Especially since this set of liars are tricking the stupid, inane and gullible, people who place a great deal of value in moderated forums reviews. These same people, they roll their eyes to the back of their sockets when they read these raving reviews and let themselves float in LaLaLand while making decisions with 1000s of bucks. And the reviewers and those who allow the lies damn well know this too. -- Think first!

Bill Trivial is to be defined as you wish but when millions of cruise dollars are being purposefully and maliciously influenced, I don't consider that trivial. There were over 3000 people on each pre-inaugural of Liberty, many of them travel agents who have far more influence over the millions of cruise dollars being spent. And you still have absolutely no proof that this program has caused people to change their posting habits. Especially since this set of liars are tricking the stupid, inane and gullible, Speak for yourself. Cruise Critic is so big that a few posters could not unduly influence the discussions there. And there are several RC's here, I don't see r.t.c becoming a RCI love fest. As I said, this claim that the RC program has caused people to become more positive towards RCI in their postings is bogus. Calling them liars is just moronic. Maybe it generated some really nice posts about Liberty, but it is a great ship that deserves good reviews. I haven't looked on Cruise Critic but I'd expect the reviews from paying customers to be overwhelmingly positive. Are they? Bill |

And you still have absolutely no proof that this program has caused people to change their posting habits. Uh, WTF has that to do with the fact that bogus, influenced, cruise reports affect millions of $$ of potential cruise sales. Especially since this set of liars are tricking the stupid, inane and gullible, Speak for yourself. Yeah like really? Where did I say I did not? Cruise Critic is so big that a few posters could not unduly influence the discussions there. And there are several RC's here, I don't see r.t.c becoming a RCI love fest. The fact that CC is "so big" is testimonial to their influence. As I said, this claim that the RC program has caused people to become more positive towards RCI in their postings is bogus. So you would say that all tho bogus, influenced reviews are detrimental or neutral? Calling them liars is just moronic. They are liars because they do not review without influence. What is it with you anyway? Maybe it generated some really nice posts about Liberty, but it is a great ship that deserves good reviews. I haven't looked on Cruise Critic but I'd expect the reviews from paying customers to be overwhelmingly positive. Are they? Bill I don't care about the other pax, I only care about the liars, the influenced and the compromised. My question with you is why do you prop up the obviously guilty? -- Think first!
