if you aren't thick skinned, then you should probably stick to "read-only" mode , it's funny that you had to start a whole topic just because 2 random guys on the internet told you whatever you did was WRONG!.
OP, take heed of this above. This is what it all comes down to, basically. I don't think there was anything inappropriate with what you wrote in that thread, and when you get criticism of that sort you just have to roll with it. If that were me, I probably wouldn't even have gone back to that thread after saying my piece.
It's a cantankerous forum, full of vitriolic zings and if your hide isn't thick enough to withstand those things, just don't get involved with people who got scammed and don't write anything even remotely controversial. However, I suspect that if you go hide in a corner you won't have such an enjoyable time here. Therefore, buck up. Dust off your sleeves and don't let it get to you next time.
