Skeptics should read the NakedCapitalism post (http://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2017/04/united-passenger-remo...) which not only brings up the Reddit post but also includes references from the FAA, CFR, and United's Contract of Carriage.

I just want to note that the Reddit post itself is originally from here: http://disq.us/p/1hqpe1x

It has been checked by others ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14099630 ) and looks alright. If the information contains factual errors, please point at least one of these out, instead of posting character assassination.

I object to the parent's question as being a form of character assassination. There's a lot of garbage written on the internet, and claims of being a lawyer or in any way an authority on a particular subject should be questioned.

It's great that others have checked out the guy's statements, but I think the downvotes on the parent and easy dismissal of his/her IMO reasonable question is a bit much.

>> 'easy dismissal of his/her IMO reasonable question'

Except their tone / style was far from reasonable. It was arrogant and elitist. If they have concerns about the authenticity of reddit posts, there are far better ways of wording it, instead of going lulzzz reddit hurr durr.
