Neither of you have anything to apologize for. I think that it was established that the offending individual was way, way out of line. Please don't take anything that was said personally and don't think twice about it. There is a HUGE difference between speaking out, reaching out and Lashing out. Unfortunately, you were a victim of the later. Aimee, just so you know, I think that was a low blow for her to post your personal email to her on this board. That just shows more about the individual's character and NOT that you did something you need to apologize for. The plus side to all this is that most of the bazare behavior took place in the wee hours of the morning when most people (unless you're an insomniac like me) were asleep. Another good thing is that Danny has removed the offensive material and established some well needed ground rules - although it should have gone without saying as it is simple common curteousy. Hopefully this will prevent further conversations from sinking to the depths of last evenings fanfare. I can only hope that allowing this behavior to degrade to such a low level didn't push anyone away permenantly. In my opinion, just as bad as saying the insulting comments would be to encourage and congratulate such behavior regarding it as bold or healthy. It's just down right rude! I will email all of you who emailed me or called me last night with concerns as soon as I can. Be patient with me though as I didn't sleep well last night and my mind is a bit foggy. I received an offensive email from the individual in question and it kept me up with worry. Peace an happiness.
