Hi Butch, well I must admit it is a revelation that he is an airline employee because he repeatedly denied it and instead implied he was a first class frequent flyer!! I don't dispute at all that he oversteps the line, and he was in fact abusive to me a few times. However, I do think on boards like this the presumption should be to let me have their say, however stridently. Of course there have to be limits, but I am not sure a lifetime ban was justified. Offensive speech is a very subjective thing. Although I agree with much of what you say for example, the way you express it seems to me to go over the line at times. I regard that as your freedom of speech and I would always reserve the right to disagree just as vehemently. Obscene speech, such as the posts by Walnut et al on the other hand is just pathetic and deserves being totally blocked.
