I think when the phrase "some of you a-holes" was used it was meant as "if the shoe fits". If the shoe doesnt fit you then you ought to stop trying to put your foot into it.

Yes, there is a point to it all, and I am sorry that someone had to receive a pm/im, whatever it was. What I find odd is that there are a few that are experts on the original thread, yes, you may know the person that posted it and know the circumstances.
MY point of view: I don't know the person, I don't know what she implied and by "quibbling over a choice of words" can make the difference in interpeting it correctly, or taking it as harsh words. I understand the issue at hand and it is truly sad, but to be honest, there isn't a whole lot many ppl can do, i have had a few awkward events on the net, i chalk them up to the "god I hope I don't get a msg like that again" and move on.
When you think about the phrase "some of you a-holes, that is exactly what you are thinking, an opinion, you take it one way, i took it another. Again, I don't know hurlycurly, like some of you seem to, so I don't know what she was truly trying to say, I was going on mere words. Which in all honesty, coming from a business world, words, expressions and gestures can mean the difference between a savvy business relationship and an utter fiasco. No way would I want to be perceived as a "net stalker type" at the same time, I'm in a sense trying to keep the "shoe" off of some of the other guys on gc. Most of the guys on here are hilarious, and are kewl as all hell to talk to....
