Is it an insult to be called a "ham"?

Yes, I have removed the original review I posted. Yes, it was a personal decision based partly on the general feedback I have had regarding it. Its removal however was more driven by the fact that I have inadvertently highlighted aspects of an individual without being fully aware of certain details about said individual. As such, I drew attention to something that if I had known better I would have not raised comment on at all.

The knowledge of this has left me feeling a little ashamed of what I have written. I have already apologised for causing distress and extend this to incorporate that unfortunate aspect. For what it is worth, I plead ignorance.

I thank Pfft for their understanding and for giving me the chance to explain myself, and I thank everyone else for their support, saying but this - everyone is entitled to express their legitimate displeasure to another's commentary and should not automatically entitle them to a title of "Thin Skinned". Equally, complaints such as this are better expressed in such a way as to allow a dialogue to open, as this issue was ultimately raised.

I am trying to encourage my 7 year old daughter to express herself and not to bottle things up. I would be a hypocrypt in the extreme if I did not aknowledge this outside the family circle.

We are all capable of mistakes and I believe I have made one with this review. Equally, a mistake was made in the interpretation of my review as is all to easy to do. What makes the difference is the freedom to resolve those mistakes or to establish clarity.
