Too bad you and your cohorts had to criticize the OP in the first place. If you have a differing opinion on what should have been done, then offer that opinion - don't criticize.
Sorry you are butt-hurt. NOT. Most everyone DID have a differing opinion and offered it. The OP took every comment as a personal affront. A little graciousness on his part would have gone a long way. In his mind he did what he thought was the right thing but in reality it might not have been the best course of action. If he was looking for "attaboys" it's not the fault of those who had a different opinion.
