I'm sick and tired of the borderline malware ads from updateplugins.com.

Since Internet Brands can't bring themselves to properly screen ad content, I've for the first time installed ad-block software.

I understand the ads fund the site and make it possible, that's why I have so far resisted installing ad-blockers.
To the operators of this site I'd recommend a heart-to-heart conversation with IB that not screening ads is bad for business...

Cheers
George

And I have seen the arrest records of all those who frequent this forum.

Also I have a degree now. Certified and accredited. Says so right on the diploma.

What? I didn't say anything derogatory or negative about Ferd and I didn't say anything about him trying to stop me from speaking my mind. What I did say is that I understood his perspective but didn't agree with his conclusions. I see nothing disrespectful or confrontational about what I said. Why are you so eager to try and turn it into something like that?

So what are the authorized "topics" here? I didn't realize there was a list of prohibited ones. Is it somewhere in the forum rules and I missed it? And while we're at it, what "heavy emotional" words did I use? The vast majority of my posts use facts to make the point I'm trying to make. Maybe what I say doesn't further a useful discussion for your purposes, but that doesn't invalidate what I have to say and it also doesn't make it inappropriate. I get that you disagree with me on just about everything. And that's fine but you're not going to get any respect from me by in effect suggesting to me that I should shut up and color.

They can't afford to get bad gouge.
Where did you get the idea that I was "directing new hires here to get their questions answered?" I was simply responding to a couple of others (including Ferd) who suggested that new hires wouldn't be able to get questions answered here if we were clogging the thread up with discussions about topics that you, Ferd, and some others don't like.

For the record, I would never suggest to a new hire that APC is the place to get questions answered, especially with something that could potentially get them in trouble. That was someone else's idea when they asserted that contract discussions would somehow interfere with a new hire's ability to get questions answered here. It wasn't my idea and I think you know that. Again, why are you so eager to turn this into something it's not?

Yeah. I think I said something like that almost verbatim. And I meant every word of it. I just flew with a new hire yesterday and today. It is one of my favorite things to do! So what's your point in putting that into a post to me?

A little defensive there 88?

I'm not going to let you or anyone else intimidate me from saying what I think.

I love having the new hires here (both here on APC and for real at Delta). They're great! I'm flying with one today. I think they are all more than capable of walking and chewing gum at the same time and can get their questions answered here during our discussion of "Any Latest & Greatest about Delta."
Good grief.

Is that the one that redirects the page? That ticks me off to no end. Seeing what can be done about it...

No. You retain double pay, no credit for your GS trip, and you will be made to fly as much of the other trip as you are legal for.

If you can't read, comprehend, and keep things in perspective, then I can't help you. Have a good day.
