I'd love to have a go at that. See how ridiculous that sounds? Mr. DYKWIA...

This E50K bottom feeder (well middle feeder technically) enjoys breathing your SE air in the J cabin (which I paid for with eups, not cash). It's fresher and scented like the tears of your abandoned children of divorce. Your looks of scorn as you try and move my blue tag out of the way to make room for your garment bag please me.
Love, all the blue tags. xo

Right? I couldn't make up stuff like this! People are worried about their freaking frequent flyer program when other forums are discussing life, the universe, and everything! I for one thanks Aircanadaflyer for inspiring me with his /her dumb ... post to investigate the issue of Jupiter as a failed star, thus finding even dumber asses debating the virtues of whether Jupiter ever has the Kahunas to become a star. Now I know why I hang out here.
FALLING. DOWN. LAUGHING.
That was HILARIOUS and BRILLIANT. Thank you for this.

AC has no idea what they have done losing me as a passenger, I was the only one who (at least on the flights I was on) made your FA's laugh. I think they should offer me unlimited Eups for that alone.

I have a solution to all these problems:
Keep the same stratification (P25, E35, etc), but add one new level. The highest yet.
Lets call it: 'DYKWIA 100MM'.
You can only get it if you are E75K+ (just to piss of SE100K, I included E75K), and there is a thread about a DYKWIA moment in FT forums about you.
It entitles you to all the perks of a SE100K, but you cannot board the plane without a massive placard that says: "NO ONE KNOWS WHO I AM, AND NO ONE TREATS ME RIGHT. QQ"
Of course, you also get -50DKP, if you know what I mean.
