Because starting with your last note in the thread, the discussion turned to how to screw the insurance company, and I don't think that's an appropriate subject for this forum.

while you may be entitled to your opinion of insurance companies in general, comments like the above are uncalled for.   my father is an independent insurance agent for one of the highest-rated u.s. insurance companies and i take great offense by your comment.

had nonny not locked the thread then i would have.

Point of clarification. How to screw over companies is not an appropriate discussion in this forum for any type of company - not just insurance companies.

saying 'i don't like insurance companies' is an opinion and you're entitled to voice your opinion all you want.   saying 'screw them over, they deserve it' is an offensive comment and will quickly result in a locked thread or deleted post.
