Ok so I've been warned by Commissar XYZ (who shall remain nameless, and who's team has reviewed my post for any anti establishment material) of the USSDDF (Union of Soviet Socialist Dan Deals Forums) to cease and desist in engaging in this controversial topic which is "disturbing the peace" and not leading to any goodwill (which is true). So now, on my way to the gulag for reeducation, I bid farewell to all the great masters of DDF, and salute them with my right hand held high, in the obligatory fashion, and announce-

HEIL DAN!!! LONG LIVE DDF!!! Down with the dissenters!

Farewell.

Talk about overreacting, Its just a ban from ddf!!

Dan didn't behead the guy, put him in solitary or anything like that. The guy will be just fine. As will everyone else.  :)


Trust me, dont take ddf too seriously. Its a cool place, just have fun with it. 
Sage words.

I do think a suspension would be a better move, but this is not my place.
If this was the first or even second incident, sure. But this was the culmination of several incidents and warnings and I felt enough was enough. A suspension is given in hopes that it encourages change. Nothing was going to change here. It was long overdue and it's time to #TakeBackDDF from those who want to troll it to death.

What kind of improvements are you waiting for?

I'm waiting for:
Much better clubs with continued gate passes
Better first class experience
KSML on domestic flights

Do you think they will reverse any of the decisions smisek made?
I'd like to see them stay on a distance based earning program as opposed to revenue

Why inevitable? It's the stupidest thing ever.

There's no way they're reversing that, and it's also only a matter of time until AA follows suit.

Thank you Dan.

I don't post here often as FT is my home base.

However, numerous times while on DDF this troll has gotten me nervous, both now and in the past. FT has a no nonsense policy, and I believe it should be implemented in this case as well.

Only difference is, this forum is mostly populated by Jews, who are Rachmanim Bnei Rachmanim = a tendency to always give somebody another chance - to do teshuva. Of course there is a limit - to which it seems AJ reached - but it'll never be like FT.

Maybe we should stop harping on this issue and return to our regular scheduled programming? (That's what I just attempted to do. I'll try again.)

Has anyone else noticed that the old website is back, and it's impossible to get to the new one?

The new website was downright awful. Although the old one is very dated, it's functional.

Probably just due to yesterday's crash. Though I did email Oscar to please keep the old site around, at least as an option.

The stock has been pretty volatile the past month (like the rest of the market). Although I'm sure smisek leaving is news to investors, I don't know if the price "jump" is due to that.
