Re: Marriott Going to Point Syst (by Mark D.):

kathyw84 - perhaps I read more into the following post that you made on Oct. 28, 2010:

"25% of the people in the U.S. also wanted Universal Health Care, and those 25% are probably bragging about it, but what about the 75% who didn't want it? It's great that ermanc and rick1227 are happy with the new points system, but please don't tell me that Marriott listens to the owners, as they wouldn't have gone to this system, if so. About 75 % of the owners have rejected the new program. Next thing I'll hear you both saying is that Obama is also listening....."

Taking partisan political shots on a board that is timeshare specific is rather inflammatory. Of course this could have led to lots of political fighting about health care and Obama on a board about timeshares, but luckily it did not. And perhaps you did not intend to do this, only trying to find a metaphor for the new points program, so I was just going to leave it alone.

Then in your post on Jan. 1 to a gentleman named Dennis, you called him rude and called for courtesy on the board, which I felt was a bit hypocritical, in that you had previously made statements that could have stirred up quite a hornet's nest.

Of couse, I probably overreacted, and for that I apologize. Also, having just read through nearly all 19 pages of this topic, I was kinda worn down! and, being new to this site, thought that my reply would be posted right under your original post, where it would have context.

I'm sure that now after a few months have passed since your posts, my reply seems quite jarring! And if I could undo it, I would.
