Gotta love when the little brother gets involved to help the big brother. Lol.
This is interesting.
Paging CM, bring out the popcorn....

It's a forum term, when would I use that in public??

You wouldn't use the second part of that term freely in public. You know what I meant.

Please go back into your yeshivish hole and come back when you've had a job working with people from the outside world for a few years.

Ya given that you obviously don't know me you have no idea which particular hole I'm coming from, if any (and your guess is way off, but nice try).
Also I'm not sure that blogging in cyberspace as a job counts as "working in the real world" in terms of learning how to deal with people normally. So if you'd like to join me we can embark on a journey of discovery together.

Either way, for the last time (yes I know I keep saying that but now I mean it), good night guys.
I'll give your regards to my fellow trolls that live in my hole. Please give mine to yours!

Dan - I don't think AJ is completely off base here.

As a traveler, I'm not a fan of Smisek. I live 10 minutes from EWR but don't fly United. I view him as the same villain that you do. As an investor, I wouldn't have invested in Smisek, but I don't view him as a villain. UA hasn't done too well compared to its competition since Smisek took over. However, domestic airlines have been trending to put lower values on FFPs. I believe most of the decisions he made mentioned in your post were made in the company's best interests.

There's nothing wrong with this line of argument. Nothing.
The issue I have is attacking the arguer rather than making a counter-argument.

And AJ had done this time after time after time again and I think it has completely ruined the discourse of DDF since he started posting 6 months ago.
The trolling ends now, goodbye!
1st ban I've issued since Joey IIRC and that had nothing to do with dissent, just another lunatic.

Add me to the list

Move your threadcrap elsewhere.

YAY!

PS. At least I have Ergel on my side (I know, only kind of, I don't want him to be forced to backtrack).

Reading comprehension issues?

BTW, unlike you, Dan had no measure of anonymity here, so for all intense and purposes, this is "public" for him

Considering I know your name and where you are from I think I do have a good idea where your hole is.

I have had and do work a regular job, I didn't go to any ivy league law school just to blog.

He meant me

And I'm definitely not on his side. Just think there is some merit to one of his conclusions.

No, he misunderstood what Ergel wrote before the parenthesis.

Can r we rename the thread? Good-by Smisek and AJ?

coralsnake · « **Reply #111 on:** September 08, 2015, 11:57:46 PM »

So, Smiseks out huh?

jj1000 · « **Reply #112 on:** September 08, 2015, 11:57:56 PM »

Smisek and Aj in one day?! Is this for real? Is it my birthday, I thought this day would never come!!!

Freddie · « **Reply #113 on:** September 08, 2015, 11:58:16 PM »

Ok, guys, It's over. Let's not spend another ounce of energy.

Dan, if I have one criticism it is why you didn't do this months ago.

Misunderstood? I don't think there's another way to read the parenthetical...

I didn't want to be accused of acting rashly. But he's already been warned before about trolling and enough is enough.
I do apologize for letting it ruin the tone of discourse here. I hope that it will improve now. If we need to warn and then ban more trolls to elevate the level of discourse, then so be it.
