Younger demographic poses some challenges

Negative reaction often leads to an increase in traffic.
Feedback has not been kind.
My in-box is so full of nauseating retorts defending all the bad behaviour that drives most of us batshit crazy that I've resorted to just trashing without reading - something I never do.
I don't want to paint them all with a black brush. I know there are several younger passengers who don't like dirty feet on the seats or people who indulge in all your space, but they're overpowered by their self-entitled counterparts.
Surprisingly, not one email or tweet or instagram comment was in protest to anything about smoking.
There is hope.
To protect the integrity of the comments, I won't be allowing for insults, vulgar remarks or name-calling to be published. I'm not a fan of censorship but there's only so many times I can read the word "loser" and the phrase "get a hobby".
I'm sure you feel the same.

    These people really need to get a dictionary, there are so many better insults than calling someone a loser.

    I studied biology in university, I used to call my brother prokaryotic.

    @GG:
    I love Troglodytes! They later became The Troggs and released songs like Wild Thing and Love is All Around. Yeah, yeah, I know. I’m a dinosaur. ;-)

    But to your point, and TT's, a weak vocabulary is a sad thing and symptomatic of a weak mind.

    I'm a young fan. And I hate when people think their bag can take up a seat or putting their disgusting feet on the seats. I especially hate when people think they have a right to smoke wherever. I'm 22 and I can't tolerate people smoking. That shit gives me an instant headache
