I hope my post [...] did not come across as a criticism or insult directed at anyone in particular - it was definitely not meant as such.
Lyelle, I think you may have been caught a bit in the crossfire between two throw-away cracks from others, one (in my opinion) an unhelpful complaint about the conversation without adding anything to it, and the other a very funny response to that. I guarantee that 0% of any perceived drama had to do with anything you wrote.
