You certainly are not ScottC.

How very ironic that the (cheap) shots taken at Catman have been here, in the FT Community (FTC) forum. The level of activity and friendship obvious here would suggest that FT is not JAFIBB, but a place that has brought together many people of different backgrounds, opinions, etc, etc...

Even a quick review of the threads (old and new) of FT Community (to say nothing of the airline forums), shows that FT is anything but JAFIBB.

It is not the first time an FT'er has received unpleasant emails from someone else. The reaction has usually been one of support -- instead Catman is told "Whatever" and when this reply is criticized, accusations of double standards are made.

Indeed, given that some in the IJAFIBB crowd are also the strongest proponent of the Community spirit (and have written at length on the "old times" v. new FT debate), I am quite astounded at the open season initiated following a simple (yet serious) query.

[Confused ramblings -hopefully- somewhat clarified.]
