"Go back and look at the posts that started it. I guess a few here can't differentiate between attacking the discussion and attacking the poster."

I agree you started out attacking the discussion, but once you felt as though you were being attacked personally, you retaliated. That's the part that I was hoping would not be part of this board. Take the high road. The folks hear that "get it" will still read and appreciate well constructed expressions of opinion without the personal attacks.
