As a US CP do I get free upgrades to personal attacks on US metal with UA paper? Im still really confused about that.
But to the point, ozstamps and avek, the quote in question from avek was pretty clearly an ad hominem attack on ozstamps. In addition, I certainly saw it as a threat to ozstamps and to his "ilk" whoever they might be. I wondered if it was a threat to me as well. In fact, I saw it as a threat to anyone who disputed aveks posts. Three additional points. I said "ad hominem" instead of personal because it seems to make iluv2fly happy (at least when avek says it) and since I have learned from him I am happy to attempt, however humbly, to amuse him. I have learned about flying UA from ozstamps. I cannot recall one thing I have learned about flying UA or AA from Avek. |

This thread serves as a useful illustration that although times have changed, the destructive posting behaviors of some have not. FlyerTalk veterans have been reminded, and newer FTers are learning, of the true colors of a select few posters who very nearly destroyed FT altogether in the past due to constant flame wars and personal attacks. It is wise to remember that the attackers have, in some instances, been BANNED from FlyerTalk by Randy on MULTIPLE occasions. Therefore, I see a great deal of usefulness from this thread. The Community has yet again been made aware of the need for vigorous efforts to finally put an end to the frequent attackers. And just as importantly, the frequent attackers have made clear not only the identities of themselves, but also of those who WILL put an end to their destructive ways. </font> |

Personally, I voted a straight non-Dr. Evil board. Sorry, avek, but since you didn't take a stand on this threat to civilisation, I voted for other candidates.
If Dr. Evil is eradicated, I will consider other candidates in future. Otherwise, I will support all non-mini-me, non-Dr.Evil candidates all the time. Go ANMMMDRDATT! |

I really hate to get into this fray, but since you asked...
SAGE WORDS FROM dhammer53 When my kids were little, many times it was 'difficult' trying to explain things to them. ie you should do things this way, not that way. Now in regard to the many, many posts posted above... remember this, LOOK WHO YOU'RE ARGUING WITH. Not edited to add...additional commentary left blank so iluv2fly doesn't quote me. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/tongue.gif |

<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Originally posted by avek00: No, it is NOT an ad hominem attack, as I am highlighting your posting & behavioral history on Flyertalk as opposed to mocking or criticizing something completed unrelated like age.</font> Please feel free to address my numerous questions at any time, but do try to actually address my specific questions. ------------------ Saving the world, one clue at a time. |
In a vague attempt to try to bring order to this thread, how about we do the following:
1) FT members ask no more than two questions at a time. 2) Avek00 answers specific questions. how's that? |
Why hasn't this thread been closed yet??

Avek00 is about as qualified to be on the TalkBoard as Martin Bormann is qualified to be on the board of my local synagogue.
