Lady EquineAnn,
I am sorry you had to deal with someone who, obviously, wasn't mature enough to see the positivitey in your response/idea. I happen to agree with you. It's great that you were the bigger person in the end.
Don't ever apologize for being yourself with us. We all have pasts that we deal with, and they aren't always good. We are bound to have periods where we are down on ourselves, that's the great thing about friends - we still appreciate and accept you regardless 😊
So don't ever feel like you need to apologize...just be yourself, we accept you for that (even though I wish I could say something to help make you feel better).
