Does this mean that another poster, a frequent contributor at that (FQTV had over 600 postings), has been banished forever from FlyertalkLand? Made to feel severely unwelcomed? What was his crime if you had to fill in a police report? If he ever comes back to this hostile territory, we'll just never reply to him and he'll end up at the bottom of the thread listings over and over?
The root issues still remain: arrogance, snideness, and belligerence on the part of many.

gruezi dholloway and (hopefully) FQTV.
No - it was just my (very unperferct) way to try to stop at an early stage flamings on FQTV's postings limited to the time I mention in my initial post.
?arrogance?, snideness, and ?belligerence? (I have to look this last two words up in my diccionary at home) is your choice of words ...

BoSoxFan: A tangental, but funny story...
Back in the 70's, the Red Sox were going through a losing streak. This coincided with a Judge Garrity court-ordered busing. Seeking to change the topic of reporters questions, Bill Lee (Red Sox pitcher) spouted off saying something like, "The only guy in this $#^@ town with any guts in Arthur Garrity."
Naturally, this brought a firestorm of protest, especially from the folks who were not pleased with busing to begin with.
One letter came on the official stationery of a prominent Boston politician, who had some very unambigous remarks and suggestions for the pitcher.
Bill Lee wrote back, "Dear xxxxx, I thought you'd like to know that some complete moron has stolen your stationery and is writing letters to me on it."

------------------
"I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own."

You know, we all should start our own magazine based on some of the fine writers on this boards:
*Rudi's world view (and a beautiful one at that!)
*Jon Toner's wisdom (wow! can you tell a story!)
*Quiet Lion's Trip reports (and others!)
*Punki's lessons of etiquette.
And of course, Dear Catman!

FQTV WHO?????
My claws are retracted, my hairballs put in a nice trash can and I'm going to be as quiet as Patience and Fortitude who guard the NY Public Library.
Catman: you are under arrest. how DARE you not include my police reports in your "magazine?"
