Simplicity
First, your criteria appears slanted toward the airline industry.
Second, someone who is not familiar with this board probably could not figure-out, or be willing to look-up the definitions for, all these terms.
The current crop of "Airline Employee," "Former Airline Employee," "Airline Sympathizer" is unnecessarily excessive. A single "Airline Sympathizer" label appears to be a one-size fits all solution. The reality is that people, on both sides of the airline vs. consumer debate, will lie. There is no way to verify the authenticity of someone's claim to be an airline employee vs. a NON-airline employee any more than someone who says they work in the mail room at Delta Air when, in fact, all or part of their salary is from Delta's media relations dept.
As to bad language: That's a two-way street Mars. Accusing someone (or implying) someone has a mental disorder, as the airline people on here have done far more often than the pro-consumer people, can be every bit as offensive as calling someone a Nazi. On the other hand, if a person, or a group of people, voluntarily ADOPT a bad name, such as the Sky Nazi name some American Air flight attendants have used, then I have a hard time seeing how someone, who points this out, is using "bad language."
