Not in the mood...

Mr Quite Happy - I don't want, or appreciate guidance from you as to how best to moderate, promote or encourage - I already do it, for real: You don't. Should those positions be reversed in the future there can be little doubt that you will offer a significantly better service to users than I do. Until that happy day, I'd suggest that you snipe from rather better cover.

Since your reaction to the delightful rodrigooo's post was rather more knee-jerk than considered, let's take another look at what was said.
  • A reference for comparison to an ongoing tragedy involving murdered children is not only inappropriate factually but offensive to another user and in very poor taste.
  • There is no comparison possible whatsoever between an event in a bar/club and on an aircraft. The fact that rodrigooo is unable to distinguish between the different etiquette requirements is quite extraordinary.
  • Common sense suggests that a first post by a new user might possibly be one that takes a considered position, respecting the forum rules and other users. There is little evidence of any of that here.
Moving on to groundbum - when you report a post on PPRuNe it immediately goes to the forum moderator for inspection. I am the forum moderator. It therefore follows that I may be reluctant to take disciplinary action against myself, about my own post, as you would like to happen, purely because you have complained about me.

Maybe this is a good time to lay down a few ground rules for the kiddies.
  • This is a forum for adults - behave as one, or go elsewhere.
  • I moderate this forum in my spare time, for free and usually, as now, when very tired after flying. I do not have the time or patience for tedious games involving semantics, syllogisms or bone-headed stupidity. If you do not like the way this forum is modded then you should contact PPRuNe Admin, or Danny and complain, or, (the preferred option) simply don't come in here.
  • There are many users of this forum that have immense experience of flying as both passengers and crew, in all classes of travel. They have a right to browse this forum peacefully without having kids running around the aisles screaming (metaphorically speaking) all the time.
  • If you cannot accept that a passenger who has paid for an airline seat has an absolute right not to be sexually harassed by the operating crew, then you may take it as read that your views are so far out of whack with the concept of this forum, and reality, that you should really go elsewhere now.

Now I think that's pretty clear, both in tone and content. If it is not, then why not just ignore it and post something else in here that is really stupid. I can promise you a jolly good fight, with lots of blood - but maybe not in public, and you can only lose...
