Like you said, you can't control how others react. Whether intended or not, I wouldn't be surprised if she was hurt by these comments. Hell, I'd be beyond pissed myself. That's why we need to be more understanding and compassionate as a community and try to see eachother's views rather than assume and spit fire. I commend you for that realization and ability to apologize and step back to reflect - more users should have the heart to do exactly this. We shouldn't be scared to voice our opinions and frankly while I was disgusted initially by how personal not only your respond but Omnia's as well, I'm glad this is opening up a platform for us express ourselves equally. Opinions are opinions for a reason and I can respect not all will align with my own because no two people are the same.
