I can't help feeling that's a little harsh, II. Fish did not 'trash' your post, nor, I can assure you, is he in the habit of insulting people. I also can't but help feel that you've actually got off quite lightly here as most people whose first ever post on these boards is "how can I blag an upgrade?" usually get thrown to the wolves.
I have to confess to being a little confused about all of this though; after everything, you eventually admit that your wife's injury wasn't actually that bad, it didn't immobilize her and she could easily manage the kids:
With this in mind, I would be a little careful about bragging on a public fora about how you effectively managed to "pull the wool" over the airline's eyes. Having worked as a commercial pilot for many years, I can assure you that such things do not go down terribly well with either the airline nor with the passengers who pay a small fortune to sit in the seats that you and your wife seemingly managed to con the airline into giving her for nothing. If I were you Sir, I'd currently be battling with my own conscience now, rather than with Mr Fish. . .

JCX,
Being new to the forum I did not know that such posts were not welcome here, so I agree it is my error in asking such a question.
As for my wife`s injury I had never said that it was immobilizing her,my first post was on the day of the injury and in the next 2 days things progressed well enough for her.
Also when at the airport we requested the agent for either a comp upgrade or we were ready to pay having made our mind to spend the money,it was the airline discretion to give us the upgrade so having conned the airline did not exsist unless you have some different meaning for the word con.
As for Fish what offended me was the word sympathy used in a derogatory manner.
Anyways learnt my lesson about this forum.
