Your post was pretty clear and nowhere did you imply what you were accused of upthread. Thread title is "Want to be a blogger?". Not sure what drove the snark and publicly criticizing you for being a poor Sr Moderator/role model over one post. And people wonder why FT has a reputation for unfriendliness and attitude!

Anyway there seems to be an increase in blogger platforms or at least publicity of those opportunities, and not just in the FFP world but other areas of interest that I follow. Though especially in the miles and points arena (which I separate in my mind from general travel blogs), I think we've already reached oversaturation in my opinion. How many different people can write about the same CC "amazing deal alert", mistake fare, or pictures of hot nuts in F? Sure one can add a slightly unique twist but mostly the differentiation is superficial at best with most.

I personally vote to send oliver2002 to the gallows on account of both writing something slightly off topic in an internet forum and possibly insinuating criticism of a blog on the "external miles and points resources" - a subforum meant to a sanctuary from such criticism.

I'm sure this vote will be unanimous.

Shame on oliver2002 and may his death be slow and painful.

Second, I believe it's time to start a wiki outlining different peanut posts in different F products.
Great idea, yes, but credit is due to 84fiero.
