Vanderbilt,
Over the years, I've learned multiple things posting on Flyertalk; and one of them is to never take anything personally.
JFE wasn't responding to you as much as he was responding to the words printed in your post. Sometimes, those cute smiley faces can be misunderstood. Ok, maybe not sometimes.
As for jfe, well, what can I say.

He's a good guy. Give him a second chance.
Remember, nothing personal.
