Your original post read *precisely* like you had excluded this person from your study for calling you baby.
FWIW i read it exactly as you did, but i figured rivka didn't actually mean it like that, being as she strikes me from years of reading her articles as scrupulously professional.
lecturing people as an anonymous commenter rarely goes over well. i recommend asking for clarification before going into lecture mode. also, if you don't want to go to the trouble of creating an LJ account, signing your name/handle and linking to some verifiable online presence is a good idea, in order to distinguish yourself from an average anon troll.
