Hello Momski,
I'm so sorry you had that experience. I love the sewing machine comment. All the comments here on your experience Momski are really great. It's so wonderful that you all are so supportive of one another. You are all a beautiful and loving bunch of people. I'm proud to be part of this group.
Something that has worked for me in the past: pray for the person for a week. Your bad and hurt feelings will be gone, plus you will have done a very good thing, even if you have to prayer for the person through clenched teeth.
I also had a bad experience this weekend with a very rude quilter right here in chat. I was talking about using scraps from the garbage can to make quilts and they came back at me with something very nasty. It hurt and made me feel very sad that someone would do such a thing and I just joined. That experience could have caused someone else to leave the group.
Big Hugs
Marie
