That's interesting feedback, thank you! I am appreciative of your input and thoughts. I am of the mindset that if I am upset, and if I feel insulted by someone's comment, that it's better to state that and be upfront.

I think with this particular woman that I spoke of who insulted my work, I felt like it needed to be confronted - her hot and cold behavior, her sharp tongue at times and her harshness. I was sick of it... her insult kind of unleashed all these pent up feelings I had towards her. Perhaps I was out of line, perhaps not... I don't know. But it felt good to get it off my chest, and she did tell me it's not the first time she's heard this from other people.
