Double standards

[beardoc]

But it seems as though I must be silenced by faceless people without explanation.

I'm intrigued by your characterisation of other people on this board as "faceless" - suggesting that they're actively trying to hide their identity.

Before you start accusing others of that, it should be noted that you could be characterised as "faceless" as well. I don't see you doing anything to establish your identity on here, hence you are as faceless as everyone else here. The username change from woxlee to Feper is one of intrigue for me - why do that?

Accusing others of being faceless whilst being faceless yourself doesn't strike me as tremendously productive behaviour in a community like AFF.

all my my posts are my opinion, backed up by me experience, even if you disagree with everyone of my opinions, do I not have the right to express them?

You have every right to express them.

For what it is worth whilst I may not agree with your opinion I do not agree with the recent trends on AFF to jump down people's throats especially new posters.

You do realise in this case, Feper has been around longer than me well, at least woxlee

Yes I do. I saw the sign up date.

My response is the same to anyone joining AFF and wanting to vent their frustration and creating a thread. So what happens is people jump down their throats and the person never to be seen again.

Everyone is different, with different opinions and a different way of expressing it. What may seem to trivial to some is very important and stressful to others. Quote easy to ignore a thread without jumping down someone's throat for getting up the courage to post.

If you stand up and speak out against the grain, you are silenced immediately, I have not sworn, personally attacked anyone, or tried to use this facility for financial gain.

I really don't think you have been "silenced". You are free to post what ever you want [bearing in mind the moderation rules], however you must be prepared to accept that others may not agree with your views and/or may take offence to your views. If this occurs, then they will likely post in response to your comment, and you need to accept that a thick skin may be required. If you can't accept this - then how on earth do you handle life elsewhere? Not everyone will agree with your views in the general community.

What I have done is express unpopular opinions but backed them up with a lot of experience.

Like others, I don't recall "evidence" being presented for your opinions. Just opinions that are very unpopular that people will comment on. For example, if I said:
"Qantas should scrap WP One as it provides no benefits", then WP Ones and others will obviously disagree with me, and challenge my point.

But it seems as though I must be silenced by faceless people without explanation.

Again, I can't see you being "silenced".

It seems to me that double standards are running amok throughout the AFF.

Such a shame to see AFF go this way.

Feper,

I fail to see what and where the double standards are to which you refer.

As you say you have spoken out strongly and you have not sworn. You have however, presented opinion as fact and done so in an aggressive manner that attacked people and required moderation. When others have responded with similar strong opinions you have not liked it.

With regard to faceless people.... Most here, yourself included are as faceless as each other. You could add a photo of yourself to your avatar as I have done with mine.

Personally I welcome your strong opinions but in doing so note that they are opinions. If you present facts you need to substantiate them or people will not accept them. (We've seen it so many times.) If you don't like what people say about you then use the report function so all the mods are alerted rather than one who may or may not be browsing the particular thread.

I have moved this thread to Suggestions and Feedback. I'm not sure what value there is in leaving it open but will do so in the short term.

 

[awilcockson]

personally attacked anyone

That may be the case, but when you take the time to deride, belittle and attemp to place yourself above a valued member of the forum, for absolutely no reason whatsoever, then you are immediately on my ignore list.

I don't think you are sorry, I think you're very happy to point it out obnoxiously every chance you get. Not sure why though.

You can only dream to be me.

Yes that is an interesting claim. Juxtapose that with people like, oh I don't know ... myself, who are actually willing to put themselves out there without hiding behind an anonymous identity.

all my my posts are my opinion, backed up by me experience, even if you disagree with everyone of my opinions, do I not have the right to express them?

Absolutely you do. What you don't have is the right to claim that you are being victimised by people on this board - the "faceless people" whom you claim that are silencing you, whilst you have remained faceless yourself. And you've attempted to use the fact that you're faceless and unidentifiable to your benefit:

I'm sorry but as a woman, I find this term extremely offensive

i am a single father and in the past have signed up my young daughter as my partner gold member, the QF team just rang me and informed that " as such a valued customer we will make a one off exemption".

I suspect you are changing your reported gender to gain advantage in an argument. Forgive everyone if we <are not taking> you seriously.

Bazinga. How quickly this sort of thing comes undone!

Re: Surely it is now now time to change lounge access rules

Still searching for something inspirational from some.

Well your credibility has been shot to pieces now hasn't it. Claiming you are a woman, posting previously (which you obviously forgot you posted) you were a man, answer this Msr (hybrid salutation) Feper, why would anyone believe a word you say?

 

[nlagalle]

Good work CSI Beardoc

Actually it was Det sgt MunitalP who cracked the case....

Aside from that, Feper you have done your case no help at all by lying.

Good work CSI Beardoc

I didn't do the legwork for this, that belongs to munitalP - but I did think it was worth being posted in this thread.

So we have a faceless and dual sex person whinging about double standards.

Are you male or female ?
AFF go this way ? You are pretty new here, so how do you know what it was like before ?

Actually he/she registered back in 2008 so has been around for a while.

Re: Qantas to upgrade business class sleep experience

This is why I am complaing about being silenced, because 5 times my posts have been removed for critising the difference between this post and mine refering to a medical product that is feely advertised.

It's just that when you lie (about being a woman) to try to support your argument, we have a really tough time listening to what you have to say. You had a point there in the past, but given it was lost in a quagmire of deceit to try to continue arguing, we no longer see any point in what you're saying.

Excellent discovery work munitalP !


Since we are now talking about man and/or woman ...... how's this thai singer?
