Thanksgiving - a time for sharing the love?
Not so for these two flyers who engaged in a bitter war of words at 30,000-feet — before it ended with a slap and near police prosecution at the airport.
LA TV producer Elan Gale enthralled his Twitter followers Thursday when he used the micro-blogging site to take-down an apparently nasty woman on board his flight to Phoenix.

Gale sends a nasty note to the woman causing a disturbance on the flight.
The entire exchange was recorded in real-time by Buzzfeed.
Gale, who claims to be a producer on ABC's The Bachelor, first tweeted at 11 a.m. after being told his plane would be taking off late.
But he went into overdrive after finally boarding the craft — and on hearing a woman several rows behind consistently complaining about the delay.

The war of words escalates.
Our flight is delayed. A woman on here is very upset because she has Thanksgiving plans. She is the only one obviously. Praying for her
— elan gale (@theyearofelan) November 28, 2013 "She's telling the flight attendants that it is Thanksgiving. She wants them to know she wants to have dinner with her family," he added.

Gale launches into a profanity-laced response to one of Diane’s nasty replies.
"The male flight attendant said 'I understand ma'am. I'm looking forward to seeing my family too.' She responded 'This isn't about you,'" Gale continued to tweet.
She had to sit down because we took off. She has been muttering "about DAMN time" and I can hear her breathing from 5 rows back

The 30-year-old Gale got his start as a producer on the reality shows ‘Cookin’ with Coolio’ and ‘Coolio’s Rules.’
"Dear Lady in 7A, It has come to my attention that today is your 'Thanksgiving!' It must be hard to not be with your family. Please accept this glass of wine. It is a gift from me to you," he wrote.
"Hopefully if you drink it, you won't be able to use your mouth to talk. Love Elan," he added.
The male flight attendant refused to deliver the "gift," so Gale handed it over himself.

Gale shows off the note that he received from his sparring partner.
"Oh my God I did it. I walked as if I was going to the bathroom and I leaned over and put them on her tray table and walked away Oh my God," he posted online.
The woman, clearly incensed, struck back with her own message.
"Dear 'Elan,' The wine wasn't funny. The vodka wasn't funny. You're an awful person with no compassion. I'm sorry for your family that they should have to deal with you. — Diane," she replied.

Elan Gale, a producer on ABC's 'The Bachelor' got into a fight with a fellow passenger on a flight on Thanksgiving Day and detailed the argument on Twitter.
"This means war," Gale posted, before revealing "Diane" was "in her late 40s or early 50s" and was "wearing mom jeans and a studded belt."
Another note was passed over to her, which read: "Dear Diane, Thank you for your lovely note. The person who lacks compassion is you."
It added: "We all want to get home, particularly the nice men and women who fly your lazy ass around and serve you drinks (you're welcome!)

Gale received a slap in the face at the gate from the woman identified only as Diane - but declined to press charges.
And he ended: "Next time you're in a bad mood, stay home. I hate you very much. Eat my d***. Love Elan."
Diane fired back with another message, threatening to contact the cops on landing.
Gale just couldn't let it go, however, and replied: "Dear Diane. When you speak to the authorities, please make sure they arrest you for cannibalism because you just ate my d***! Love Elan."
Back on firm ground at Phoenix, she walked up and slapped Gale straight in the face.
A gate agent detained Diane and asked Gale if he wanted her to be arrested.
Gale said he didn't — but revealed he was "overjoyed" to learn she'd missed her connecting flight to Sacramento.
He then had one last message, which read: "Diane, allow me to introduce myself. I am TheYearOfElan. Look me up online. read every tweet.
"Read every response. And maybe next time you'll be nice to people who are just trying to help. PS Eat my d***. Love Elan."
Let me just say this: What started off as an annoyance became a pleasure because of you people. Seriously. More than anything. I love you
