I'm thinking a couple of things here.
That there was more than one person who was hurt in all the posting going on. Hence the hug.
That there should be some recognition of that hurt that doesn't need to include an expression of incivility. It's not easy, but it's doable.
I think that by stuffing this particular hurt under and away - because at this moment we can't think of a civil way of expressing how we feel about it - ultimately does some disrespect to ourselves. We (that would be YOU, Llurpsie) are valid members of the Babble community, and our feelings are no less honorable than any one other's.
I say that it's too bad that you were hurt in this war of words, and it's too bad that we get to look at the reminder of those words until the board archives. At least, delete your email of the message.
caringly,
