It's kind of interesting how everyone responding to Angry Canadian's post made an effort to be polite and constructive with the exception of PHXFlyer, who berated the OP mercilessly. It's also interesting to note how often PHX enjoys pointing out to OPs how lucky they were not to have been arrested. PHX "assumes" that the door in question was behind the airline counter, and further assumes that (if it in fact was) the OP's action of going behind the counter was improper and even grounds for his or her arrest. No sympathy is extended to the OP by PHX stemming from the fact that he/she was treated rudely by airline personnel.
I think PHX enjoys telling people that they were lucky not to have been carted off to jail because it enables him to live out vicariously the same power trip that many flight attendants and prison guards often derive perverse pleasure from. In any case, it is clear that PHX has a subversive agenda on this website, which I suspect is motivated in large part by his professional disposition. Whatever the reason, I'm growing tired of PHX's inclination to treat the complaints of victimized airline passengers with overt contempt. I wonder just how long his revolting rampage will be further tolerated in what should otherwise be a virulently pro-consumer forum.
