Honesty
"......for the record, I've (there should be) no problem with being given a label. I think it helps the OP'er to decide what weight to give the response."
Judge, it comes-down to a matter of honesty. There may be some who have no problem with posting complaints on an airline blog. A lot of people choose not to because the character of the forum is self-evident. The character of THIS forum is NOT as self-evident. Honesty is owed to unknowing posters so an informed decision can be made as to whether to even post at all.
This forum is represented by airline people, "sympathizers," etc. two to one, favoring the latter. The figures are based on actions taken by the moderator, specifically his assigning labels and requiring airlines employees to self-identify. In other words, I didn't make these numbers up. There's no way these numbers can be cooked to make it look like there is "balance" on this board--no matter how hard some people may want to try or despite the efforts of some to dismiss said numbers as irrelevant.
I’d like to think I have the ability to express loyalty to former colleagues—at least in cases where there is no overriding public interest or interest of justice. So, if it means anything Judge, I would likewise use the word “I’ve” if I were in your position.
Most on here will, doubtless, be overjoyed to hear I'll be sitting this game out for a while. If the moderator wants to make it permanent, by all means, go for it!
