[Butch Cassidy Slept Here]

...is there any reason that the edicated volunteer staff are not catching the obvious BS posts?

Is that what the word "catching" means in this context? Censorship of posts you just don't like? You complained when I expressed the feeling that, at least at one point, there appeared to an effort, by the "airline"/ATA people on this board, to suppress content not supporting their view. If "catching" is not supposed to mean such an effort, what is a reasonable person supposed to believe it does mean?? If a post contains language unsuitable for a minor; abusive mockery; or similiar language then censor the SPECIFIC offending language and, if appropriate, issue a "violation notice," with "points," to the offender. Otherwise deal with it or leave this board. I read the "Air Tran" post. It sounds like the woman hasn't traveled by air a lot. In the case of both posts you, and some other airline/ex-airline people have made several responding posts. So it looks like the position of the ATA has been well aired in both posts. Even if this poster made everything up, and never set foot in an airport, why, in light of all the "airline"/ATA posts, (within the two threads in question) do you feel the airline side has been treated unfairly here?
