Free advertising and "mental status"
Jetliner & PHXFlyer:
Thanks for the free advertising. Is that pic the scandalous piece of dirt you have on me???
Just like on this board, there are individuals in our Town who feel rules and laws do not apply to them. That's what that pic, and the attached commentary, was all about.
So, Jetliner & PHXFlyer, I suppose you will now join in competition with the professional spammers on this board and start pasting every last tidbit about myself on the internet. Please, go ahead, be my guest!! There may be some people who let embarrassing aspects of themselves out onto the internet. I am not one of them. So, please, flatter me, cut and paste away.
I was giving some thought, today, to Jetliner's analysis of my psyche. Jetliner feels my "mental status" is in question. I realized that airline passenger rights advocate Kate Hanni has been called mentally ill by American Air and the Air Transport Association. Kate is suing American Air for unlawful imprisonment, among other things. I guess American Air thinks the courts are interested in name calling. Dianna Fairechild, an advocate for passenger health and safety was, likewise, called mentally ill, by a poster (an airline employee) on another board. Evidently, to the airlines and their supporters, if someone advocates for more fresh air, in flight, they are mentally ill. On the other hand, PHXFlyer's obscenities, and threats, of the past 24 to 36 hours, are seen as perfectly rational by Jetliner? Seems like "mental status"/"mental illness" are words used by the airline industry to describe their opponents. The question is, what happens when those words lose their credibility? I guess the "new disease" will be leprosy??
Finally, countrynewsman's recent post has given me something to think about. Between the spammers; PHXFlyer; Jetliner, et al, it appears this board has become an uncontrolled obscenity/threat contest.
