I'm not trying to stir anything up here, but I think an unprovoked, scathing attack deserves a little ass-whooping. We should expect that everyone who participates on this board be respectful -- not just to other posters but also to the forum itself. Someone should be made to feel unwelcome for participating in a community for which they have shown unmasked hostility and distain.
That said, BridalBliss's apology was classy and sincere. I'm glad things worked themselves out.
