There's no defamation of character, personal attacks, or anything of the sort. Anyone claiming that is just being silly, they probably got emotional/defensive, projects are people's "babies," so to speak. I don't hold anything against these dudes for getting mad at me for pressing them. They've most likely cooled off by now and are like "Ok, this isn't such a big deal." Stress is a bitch!

I think that the reason that, that is being perceived is due to the defensive nature of the replies. I'm not attacking. I'm inquiring. Nothing more, nothing less. All's good!
