Congrats!! Don't let a few people drive you away! There is another board that I don't frequent as much because they are reallllly bad there. This board is A LOT better than that one! Come back And congrats again!
You know what's sad? It's like that movie Mean Girls! Instead of building each other up, women just beat each other down! Not all, but some of them ruin it for the rest. The sad part is that men don't do things like that. They don't have forums where they rip into each other. Men have a surprising sense of loyalty and camaraderie!
But, I digress. Congrats on your goal, keep it up! I agree with OP that you shouldn't let anyone drive you away. This website was created with the purpose of supporting women, not beating them down for having differing opinions! We're all here for the SAME reason! There's no need for all that hate!
