Unwanted attention/inappropriate comments from cabin crew

tightslot a little wrinkly too

must say rigriroo (sp) is spot on, really we seem unable to laugh at ourselves these days. A quick word at the time would have nipped all this trial-by-internet stuff. True the SCCM should have seen what was going on and been vibed into whether it had gone past pleasant horseplay or not depending on the customers mood, and reined it in as needed.

I dunno why some people get out of bed, it could be dangerous out there! Sprayed by a puddle, lose 50p down a hole in your pocket, forgot your hanky, forgot to get the coffee before turning on the pc etc etc etc. Life is full of horrors.

mind the wrinkles.

Guess I am not as touchy or paranoid!!!! Good luck

First post rodrigooo, and an impressively unwise start to your PPRuNe career. Presumably, a Spanish village somewhere is now missing an idiot?

quality modding... you really know how to encourage new users huh...

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...

PM for you

This is the same poster as posted on a thread i posted saying all nervous passengers should be banned from airlines.

I think he's an all or nothing type of guy !!

I suppose its quite safe to post the stuff he does behind a computer screen. Personally i was incensed that he felt I should be banned from seeing the world if i was travelling by plane

Atishoo - I know that you mean well, but as is sometimes the case, you are allowing emotion to obscure fact.

...Personally i was incensed that he felt I should be banned from seeing the world if i was travelling by plane..

Personally I was unable to locate that suggestion. The thread to which you refer is a discussion about the negative effects for large numbers of other passengers when one nervous passenger decides to voluntarily offload - and there is no dispute that the effects are negative. Your statements above are something of an emotive simplification of a complicated argument.

...This is the same poster as posted on a thread i posted saying all nervous passengers...

Thank you. I know this already, because I read every post in this forum - it sort of goes with the job. Telling the Teacher about somebody else being naughty in the playground isn't very grown-up behavior - No cookies for you in break time.








Are they putting something in the water today?
