I didn;t see anyone slamming you personally - just that to this group of frequent fliers , your request seemed out of line. I think the poster who told the story about Southwest was mostly trying to make a point about southwest and how unlikely it was that they would give a voucher. The fact that a number of people gave you honest feedback is hopefully what you wanted?

And in my book if you are implying your friend had a heart attack indirectly because of the stress of the flight that is a pretty serious accusation in its own right. FLying i s not totally without risk and while this must have been a very frightening experience, it does happen and mostly no one gets compensated for it...
