'd suggest not getting too hot about this. Although what has been said is
very inflammatory (and even unprofessional), you must take two things into
account:
- Professionalism is not the norm here, so people who are otherwise
professional adults in real life, behave differently here. I guess it's
like a defense mechanism, specially lately, Oracle newsgroups have been a
hellhole of flames, and the noise to signal ratio is very high.
- You just took a long time to respond. A couple days went by ans there
was no word from you. People jumped to conclusions about your motives and
forgot it could have been an honest mistake.
So don't take it so seriously. You did the right thing.
