The Devil's Advocate and I are in the middle of a bit of a kerfuffle. The truth is that when his weekly series started, it presented a unique perspective. Unfortunately the quality of his content has gone down faster than a bottle of Krug in Cathay Pacific first class. I'll admit, though, that he got…

So he's basically Aviva Dreschering you.
And this is your Heather Thomson "motherf*@&er" moment.
Next time, please put the bottom line (quite apt IMHO) at the top to save us from 5 minutes of mindless drivel.
how many readers does his blog have anyway? i bet it's a fraction of your readership... why do you even care what he writes?
if you had not posted it here, all 3 of his readers would know about it...
😉
"a mouthful of warm nuts" - whatever works for you.... hehe
All I can say is that the DA is obsessed with you. I see the love fest cooking.
Measuring anything in terms of reality TV is flawed on two levels.
Get over it and move on.
Lucky, do what always should be done when encountering a troll: don't feed it!
I had never heard of this person until I read this post. If you don't fan these flames, they will go out.
When people troll each other this hard but that poorly, it is because they are in love with each other and don't want to admit it.
Take the high road, brother! Unfortunately ANY comment your write at this point only benefits putting a spotlight on "he who's name should not even be mentioned". You know his comeback is on the way.....don't fall into the trap of responding.
"My name is on the streets? My name IS my name!"
Be be quoted on the interwebs 2x in one day has my head spinning. I really do find this back and forth between the DA & Plucky amusing, although I think that this particular topic has run its course.
I do want to clarify that those 8400 Frontier points I cashed out for a pizza-like-Frisbee were hard earned, BIS miles. Back in the good old days when warm chocolate chip cookies were handing out to those of us still nostalgic for Midwest and before Frontier engaged Spirit in a race to the bottom. I would never swap AMEX points for Frontier miles.
I have however, happily shuffled MR off the BA back when they had a 40% bonus (God I miss those bonuses) and used Avios to book a otherwise ridiculously overpriced flight home for Christmas.
So I think Amex points do have value, so long as the Avios program doesn't change. I have the new AMEX everyday card & about 90k MR tied to it just praying for another bonus to BA. Or maybe I'll combine them with UR for Singapore redemption someday.
So remember to DA & Plucky, "You come at the king, you best not miss."
The only part that got me was the one direction show. You really like them or its just you being ironic? Because I do 🙂
Not fun or entertaining. I know both of you are doing it for fun, but it sounds like an inside joke. You both can produce much better quality posts.
Who is Julian? Is that the DA's actual name?
BTW, sounds like DA is similar to Sonja; quite delusionaaaallllll! 😉
Lucky - take a deep breath, and then head over to this url:
I PROMISE this will make your day better
Wasting energy on troll is counter productive.
Your blog is awesome.
btw where is AI trip report get back to work... 🙂
This is obviously not a real kerfuffle. Bloggers will be bloggers. It's all quite silly.
Aside from that, I imagine your relationship with Amex has a significant impact on your feelings on MR.
Ben,
This is great !!! Had not laughed so hard in quite some time.
Your blog is awesome. Keep it up 🙂
Almost as good as NeNe vs. Kenya Moore. You get the privilege of being NeNe in my head.
TEAM LUCKY AGAIN!!! Lucky seems to just WIN these point by point arguments. Why does this other unknown guy I've never heard of even try?
No offence to you Lucky, but these kind of high-school mud-throwing posts back and forth is not why I read your blog. Its too bad that this GIF war has to clutter the actual content that most of us come here for..
This whole grand post is a perfect example of feeding the troll.
I say disengage sir.
Hah! Lucky, I never heard of DA till you linked to him and while I enjoyed his good humored jab at you for Lufthansa-Love, his recent comeback to your comeback to his MR post seems to have descended a few rungs on the ladder of good-natured gentlemanly blogging.
I love your blog and I love the GIFs but I don't watch Real Housewives because it's a lot of needless drama. So I hope you don't bite any more of the DA's bait and we end up with a lot of needless drama on here. I was looking forward to start reading DA's blog regularly till I read his most recent post and realized he's running out of original material.
Keep up the good work. Love your writing and what you do for a living and look forward to meeting you in person someday.
If you as a proud Male American would rather go see some foriegn teeny booper concert (last time I checked you're halfway to 48) than our Nation's greatest sport, then there's something seriously wrong with you.
The devils guy posts are getting more and more silly . Am I the only one who never saw any value in his posts?
Who is this guy ? I cannot even find his "blog" on google typing "review flight/plane/first class..." Don't waste your time with this "troll" and continue your hard work... He is going to disappear sooner or later ^^
