As a Christain I find your comment extremely offensive and intolerable. You should have respect for Christians and any other religion in the wrestling industry. I expect you to apologize in the same forum that you used to show your ignorance.
Happy Easter

Thank you for sending that out, it is really a sensitive subject and as I am sure you did not mean to offend anyone it is still something that you want to be careful addressing espcially with so many cultures and religions in your fanbase of this great sport.

If you're going to be respectful of every other religion in this business (and in professional athletics as a whole), probably best not to say "Happy Easter" at all since Jehovah's Witnesses, Atheists and Muslims do not celebrate this holiday (for example). Have a wonderful Sunday.

Perhaps you didnt get my reply to your apology, please see below ....
"Thank you for sending that out, it is really a sensitive subject and as I am sure you did not mean to offend anyone it is still something that you want to be careful addressing espcially with so many cultures and religions in your fanbase of this great sport."
I think that this is something that we need to address with the talent relations office of the company you work for. Please be advised that I am currenntly looking up their number so that I can file a grievance against you for religious insensitivity. I will also be reporting this blog to wordpress in the hopes that they will shut you down. I replied as a courtesy and to be respectful to YOU , I didnt put this out to everyone publicly to start a flamewar on your site. I know these are private messages and I will not continue to email back and forth regarding this issue any further we will have it dealt with in a documented manner. I came to you directly as I was offended by your comment , i didnt put it out there for everyone to read and I did not wish everyone a Happy Easter. I will leave it to your superiors to address further. You clearly have no respect in regards to my Christian beliefs and I said Happy Easter to you , bc you sent a greeting to everyone in reference to the hoiliday . I was being respectful , not insulting your religious beliefs . Yet you continue to address it. And furthermore , I was married to a Muslim and I respect all religions.

None of my replies to you were sent anywhere outside of your email inbox and I would hardly call accusing me of "ignorance" to be respectful or courteous. I had already apologized publicly as is common courtesy of someone in my vaunted position, yet you felt the need to reply to me again after that was sent to further berate and belittle me over this perceived lapse in courtesy towards others (as a backhanded compliment sent in a passive aggressive manner is meant to do). Are you serious right now? If you truly feel like you need to take this to Kyle Kilmeade, the interim CEO of Sex & Violence Wrestling, feel free to do so, but please be aware that saying "Happy Easter" to me without knowing MY religious affiliation can also be perceived as offensive and intolerant. Religion and politics are taboo when one exists in the public eye, sweetie.
You stated in your original reply that "I expect you to apologize in the same forum that you used to show your ignorance " which I did... PUBLICLY. Taking it upon yourself to reply to me and demand an apology was both rude and unwarranted.
Your religious beliefs (nor mine) have no bearing on the situation. The way you carry yourself in text and the way you have worded your replies does, however. I was being respectful of you both times I replied. Please be mindful of that in the future. Thank you.

First of all I am going to apologise if I in any way offended you. It was a gut reaction to feel like I had to react to your title. I dont know what your religious beliefs are but I assumed that you are not a believer bc you put that out there. If you are, again I apolgise and you will understand that my apology is heartfelt. I am asking you to forgive me if I caused any hard feelings. It was not my intention to be offensive. I do not know you and I did not react to you personally. I reacted to the reference that was made toward Jesus on a holiday that is very special to me . I hope that you can understand and forgive me for being trying to protect something very close to my heart.
Regards, Kellie.

I was offended, yes. Kinda felt like you were ripping me a new one... text is tricky like that and you weren't the only one to freak out on me. Yours was just the most strongly worded so I chose you to reply to— aren't you lucky?
No offence was ever meant on my end... believe me. I tried my best to word what I said back to you in a way that wouldn't come off hostile or snarky because the last thing I would ever want to do is be awful to someone on such an important holiday. I hope that we can put this aside and move on like adults. I wasn't trying to provoke you in any way and I truly did not mean for this to escalate the way it did on either side. I realize I'm just as much to blame there for continuing to reply which made you feel like you were backed against the wall and I'm so disappointed in myself for not seeing that sooner. It's been a rough day and I clearly need to stay off the Internet so I don't upset anyone else.
Sincerely apologize for any harm done and I hope it didn't ruin your day... heaven forbid! Let me know if there's anything I can do to make it up to you. If you're in the Lexington, Kentucky area, I'll be sure to leave a pair of tickets for you and a guest at the will call desk.
I want nothing more than to put this to bed and I'm so sorry you felt like I was attacking your beliefs. I was raised a Christian, so I actually DO know where you're coming from.
Apology accepted, Kellie. I'm truly sorry to have upset you. Please accept my sincerest apologies for any upset or spike in blood pressure or anything else my replies caused. I know it's hard being alone or (God forbid) working on a holiday that's special to you. I have a very unfortunate match against someone with very little talent waiting for me this evening so I empathise with your pain.
I completely understand and I realized my error in judgement the moment it went out. That's why I posted the apology. Live and learn and at least I know that you're passionate about something. Nothing wrong with passion or conviction.
*super huge hugs from the Interwebs*
Enjoy the rest of your evening. Hopefully it goes well for you and thank you for this reply. You have no idea how upset I was over this whole thing...
Cheers.

Thanks Nessa, I am glad that you took the time to respond and as far as I am concerned it is water under the bridge. I know that it was not your intention to be offensive because yo uare generally such a nice person . We are all stuck doing things we would rather not be doing this evening and it allows us to react off of our emotions. Try to get some rest and I hope that you have a better day tomorrow.
Warmest Regards. Kellie.
