I don't think Randy has given his final word on the topic, and I, for one won't be persuaded by a fake alter ego that the issue is closed. Can't speak for anyone else.

I hope you keep pushing Randy to ban members, Jeremy. Push it baby! Demand justice! After all, you deserve action on your complaints!

Go ahead. Make my day.

It is the members job to post information on travel, points, and miles, and then replys or responses on their opinions on travel, points, and miles.

It is moderators job to moderate the discussion. Stop flaming, trolls, and to keep the discussion on topic.

Bingo!

Lets hope that a lot more of BOTH occurs from now on.

If I were Randy (and on this day thank god I'm not) I would say one thing-- loudly and clearly: "All criticisms of moderator's actions, attitudes or demeanor are to be directed to ME, via e-mail and not posted publicly."

IMHO, that would end all this nonsense and whining.

Not taking your own advice to heart?

Umm, I actually did, in two places--one via an e-mail to Randy and a subsequent conversation in a private forum.

Or did you forget that part?

Do you really think that you will make flyertalk self destruct by doing this? It's not going to happen, thus ruining an attempt by an otherwise little man to do little man's work in a little man's way.

Did I mention that there won't be a revolution and it won't be televised, simply because televison is for suckers who can't keep up with the new media?

If you want to troll, let's bait the hook and put all the cards on the table (cheese on the pizza, graham crust on the pie, whatever your analogy happens to be).

Does this need to continue, or do you want to come clean?

Someone told me that my post had been replied, but I don't see that anywhere.

That is also part because I don't respond to trolls who think that they are mightier than thou and hide behind a fake ID.

You can quote me as much as you want.

I refuse to engage in a conversation with a troll of that nature.

I don't and neither should anyone else.

Speaking of people who just can't let it go........

Here comes agitating troll number one.

No need to quote it because we've all read it about a thousand times. Just change the name. Yesterday the target was avek00. Today it's Ozstamps. Tomorrow, from all indications, it'll be attorney28. And a host of other targets for attacks.

I would say "get a clue," but it would be pedantic to say that. Instead I'll say get a life!

I guess that one hit a bit to close to home, eh? The group of people you mention share two things in common: one involves an absense from FT, whose nature I'll leave to somebody else and/or Randy to comment upon.

I suspect that they also share something else in common--but you knew that. I suspect that Randy knows it too.

Why do you insist on trying to divide the community? What exactly is your grudge?

Dear Enquiring Mind--

Would you care to explain to us what exactly your agenda is? Why not state your case to all of us? You have our complete attention; there is no doubt about that.

As a matter of fact, I think you should start a new thread and lay it all out. Why not extract something useful and productive out of all this turmoil? State your case, this is your big chance to throw out all the issues you have with this board and its moderators and management, etc. While many here (and I include myself in this group) dont condone your methods, I think the bottom line is that sometimes medicine is worse than the underlying sickness. Lets get on with the discussion of the things that you are concerned about, and after thats all done and taken care of, perhaps we can get back to business as usual? Thank you.

I also have no idea what he is babbling on about attorney28. But as usual for this poster lately it does NOT sound pleasant or civil or constructive.

ClueByFour. Isn't it a worthwhile idea to maybe give yourself a day or so voluntary absence away from here?

Your tag line says: "Don't feed the trolls"

And you are ..... you are feeding a troll here. Time and time again.

You are a Moderator. You are supposed to urge OTHERS to ignore trolls and personal barbs. But you CREATE them, not ignore them, from where i am sitting.

Please give this some thought. In this week of all weeks, your posts are not doing any service WHATEVER to Randy or Flyertalk would be my best guess.

But it is not my call to make. I just urge you to go back and read over some of the bitter and vindictive stuff you have posted here in the past 3 days. The thought truly crossed my mind another regular here was posting under your handle, via another password theft deal.

After reading your posts can you honestly declare you feel they had anything to do with making FT a better and more enjoyable place to be?

Can you? A break from this Forum might be a good idea. IMHO.

In your opinion, sure no problem. That is your call to make.

<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">After reading your posts can you honestly declare you feel they had anything to do with making FT a better and more enjoyable place to be? </font>
I think it's pretty enjoyable to see him tell certain others to shut up. IMHO.

<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Can you?</font>
Sure he can. Just like you are always showing us, via your posts, what a valueable contributor to FlyerTalk you are.

Well the same would go for you or for Punki too then, would it not?

You were the one who mentioned me in a group with other posters, and I would like to know what you meant.

Good god.

Considering the incendiary posts you've made over the past few days, including posting the first theft from the mod board, I find this post amazing - you've got giant brass ones, I'll tell you that.
