avek00,
I'll vote for you if you promise to never post to FT again. Deal? This way you at least get one vote.

I wonder what color the sky is in your world?

I would not assume that simply because ozstamps was the only person to respond, that the court of public opinion is limited to just him.

This is the 'Court Of Public Opinion' avek00. And you just lost hands down IMO. It is clear to me that you have not found a single thread to trot out to support your parrotlike fiction. Thank you for demonstrating that so rapidly.

It seems to me that the 'Court Of Public Opinion' verdict so far is ...

Voting for avek00's position - 1 vote. (From avek no less, coff.)

Voting against it - all other votes.

In most campaigns, this result is known as a landslide disaster avek00.

Thanks for reminding us of that incredibly tasteless 'The Bin Laden Group Responds to the Rejection of its Offer to Rescue United Airlines' link transpac. I had forgotten that one.

TalkBoard surely does NOT need folks who repeatedly claim such lowball stuff is clever and funny and appropriate to post on the Anniversary of September 11.

If elected, will you quit using the phrase "ad hominem"?

Like flies to honey, FlyerTalk's habitual personal attackers have come out of the woodwork and into this thread. Thanks for again reminding the Community of your identities and your true FT motivations.

We have a rather differing expression here. "Like flies to s***".

How very Nixonian. It would have been better if you had gone with the Clintonian version (vast right-wing conspiracy, and all that).

Ultimately, your lack of response to legitimate questions and the your own posting history is far more telling than the "Oz-Wing-Conspiracy."

Again, are you going to explain your motivations, or write off those who question them?

I hate to say it, but you're your own worst enemy. I must admit, I was lukewarm towards you until people drug up posts from the past. Now, I don't know what to think. I can't tell if you're just not terribly funny, or just downright rude.

I have already offered explanations for every substantive and meaningful issue raised thus far in regards to my campaign. However, it is increasingly apparent that a select group of FlyerTalkers are hellbent on attacking or otherwise disparaging me at every turn, and I have decided that it is not in the best interests of either myself or FT to cater to their whims.

It is my sincere hope that the offenders will see the error of their ways and work towards IMPROVING FlyerTalk's quality of life instead of being a nuisance to the Community by attacking others. As per http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/Forum...000744-2.html, I have committed myself to a new era for FT which will see the net's premier community rise to even greater heights. If elected to the TalkBoard (and even if I am not elected), I plan to continue working both publicly and behind the scenes to foster this vision.

You might consider taking your own advice. (Two chances of that happening: slim, none.)

It is my estimation that ~ 95% of your posts in the UA forum cause a nuisance. (Note how many are locked down.) I'm pretty sure that is your intent. I honestly cannot remember a single post, in the UA forum, of yours where you tried to help anyone? Isn't that what FT is about? Or is it about something else for you?

The bottom line is that the cause for most of the threads being locked down was not my postings but rather the INCESSANT ATTACKS BY A SELECT FEW. A review of the threads clearly indicates that it was the harrassment and flame baiting of posters like Ozstamps, OttoGraham, LastClass, and a few others which prompted the thread closures. While my commentary on those threads might have been somewhat controversial, the blame nonetheless remains with those who resort to ad hominem attacks due to their inability to formulate rational responses.

I admit that my views of UA are in the minority. However, I refuse to be silenced on account of a few frequent attackers who have already been booted off of FT due to similar transgressions in the past. FWIW, I believe that these people will likely continue their attacks until the next TalkBoard comes in and puts an end to the misery that are bringing to the Community.
