I was joking about the numbers.. I can't believe how many of you think that is a good idea! Judge, if you go to a restaurant and it is lousy, do you think you should have the permission of the owner before you bad mouth them publicly? Should you be prevented from naming the bad waiter? If not, perhaps you think it should only apply to the internet. (In which case, I assume you will be calling for Trip Advisor to be banned, which names people as do many other "review" websites). Or perhaps, you just think it is only airline employees who should get this special protection. We can also kiss goodbye to movie reviews, critical reviews of actors unless they are notified and given a right to reply, restaurant critics, consumer websites, etc. It would be like the kind of trouble you get into if you criticise the King in Thailand, and who would be comfortable there? Oh yeah, sorry.....
For pities sake stop saying she can't defend herself. If she doesn't know she has been attacked, she doesn't need to defend herself. If she does, she can come on here and post her "right to reply". Which part of the first amendment are you opposed to? Freedom of speech is NOT a new concept...it was enshrined in the British Bill of Rights of 1689, the French Declaration of the Rights of Man in 1789, European, American and African Charters of Human Rights and the US Constitution. I can't believe how readily you, as proud Americans, are willing to give up this hard fought human right, to protect the feelings of a Delta Supervisor with a bad attitude.
