Affiliate network rules require a browser extension to "stand down" - say nothing at all -- when a user clicks another affiliate's links. But Wildfire opens "reactivate" windows trying to grab commission back. www.benedelman.org/reactivate-w...

KLM took a passenger’s points & fees for award travel, confirmed the booking, but issued no ticket. He was turned away at the airport and had to buy an expensive last-minute ticket. KLM admitted its error but offered only a voucher worth less than half his loss. www.regulations.gov/document/DOT...

Also at www.regulations.gov/document/DOT... . Wild facts -- AF issued ticket, sent email, let passengers check in... and then AF canceled. Then AF customer service accidentally forwarded the customer their internal deliberations trying to figure out why they canceled the ticket. What a mess!

In a 2015 meeting, FRB members discussed learnings from interviews. P.9: Edmondson: says "everyone loves him" (meaning me) and explains why -- that I'm useful to know ("gets them free stuff"). www.edelman-v-harvard.org/sj-docs/ja-e... I do try to be useful. Why is this grounds for criticism?

Ben Edelman @benedelman.org · 01/03/2026

When Edmondson gathered evidence, it kept portraying me positively. For example, first two interviews were positive. www.edelman-v-harvard.org/sj-docs/ja-e... To that, she proclaimed "sigh." www.edelman-v-harvard.org/sj-docs/ja-e... She WANTED people to criticize me and was annoyed when they didn't.

In deposition, FRB member Stu Gilson said my class action against American Airlines (re bag fee overcharges) was improper bc it could cause AA not to enroll in HBS executive programs. Transcript below. www.edelman-v-harvard.org/sj-docs/ja-d... page 10. But I violated no policy. Big company bias.

As to "abrasive": I don't think we've met, so your information is probably what you read about me or what you inferred. Respectfully, you may be wrong. Check out these excerpts from my submission to FRB as I fought to clear my name. More at www.edelman-v-harvard.org/sj-docs/ja-e... p.42

People thought I was bullying the restaurant. But family court docs say he drove a $289k Mercedes, while I rode a bike. Who's the bully? I wrote in my personal capacity. He figured out I was Harvard faculty, saw a way to get free publicity at my expense. I got played on multiple levels.

Much more to the restaurant kerfuffle than most people know. Restaurateur had overcharged for years, other customers complained, and he once called the police in response to a customer complaint. Some screenshots here. I have more.

Preformed conclusion. When chair Amy Edmondson received evidence that presented me favorably, she said she was "anxious". Called that subject "not the right one to pick"--meaning the "right" subject would be one that presented me negatively. Opposite of following the evidence.

In response to Megalag's video and my article showing Honey not just failing to stand down, but affirmatively concealing that violation -- affiliate networks Rakuten and Impact have expelled and suspended Honey.

Rakuten message to merchants about expelling Honey

Impact message to merchants about suspending Honey

I posted Summary Judgment briefs and exhibits for Edelman v. Harvard. 1000+ pages of exhibits. Overall, these show the HBS “Faculty Review Board” not following the governing procedures, and not seriously trying. www.edelman-v-harvard.org/summary-judg... (1/11)

Filings includes never-before-publicly-accessible transcript of Judge Brinkema's criticism of Google misconduct in his August 27, 2024 hearing. Highlighting by me. "Smoking guns" and "a whole bunch of problems" when Google decided "to try to hide relevant information."

Borenberg presents an Amex "Manage My Trips" screen that said, plain as can be, that this flight would be "Operated by Japan Airlines." But it was, and was always slated to be, operated by AA. If I paid $5k for a one-way JL business class flight, and got AA instead, I would be ANGRY!

DOT today fined Turkish Airlines for arbitrarily limiting baggage reimbursements in violation of Montreal Convention. DOT learned about this thanks to an excellent third-party complaint from Mirel Baumgarten, submitted using template and instructions on my site. www.benedelman.org/turkish-bag-...

Many people watched MegaLag's excellent video about Honey claiming affiliate commissions not fairly earned. But this is more than a question of fairness. There are detailed contracts on point. benedelman.org/honey-breach...
