Care to guess which one will have the most credibility?

You'll find your experience on Flyertalk much more entertaining if you stay friendly and relaxed.
I concur with ScottC's comment here. With all due respect vanderbilt, you could have served yourself better if you used a little honey in your response to jfe. You could have also performed a search regarding Omni and this would have revealed many issues, including the post count issue.

I have been around for a little while and I have seen jfe's welcoming hospitality to newcomers. I also am a frequent contributor to a forum that jfe moderates and can tell you that I believe him to be a great asset to FlyerTalk. jfe has been gracious to me and he is certainly welcome in my home.

There are 2 approaches a new member can take in their journey with FlyerTalk.

1) Engage topics in an abrupt and confrontational manner and sling out jabs at will.

or

2) Use restraint, think your response out before submitting the reply.

Of course I attempt to use approach #2 but I do fail from time to time. When I am wrong, I have apologized. Maybe you should think about how you want to be thought of here in FlyerTalk, and in the world. I will give you some slack as you are young and still learning how it is in this world. Take my advice, approach your differences and responses a little softer and with respect, even if the person you are responding to does not deserve it. Then again, what do I know? I have only been in customer service for the world's leading robotic system manufacturer dealing directly with people that are not happy with the product or service.

Best of luck in the future vanderbilt.
