Dave your totally right if I wanted to persue legal action it would be wise not to talk about it on the forum. In which case Its not worth my time or effort to even persue it that far. ADA has record of it

DAVE thats was a sweet gesture about the tickets, it shows that your geniune.

Edited for reasons of misunderstanding, for more info please email me directly THX

Ernest --

I am very glad that your English has improved considerably as I now can finally somewhat understand you. In light of your being able to now write an intelligible sentence, I formally withdraw my issues with you and apologize. However, next time, it would be better if you were to clarify your problems with Marriott, as well as your posts herein, before sending them for all to read, and, apparently, misconstrue.

In addition, although you agree with me that such spaces ought to be reserved for those who need them, and as you will note above, I specifically considered the elderly, so of course, someone who suffers from COPD, and the like would be included, you nontheless take a seat in an exit row on an aircraft, despite suffering from shortness of breath. I am sorry to say, that that action of yours endangers everyone, as people who cannot move easily, for whatever reason, should nto be sitting there. Your disability is further maginified by the fact that if the O2 tenison of the plane is diminished, you may have an even greater time of moving quickly. Therfore, your actions in the parking lot and on behalf of the disabled, notwithstanding, your actions on the plane are not in keeping with the cause and the people you champion.

Nevertheless, that being said, I hope that you will defeat the malignancy that you suffer from. I know that they are long odds, but I am pulling for you.

Doc thanks for the feedback I sometimes have trouble walking distances, and air quailty has some play in it too. I never thought of it being a concern for sitting an erow, but having worked for ramp ops for HP years ago I always believed my experience would be sufficent. If I stop and think, yeah your right I should leave erow for someone else, I havent sat in an erow for awhile since Ive been using status but next time Im thrown in coach I will think twice before asking for an Aisle erow. Thanks for allowing me to see it from your prospective!

Ernest --

And, Thank you for allowing me to see that you are indeed, the type of person that you wish others to see you as. I have had a number of difficulties with hotels, airlines, etc. from time to time, and I have been told that I write a pretty good letter of complaint. If you ever need to have one written on your behalf, and I have sufficient time, I would be honored to help you.

I am sure that our colleague, Dave M, would do likewise, as he has a wonderful writing style.

Dave --

Ever consider becoming an attorney? You would be a natural!

Regards to all.

I am brand new to this bulletin board, so everyone please forgive me, if I have mispelled anything, and the fact that I am not an English professor.
I just hope I am not attacked the way that ernestb was attacked.
As a newbie I can not understand why other users are doing research about ernestb, what his disabilities are, and if he really is a doctor, where he works, and why his grammar is so poor.
DaveM gave some excellent advice,but all that research on Ernest's background was uncalled for, if another user felt such a strong need to know so much about him, they should have emailed him, instead of posting it in a public forum.
I am new here, and I sense I will be attacked, simply for having an opinion.
I have found some excellent advice, and ideas at FT, it would be nice if the personal attacks are kept at a minimum.

As a Marriott user without any disabilities, I do not have any complaints about Marriott, but I do see how real Ernest's complaints are. You definitely should edit your letter, and send it once more. The advice I have received from my friend (he is a writer and editor)when I send complaint letters, is that I should always close a letter with the resolution I want, and what would make me happy. Even though you feel there is no way that Marriott will make you happy simply give them the opportunity to take action and try, even if at least to get your money back for that stay.
Recently I wrote a complaint letter to National, and I received a coupon for $50 off my next rental, plus a check in the amount of $88, and an apology. That was actually more than what I expected.
I hope this constructive criticism helps.
Thanks,
TwinBee

Thought I'd throw my 2 cents in on this thread.

I would have to agree with prior comments that the letter was extremely difficult to read.

I'm not bashing anyone here, but I would strongly encourage you to take more time in articulating your thoughts.

Frankly if I worked for Marriott and received this letter I would throw it out -- after being threatened in the first sentence did you seriously think someone would take the time to read that letter the 4-5 times necessary to understand your key points? If they did, they are a better person than me.

Good luck in the future.

Absolutely. I know your intent was honorable, Ernie, and I hope we can assist you. That's what FlyerTalk is for.

I would have to agree that it is [b]very hard[b] to understand this letter.

I think u might want to write a simpler one and resend it to them, you can do so via planetfeedback.com I find this website very helpful in complaints to corps

Welcome to Flyer Talk, Twinbee! You will mostly find it to be a very friendly and helpful place.

hey what's the ebay link for the timeshares, and do us FlyerTalkers get an "inside" deal?

As I'm sure some of you have figured out Ernie is not a doctor just a con artist wanted on outstanding warrants in Nevada and New York.
Yes the ADA does give certain rights to the disabled. However, since we have numerous witnesses that have seen Ernie walking all around the buffet table in the Alexis Rd. Golden Coral, a miraculous event to be sure, I'm sure Ernie's disability is a con also. By the way Enie great leg muscle tone for a guy in a wheel chair.

Yes the residents of Toledo, Ohio are all to familiar with Ernie and his ways!

Alk, thanks for the post. It looks like Ernie has been a con artist for quite a while. http://www.ripoffreport.com/con-arti...iden-c9wfe.htm

Any reason you bumped a 10 year old thread?

Ummm...welcome to FlyerTalk? Not sure what value resurrecting a ten-year-old thread brings but welcome anyway. **shrug** Moving right along...
