It makes for more interesting message board reading. It's just the nature of online forums. It's not unlike, i.e. Fox News with their philosophy of generating spin at the expense of truth to bolster ratings.
Zapata -
I'll agree with the agenda part, but you were saying that those things DON'T happen, and I'm just not sure that they don't is any more an accurate portrayal of facts than saying they ALWAYS happen.
The 'defenders' you will often notice seem to come from the same place in the majority - those that you would EXPECT to defend; and there have been detractors from the ranks too.
I have no more reason to believe you that those situations don't occur and more often than I do the many others on this board who say they do.
Remember what size we are talking about here as a portion of the population. The small population overall that frequents internet message boards (demographic on top of that), and then the percentage within the forums who voice their opinions one way or another regarding this particular airline (even smaller still and often the same posters over and over again).
As for Fox news spinning things; that is a matter of opinion and seems to be directly related to political leanings which need to go no further on this post/forum. If you think spin is one-sided then there is no help.
