Thanks for putting your perspective across - horrid to have such a public showdown, but very honest to state what you have learned from it. There's not point being the subject of a "what not to do online" story otherwise.

All of us in the journalism field have wanted to say what you said to some dumb PR person. The difference between an adult and a child is the ability to smile, say "go eff yourself" internally and move on with life.
What you did lets the PR get away with looking like the bigger person. You should never let her get away with that.
Don't bring it up ever again. If somebody asks, say "I am sorry. I've apologized and now I'm moving on." Bury the event deep inside of yourself and try not to ever think about it again. Repress it.

Props to you, sir.
Everybody fucks up. It's just part of growing up. If many current critics had come of age ten years earlier, far messier incidents would have made far pettier headlines in far wider places.
MB is right. Repress. Move on. It's already yesterday's gossip fodder. :)
