There are civilized and tactful ways to disagree and argue your position, and then there are spit-throwing finger-pointing groundless accusations such as the one you "plus oned." You know very well the difference between the two, don't you?
Everyone here most certainly has every right to question and decide on their own, but I doubt that you behave in real life as you do behind the cloak of anonymity here. So, I question your integrity.

That is techinically correct - perhaps it isn't nice and isn't what you would like to see, but it is technically correct.
I hardly think you can fault someone for agreeing with that

To refresh your memory, I quote the "plus oned" post, originally posted by MR_MAMA, below, with a few edits:
<...> However, it seems you were on the power trip not her.
<...> it seems to be that you were pissed from the start that there were NRSA in BE and you were not allowed.
From there the attitude started and doubt anything anyone could have done would have made it a pleasant flight for you.

I doubt that. I have developed a rhino-type bullet-proof skin to take anything personally.

Post the entire quote (see below - emphasis added) - this is the crux of the point that was "plus one'd"
Sorry you had such a difficult time and if she was rude, then you should write it. However, it seems you were on the power trip not her.
You know that you are not allowed in Business Class if not flying it. Period, end of story. You were there in there at boarding which regardless of your reason is not allowed and when she asked you go back to your seat you had to say your wife did not get a PDB? That is something your wife should have discussed with her, not you as she was the passenger. There are two sides to every story but it seems to be that you were pissed from the start that there were NRSA in BE and you were not allowed.

I do give you kudos for stepping up and handling the medical situation, I admire that for any medical professional to do.

And you know that how? You were not the one who "plus oned" it, but your position is very clear. Duly noted.

Maybe it’s just me, but any OP who has to return to a 49-post thread 13 (oops, now it's 14) times to challenge or explain is trying a bit too hard, IMO.
You won a few hearts and minds, you lost a few. You tried to help a passenger in need…you did good.
Personally, I think you ought to call it a day here. YMMV.

"honey, we don't need to buy BE for the other two tickets. I am Diamond....they will probably just let me up there if it is an empty flight and they see we have kids."
If I was in paid BE and saw this, it would annoy the living hell out of me.
