Remember, avek00's silly nonsense is not, and has not ever been restricted to FT.
For many YEARS - Avek00 has been trolling, adding nothing useful whatever, (see above for his OWN selection of his "Six Greatest Contributions"!) and wreaking havoc on other flying Bulletin Boards, as some of you may recall reading this info a couple of months back. kappa is a Flyertalker who has been here a lot longer than I : <font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Originally posted by kappa: Any of you who may have participated on the Plane Business BB (as I did), before Holly Hegeman closed it down a couple of years ago, will recall how much of a troll Avek00 was on the TWA board during the pre - and post-bankruptcy period leading to the AA takeover. He claimed to be an investor in TWA stock. His inflammatory remarks, often directed at the airline employees, and always at anyone who defended the airline (either as an employee or as a loyal customer), led to the same acrimony as on this FT board. I believe it was his use the same “handle” on other BBs that resulted in his being ID’d on the PB board as a very young poster and student (at I seem to recall a school in Georgia). In any case I believe his trolling posts, and the bait TWA loyalists could not resist swallowing, were a major reason for the locking down of the PB board. It was THE favourite venue for dialogue between and among TWA employees and the almost cultish VERY loyal TWA FF aficionados, of which I was one until they sold the international routes to AA. I agree that this poster IS a big problem; and one causing great concern to many of the most valuable contributors to this board. Thus I hope Randy will recognize the problem and take appropriate action!</font> |

Gentlemen,
I'm surprised at all (ok, most) of you. By this constant rehashing yesterdays news (old avek00 posts), you're playing into the 'whats wrong' attitude. I mean come on!!! Adults arguing with a kid. Don't you all know that good always (ok, usually) wins out in the end. You're all (ok, most of you) smart enough to know that we never would have gone all the way to page 7 without all this constant back and forth. Even these words of wisdom serve no purpose. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif Let it drop and everyone (ok, mostly everyone) will eventually let this thread die. My real goal here and in life is to be 'wise and humorous.' My goal for you is to be smart. Dan |

He will not stand for that and will fight to have you disciplined. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif |

To those who continue to stand up for what's right:
This thread clearly demonstrates that FlyerTalk is indeed plagued by an element that is obsessed with degrading the Community through personal attacks. I hope that all of you have considered that fact in your voting (regardless of who you actually voted for), and will work to stop the attackers before FlyerTalk is again brought to the brink of destruction. To the personal attackers: Your time is coming. FlyerTalk has always risen to the occasion and done the needful against those who can only contribute negativity, disrespect, and hostility to the Community. Whether or not I am elected to TalkBoard, you can be sure that the Community WILL deal with you should you fail to amend your ways post haste. |

You are making it sound important. It should be fun, not important. Good grief....
