Well said, and good advice. We are all just trying to exert a little control over a process we have no control over. Oddly enough, though, the debate can be therapeutic. But we do have to keep in mind that we will all be on the same team at the end of this. And from my experience on your jump-seats, I think the two groups will fit well together. The first round's on me for all AAI folks, but I'm only buying Ty domestic beer!

What round will Ty be drafted in?
Welcome to the TrannyDraft 2011....
Tood McShay says "my guess, he is a late 6th rounder."
Mel Kiper Jr. (laughing) says he has some work to do before even "dreaming" about the next level.
Asked if he is good enough to play on the A team every Sunday, Kiper said he can "absolutely see him working on Saturday and Sunday, as long as he works on his attitude and Luv aspect of his game"
Kiper then added, that he sees "about 5800 better picks, before he would take a chance on Ty."
An NFL Owner recently said "I might make him (Ty) my 5801st pick and see what he has to offer in training camp or just assign him to the practice squad" "Its an unknown, does this kid have any sense of LUV for the game or has his Agent got to him already?"
The other moderators and website owner, none of which work for either company or are people I know outside this forum, disagree with you, and those are the only people I answer to on this forum. You are welcome to your opinion. You are NOT, however, welcome to keep making digs about it.
You didn't have to. There are only 5 moderators on this site, 2 are inactive due to other issues, and you've repeatedly called me out about it in the past 60 days and haven't said anything about other moderators.
I didn't squelch anything. The WEBSITE OWNER shut down that thread. The only thing I did was delete posts that were ToS violations, give warnings and/or suspensions for those violations, and offer to email the posters the portions of their posts that were NOT ToS violations so they could repost them without the offending material. I did that for BOTH AirTran and Southwest pilots alike.
PW-
Your comment about buying me a domestic beer got me thinking . . . It was sort of like the stages of thinking about the SLI:
1) Free Beer! :beer:
2) Drink it with who? :erm:
3) Domestic?
4) Hope it's cold, or it's gonna taste like horse piss!
5) Should probably be gracious and accept domestic beer
6) Lots of micro brews are domestic!
7) Fat Tire is domestic, and Alaskan Amber, and Shiner and . . .
8) Sure, PW, I'll drink a beer with ya! :beer:
So, in the end, SLI will be like a beer. Might be a domestic beer, but you can probably find one you like.
There have been no other moderators involved in any of the SWA-AAI discussions, with the exception of one entry by Clr4TheApch yesterday.

Actually, yes, I do see the problem. It's why I've backed off posting in most of these threads (not to mention I don't think the hostility gets us anywhere). I'll still chime in from time to time if it's something no one else is mentioning and I think it's important or it's something humorous or especially poignant that I'm giving kudos to someone about, but other than that, I'm trying to stay off these topics.
I think you're forgetting your response that triggered my first post to you about it. When you allege out of the blue that Ty's comments stayed because he "has the moderator in his pocket"... well, I don't think anyone for a moment had any doubt who you were referring to. So don't try to put this on me.
Granted, that's why I had a conversation in the Moderator's lounge with the other moderators and the website owner and why I've backed out of posting in most of these threads except for an occasional comment here and there (although that's not what they suggested; they had no problem with the way I was posting and moderating, it was MY decision to back off the posting).
Not really, no. We're both still here, having this conversation, although I should have put a stop to it about 3 posts back. I'm bending over backwards NOT to start pruning your posts on this subject or putting you in the penalty box, even though that's what we've done to countless OTHER members who can't follow directions from the website owner and moderators.
No one's intimidating you into doing anything. I'm asking you to follow the policies set forth by the website owner and ALL the moderators in not going after the mods for the way we police the board.
