sure they can. Delta is a private company, they can bar anyone from their services whenever and for however long they like.

Actual Sean Bean coloured. It’s covered in a mural depicting Bean’s characters from all the movies he’s died in (it’s a big boathouse)

“Not entirely successful.”

And you guys are cracking me up with the boathouse continuation jokes!😃

I’m going down to HD after work and buying a gallon of Behr in Sean Bean, for the kitchen.

I think the important thing to take away from this conversation is that Ron425 was locked and loaded to protect and defend that Great American Trump Patriot aboard that Delta flight to Benghazi before the passenger was ordered killed by Mrs. Clinton.

And for that we owe Ron425 our respect and gratitude.

Can I just give up my gratitude and retain my respect?

That’s how it is nowadays. Front line soldiers are told in great detail why they are being given their particular orders and asked their opinions. The helicopter parenting is even affecting the armed forces.

Can a Mod do something about ron425? He’s obviously a fake, but worse has completely hijacked the thread.

I don’t think they can bar someone for simply being a member of a protected class (women, Jews, etc.).

They can ban someone for being in an _unprotected_ class (e.g. obnoxious assholes). This has always seemed unfair to me — can’t obnoxity be an inherited disorder over which the asshole has little control?
