I know you said you "never ever" write a response like that one, but
man....back off!  What on earth did you think you would accomplish by
writing that?  You have no idea what this woman in Oregon is going
through.  You have no idea about her finances, suggesting she is
irresonsible to not consider a payment plan with her vet...for all you
(and us) know, she already has such payments plans in place for several
other things...
 
I could go on and on, but that also would serve no purpose.  In short,
when I read that note, all I thought was, should I be in such a
situation, I will not go and ask for help from a list of people who
might know such resources that could help me.  They'll just ream me for
being irresponsible.
 
The FML is here to help, is it not?  That response was nothing but cruel
judging.  That does not help anyone.
