wow, I can't believe what I've been missing here.

This is more intense than any Omni thread I've chosen to read.

I'll second the kudos to the Omni moderators.

And I agree with LexPassenger too!

So not only do we have a troll, but we have a troll who pretends like he/she knows me.

Sickening. Truly sick.

Is this what FT has come down to? People hide behind false identities because they are too chicken**** to come forward and state their opinion? I find that truly pathetic.

Hey! I have an idea! How about we have a requirement that says you have to have 100 posts that contribute to the "points and miles" reason we're all ostensibly here before you're allowed to post in OMNI (random bull**** in the hotsauce thread excluded, natch)?

That would have neatly filtered the "valuable" members mentioned in the alluded to in the unending stream-of-consciousness above without anyone's feelings getting hurt.

Just a thought.

You could not give the moderators a standing ovation?

Randy and/or his staff screen all OMNI posting applicants. Not sure what his criteria are for admission, but I'm sure you're close Alan.

Who knows? These Mods will never fess up.

So, despite demonstrating that folks can be openly CALLED 'fascist' with impunity, (repeatedly and indignantly denied by at least skofarrell until I posted, and who has now selectively taken the Fifth. coff. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/frown.gif ) it seems that being called that and a long list of other TOS violations is the grounds for a month ban, whilst those using those terms are free to post with impunity. Interesting logic. Like the cops charging a shooting victim with 'using a weapon unlawfully'. So much for the TOS.

No wonder their actions are kept secret. Worked well in Eastern Europe for decades I guess. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/rolleyes.gif

Like nako, I am now done with this thread.

If good folks leave Flyertalk altogether due to what happens on OMNI under your watch and by your direct actions, I could not disagree more.

In summary - is giving ANY FlyerTalker/s the right to suspend ANY other FlyerTalker for a month from any Forum without prior consultation with Randy a good idea? My vote (and I only have one) is a loud NO.

If you (or the other aggrieved) have an issue with my actions or statements, please take it up with Randy.

My guess is that such action won't happen for two reasons:

1. My bet is that Randy will back the fine job and methods used by the OMNI mods. Again.

and

2. It remove the ability of certain parties to rant, rave, compare OMNI mods to Eastern European dictators, and campaign on behalf of "fallen comrades" who were oppressed in secret by the "OMNI dictators" and so forth.

Taking it to Randy would defeat the purpose RE: #2. For those who insist on continuing this nonesense public spin is far more important than the results which could be achieved by actually "taking it to the man."

Techgirl, is this "new" addition to FT "known" to you? http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif I am still trying to figure out who it may be. I guess I am easily entertained.

LCWB.

The last class to have a real plebe year. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

Et tu?
