As posted yesterday the whole theme of TBB has changed drastically as I just do not have the time to be writing long posts with too much commentary. But I still want to share with you what I find worthy and once in a while I will be making some deeper posts. There is no set schedule,. so check back often. Most will be quick and could be more than once a day! It just depends on my insane schedule.
I still aim to educate, inspire and entertain. If I do one of these well so be it.
COMMENTS/FEEDBACK AND CENSORING
At TBB I invite feedback at all times and we proudly do NOT censor! Censoring makes me want to throw up in my mouth (there I go again, lol). Why? I will let you read the post below by Canarsie (FT Moderator) which I absolutely agree with! (post #1376):
The only reader comments which should be censored are “spam” and possibly profanity, if the desire is to keep the commentary suitable for all ages.
I look at it this way: feedback is a gift. Regardless of whether the response is positive or negative in tone — if a reader is willing to give up his or her own time and effort to post a comment to something which you have written, that means that that person is reading what you wrote. That same person could simply not bother to comment if it was not worth his or her time or effort — which would indeed be an easier decision to make.
While it is always nice to receive positive comments, the best comments are usually from those who offer constructive criticism from which the “blogger” and other readers can actually learn — and when done in a civil discourse, that helps the weblog to become that much more useful.
And this is what TBB is about! Most of you get it!
So, I am running behind, here are a few blog posts I found worthy:
30 incredible and tragically beautiful images of the world’s most haunting shipwrecks From Francesco Mugnai Blog
Trip Report from Afganistan. Pointchaser
Paradise found at Anantara Kihavah Villas Maldives Jdomb’s Travels. Why no one proposes to sponsor me in trips like this? I am not paying $2,600 per night here when there are so many properties in Maldives with points!
I wrote to Delta to complain and they gave me 7.5k SkyMiles. Anyone care for me to post my letter and the excellent Delta response?
I finally played soccer after two months! Won both games 4-3 & 2-1. Felt great to be out there again but I will feel it tomorrow! #Winning
So what did you complain about? And it must have been pretty minor considering 7500 Skypesos aren’t worth much…
2 hrs delay without notice caused me to miss meeting in ATL
no upgrade as Plat (ok, I know how this goes, I threw it in there for extra factor)
Two drops of water from emergency door pull cover near landing (the main reason I wrote so they can look into it,could be a major maintenance problem!)
I also told them that 3 out of 4 legs of my trip were perfect. And the two ATL GAs were the BEST I have ever seen.
Delta’s response was fantastic, they do actually read everything and respond to each point. It is the way airline responses should be.
I am fine with just 7.5k…I expected more and I am not going to sue about it;-)
I just complained today about a relatively minor issue with DL and they threw 5K SM in my account.
I was robbed:-)
Remember that US Airways CC post that your boy The Plagiarizing Guy wrote on Friday that made best of?
Well take a guess which CC made it’s way into his post today….
I am not there yet. My first reaction from your comment is “Payroll is tomorrow:-) “
Odds are by the time you get there, he’ll have apologized for “accidentally” putting the wrong link and put in the correct one
And LOL, in his reporting a deal long past everyone else having done so (the Amex 25 for 15), he didn’t actually bother checking if the deal was still alive
….. and now he removed that post too
Didn’t get a chance to see if he plagiarized something there too.
Man, he’s had a rough few days
Maybe he reads the comments here? 🙂
