Cruise Critic Censorship
I just want to say that I feel much better now that people are using
my initials in the correct order! And a point to clarify and build on what is noted in several posts: I'm not what I or others call a regular here. I've long read it, and with my particular focus on my own websites, don't make an attempt to be a "regular" here or anyplace. I mainly respond to RCI related posts only, announce articles on my own site, etc. I don't bother to do so on CC or Cruise Mates precisely because I gain nothing for my own project in doing so. It isn't personal against those sites, their policies are fair enough. But I prefer to invest most of my time in my own project where it can gain the most from my efforts. I'm no man's schill but my own! My comments on this topic speak about the entire online community, ranging from Cruise Critic, Cruise Mates, Cruise Addicts, Cruise Crazies, RTC, and some more obscure locations online. To be honest, and speaking in good humor, I'm not sure I could afford to join the insanity here in depth! Indeed, I stopped reading Cruise Critic precisely because the Liberty cruise turned the entire forum into a mess. Too many people trying to impress RCI. I would even go further to say that some who aren't and won't ever be among these RC's were as bad and worse than anything. People were dressing-up old cruise reviews, going way over the top with the superlatives. I don't recall anybody among the RTC crowd being among the posts I would single out as bad examples. This forum, by its nature, tends to be the rebel among the others. It can be a rough crowd here, but in that, it does tend to be fair. Personally I can't link you to any specific examples. And I have not spent a massive amount of time going back to read-up on the Cruise Critic posts. I would considering doing so a waste. What I know is what I recall reading on the commercial sites two years ago. In the online chats I'm having with people who read this group, and the others, the tendency of people to continue over-the-top posts continues. Most don't have anything to do with any free cruise RCI provided, but the jealous types and other unhappy campers know there is another round of Royal Champion events coming, and they feel the people who were on the cruises are either being paid, or having future perks dangled in return for something. No such agreement exists, but then that is getting back to the debate. Curiously, I'm reading over HH's comments, and maybe I missed something, but I don't see name calling or attacks, nor do I get why the attacks on HH are underway. What would be constructive might be to discuss in what ways and at what times somebody ought to note they have been on a Royal Champion trip. Does it have to be only for cruises offered as part of that program, or do all cruises after that have to be denoted as being discussed by a person who has been invited to be an RC?

Another FWIW - In my opinion, anonymous posts like these are little more than cyber-graffiti. I never did understand why people are afraid to sign their posts... unless they are ashamed or embarrassed about something. There is defiantly a lack of social skills involved. Well, Goerge, some people don't like to associate themselves with poor spelllling and improper word usages. LOL Some people post from work and it's required. Some from countries that filter and censor. Some people post from countries that read every email, listen in on every phone call, capture every bit of electronic data and , in the process, keep a near eternal history of your online and a great deal of your offline commo. Like in the US. -- http://tinyurl.com/5gt7 |
