It is always best to bring this type of concern to admin or mods attention rather than on the boards. Also please remember you can always report any suspect post to admin/ mods and they will remove the offending post and have a quiet word with said member on how to be supportive.

I do apology if I made anyone feel bad. Now I am embarrassed about saying anything on the forum.

I do think the reminder was a good one and I can see your intention was good yes.
But these things really are best being dealt with behind the scenes. You see, someone new might read this and decide that they are now too frightened to post for fear of getting it wrong, sitting there worrying whether they worded something correctly. We certainly don't want to put new members off.
Also your post may be talking about someone specific, they'll know who they are and to be publicly humiliated isn't they way to go about it. A gentle word behind the scenes will encourage good posting.
Don't forget you can also use the ignore tool here which is useful when we are triggered by thoughtless posts, using the ignore tool means you will not see the body of offending posts.
My best to you.
