Maybe you missed it, but there has already been a thread started on this topic. I will merge the two so you can see that plenty has been said bad about this situation without people resorting to making libelous comments. Jamaica has very strict libel laws and being a Jamaican company (not your Facebook page), we have to adhere to the law. Because of the permits granted to Azul by the government and the stipulations (fine print) in those permits, their lawyers are working out the details. Your comment, as you made it, was libel and needed to be removed.
As for the rumor and speculation, in the first thread (which is merged with this one now), the wrong property was referenced twice. That can cause harm to the innocent property mentioned. I had to remove those two posts. In this thread, it has been speculated that Azul had left the island twice, when they have not. If you have a room booked at Azul and read these false statements and took them as the truth, you would panic that you would not have a place to stay. I personally had to spend days assisting visitors find rooms when SeaWind actually closed. Trust me, people were in PANIC mode and to needlessly put others through that when it is NOT true is cruel.
wrtiii posted a great google search link and you can read as much truthful bad things as your heart desires. but you wont read rumor and speculation in the Gleaner articles either. Here is the google search link again:
site:jamaicagleaner.com negril sand
then choose "News" from the headings (may be under More/News).
As wrtiii added:
"My expectation is that posting reasonable comments there would be more effective than posting comments here. But please be respectful of the opinions of the actual Jamaicans if you are not one of them."
