Stephanie,
I don't know you other than glancing at a couple of posts, this is not my home forum.
But there's a saying around here....that what other people think of me is none of my business.
I don't waste time or dignify things I find insulting with a response, explanation or defense.
Actually I have learned that giving advise when not asked for is a boundary violation. I have been guilty but trying to learn that this is a sort of abuse.
Also, if there are any particularly annoying members there is an ignore button, so that their responses will not appear on your thread.
I am sure you will get a GREAT job, so Congratulations in advance!
