Butch, I'm not going to call for you being banned here - You also have some good input, but you too have been guilty of the above quite a few times.
With that said, I will say that I disagree with some of the reasons the moderator listed for banning PHX. One that I had not listed in my other post was threatening the Administrator. If he had sent the Admin a PM, then so be it. I don't know what would have been in such a PM, so no comment if that is the case. However if the Admin is referring only to the original post, then there is no threat, and I feel the Admin is in the wrong on that.
However, and this is a big HOWEVER, I do not agree with what PHX did in some of his last posts. I understand what he did with post #1 here - he felt it was the only way to get the Admin's attention. It's like having the town cop asleep on the side of the road with a bank robbery going on right in front of him, and he threw a rock at the car to wake up the cop. But, the posts saying, um, well, screw you Butch and how he was going to air dirty laundry....I can't disagree with the admin on that one.
And yes, I know you might say that I did post the picture of the truck he was referring to. My point on that is you do go a bit nuts on things online. Refer back to the first paragraph of this post. I'm also not so sure that I can agree with putting out his personal email address, but I understand why that was done.
I'm simply going to ask one thing of you Butch, and that is to please lay off of off remarks about the airline employees. I know that there are ones that should be shot, but it's kind of like the Catholic church. Priests are good people, but you have a few that are giving them a bad rep. I'm not always going to side with the airline automatically. I will read the post with an open mind. And if I think I can offer some advice to help the person, then I will. But if I smell BS, then I am going to call it what it is. And yes, there are going to be times that I may be wrong (I have had a post or two that I missed a detail) but I will do the best I can. It's just that after spending many years in the industry I have seen many cases where people embellish the details, or plain make up a story just to get something for free. I've seen my share of complaint letters on a situation that I saw first hand, and the passenger filled the letter with tons of BS.
The biggest problem with the lack of rights, as you put it, is not the airline folks, it's the TSA. Please don't get me started on them. But that's a whole different set of forums. Just keep in mind that the airlines have no control over what they do or what regulations they put in place.
