Welcome to SC and I'm glad that you're standing up for yourself! Many of the nasty posters happen to be new members from what I have noticed, and don't generally represent the great majority of the people on here. This site has always been helpful and informative, and if we collectively report those that don't know how to behave, we'll have a better site. I hate to do it, but it's become too much lately.
If I can help in any way.....just send me a note. I'd be glad to help!
