I just went to "In The News" to see just how many useful new threads either Lex Passenger or Gaza added recently to that forum.

It is VERY easy to criticise folks. It is a LOT harder to actually contribute something useful.

Nuff sed.

Thanks for your input doc. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/thumbsup.gif http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/thumbsup.gif http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/thumbsup.gif http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/thumbsup.gif http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/thumbsup.gif http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/thumbsup.gif

I have never claimed to post to "In the News". My primary complaint against doc is the noise he generates on other forums and the irritating and unnecessary resurrection of threads. As I said here, he should confine news clippings to "In the News".

Yes tazi, I have posted almost 1900 critisisms of one particular moderator. You seem to hero worship doc. I bet you think his s**t doesn't smell either. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/rolleyes.gif

This is *possibly* irrelevant but Randy Petersen seems to appreciate doc posting on FT. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

Gaza .... UBB boards such as this are actually pretty inexpensive to set up and get running. You could start your own perhaps? And block registration of those who you do not like the posting policies of? And make up entire Gaza written TOS regarding where to post and what.

And appoint your own moderators. And be very bored as quite possibly no-one else except you would post there. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

Anymore posts like the one above, and this might be your only option. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif

Come visit HERE the most ** FRIENDLY FORUM ** on FlyerTalk. No flame wars, no personal abuse, no substance abuse. Not much of anything really!

What, you mean start another MoreMiles? http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/confused.gif

Or perhaps one closer to your heart - www.tarom.net http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

(If I had it in my power, I'd will this post to start page TWO of this thread.)

Actually, doc, no one on the Delta forum would have bored us with the news that a Saturday flight CVG-whateverFortWaltonBeechis and vs. was scheduled.

No one at all.

Post away. I'm sure EVERYBODY is thrilled with that news.

New news is CVG-RIC service increase by one flight. Please post that quickly, the DELTA forum is desparate to know this....

Indeed. Gaza's pithy turn of phrase earlier might fit in well on sorority locker room gems like this. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

I like that attitude! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/thumbsup.gif

You mean you actually spend time reading the cesspool that is tarom.net???

Actually, it certainly does not seem to be that at all. I count 5 posters (now 6) who have jumped in here to either oppose the bombardment of forums by one poster or to defend one of those opposing bombardment. All seems perfectly on topic. Yes, doc and gaza seem to have violated the TOS repeatedly, and that might be a reason to lock it, but not for a lack of on-topic support for the thread.

Talk about statements that people have copied and ready to paste. When one poster bombards a forum, it is not the people complaining who are too lazy to go to the next page, but the fact that most others do not, and the thread dies, unless the interested parties go out of their way to bump it up.

Next, I don't know about you, but after I post to a thread, I hate to hit back, back, back, back, back (yes, it takes 5 page loads to return to page 2 using the back button). Instead, I press the jump to forum link, but guess what page that takes you to? Page 1! The whole system is designed to make it easy to participate on page 1 threads, and harder to participate on page 2 threads.

I, personally, don't mind that it makes it harder if people are having vibrant conversation that overflows the first page, but I do mind if they are posts which generate little, if any, participation from others. I also mind that those discussionless threads mean that many other posters will no longer read them out of their laziness.

I suppose we could all go around bumping the threads whihc interest us, adding nothing new?

Sadly, no http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/frown.gif

Have a great day! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

I've repeatedly violated the TOS in this thread? http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif

Really? Are we reading the same "stuff?"

How so did I repeatedly violate the TOS, pray tell?

Please direct me to where doc has violated the TOS? I see plenty of instances where Gaza has. Frankly, his display here has been rude, crude and socially unaccepable. He has attacked, insulted and just proven himself unworthy of human companionship.

I don't worship any member of this community nor do I wish to get close enough to them to determine ... as Gaza suggests... whether their s**t stinks http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/confused.gif or not.

If people have such a huge problem with other members, so much so that it interfers with their enjoyment of FlyerTalk overall, then they really need to consider whether this is a good place for them to spend time.

I don't hope to get along with everyone here but I will do my best to treat every member with the respect I would hope to receive myself. Even those I don't necessarily agree with.

If this proves to be too difficult, close your eyes and pretend the person is standing right in front of you. Then open your eyes and see if the words you thought to speak, haven't changed.

didn't missydarlin just answer this very question? http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/confused.gif

Sadly, yes! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/frown.gif

Thanks for asking it again, though! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif
