Hi Fuzzy. Maybe they misunderstood/misinterpreted what you meant? I don't visit that forum, so maybe they realized you don't usually, either. What do you mean by "posting a bear"?

Please don't let any negative reactions eat at you long. If you meant no harm, you have nothing to feel bad about. If they expressed anger, that's their issue to work through. Sometimes we have to stay in our own lanes. And as adorable as Teddy Bears and real bears are, even real bears don't always like anybody in their territory. I'm a little afraid of real bears, but I still think they're cute, but keep my distance. I write this because maybe it was indeed a misunderstanding on their part about your intentions.
