Travel Forum / Destinations / USA and Canada / January 2006Fodors Discussion Board - What a joke!
I've never run into a more repressive bunch of right-wing nutbags in my entire life. Better watch what you post on their "travel" board, which features such on-topic discussions as "Where were you on 9/11?" and "Do you thank our troops on airplanes?", while any post which dares to criticize or even question this kind of thinly-veiled propaganda is immediately removed without any comment or explanation. I guess it's a sign of the times I guess.. An utterly pussy-whipped nation full of abysmally ignorant dittoheads and security soccer moms, being led by President and White House which have made political careers out of terror and fear for over four years. > I've never run into a more repressive bunch of right-wing nutbags > in my entire life. [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > moms, being led by President and White House which have made > political careers out of terror and fear for over four years. Are you forced to go to that board against your will? I love the Reverand/Mullah Bush! >> I've never run into a more repressive bunch of right-wing nutbags >> in my entire life. [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > Are you forced to go to that board against your will? Has any one been on Frommers board? I haven't but I'm curious about that one. I spent a little time on the Fodors board just now, and most posters there seem fine. >I spent a little time on the Fodors board just now, >and most posters there seem fine. Yeah, sure they do. But don't look in the basement. That's where they keep the bodies. > I've never run into a more repressive bunch of right-wing nutbags > in my entire life.

Thanks for the warning guys. -- Karen > I've never run into a more repressive bunch of right-wing nutbags > in my entire life. Just for the record, I have found the Fodor discussion board very helpful. And I (a left-leaner) can't remember anything political at all. But maybe that was in some thread I didn't read.

It _is_ very helpful, which is why I haven't blown them off completely. My comment is directed toward the editors (actually one editor in particular) of the website, not the participants. Believe me I'd much rather rant there about the problem than here. > And I (a left-leaner) can't remember anything political at all. But maybe > that was in some thread I didn't read. A dozen different threads in the past few months have been nothing more than thinly veiled political propaganda.. E.g. "Do you thank our troops on airplanes?", etc. In fact there's one running now: "Where were you when you heard about 911?" Posts from those who complain about this nonsense, or even dare to question its relevance to travel are pulled without any explanation or comment. This started a few months ago, when a certain cretin came onboard Fodor's editing staff. I know this guy, he's a raging right-wing nutbag, and I knew he'd eventually turn Fodors into his own political soapbox. "HonestAbe" is his latest sock puppet. For months now there have been problems at Fodor's and many posters with good information have either been banned or left on their own. The whole tone of the place has changed. Too bad, since it was a great board. I know this guy, he's a raging > right-wing nutbag, and I knew he'd eventually turn Fodors > into his own political soapbox. And you are obviously a raging left-wing nutbag. The more lunatic one is whether left or right, the more one whines and complains about what the other side is doing that is just like the complainer does.

Actually, there are more posts on Frommers.com talk, and all the states have seperate folders. It's more informative and stays on travel subjects. > The more lunatic one is whether left or right, the more one whines and > complains about what the other side is doing that is just like the > complainer does. Excuse me, but complaining about what's been going on at Fodors -- namely an editor who's using a public travel board as his own private political soapbox -- hardly qualifies as whining, let alone lunacy. The a.shole is using Random House's corporate policy to advance his own political views, and to squelch those who dare to question what he's doing. BTW both Random House and Bertelsmann AG seem interested in what I have to say. Hopefully they will do something about the problem. |
