Moonlight Mystique,
Welcome back to the site! I couldn't care any less who you criticized in the past or in the future, if someone cannot take criticism without lashing out, they have some growing up to do. If everyone keeps things rational, these things work themselves out. My advice to you would be to handle these issues differently in the future. If I wanted to criticize the way the site is run on a personal level, I would take it to e-mail. If I have a problem with it on a broader scale, I may start a topic to discuss the issue.
Anyway, welcome back to the site, remain civil and people will come around. At least some of them.
