ChloeandJ: I totally see where you are coming from, but I think you have to include the rest of her phrase because she actually tones it down quite a lot with the compliment about creativity and crafting. I think you would have to try to put yourself in her shoes and imagine someone from another culture who is not as used to seeing things like this as we are here in the US. She is from a country where this is very unusual and I can see where it might look "funny". Even I would have thought it was hilarious and, yes, slightly ridiculous, several years ago.
People change and society changes and it is so much about what your frame of reference is and what you are used to.
I personally do not think she was intentionally trying to offend. I think she did not realize that some of the members on here actually owned the stores or the sites and would read her post, maybe.
