I’m not sure of the best words for it, but I’m pretty sure she is at least somewhat in the wrong.

Mostly as you all say, each group chooses to focus their work on the issues they choose to, and feel are more relevant to their tenets.

Her hostility seems uncalled for, and her second response sounds like she is only thinking argumentatively and purposefully being hurtful. Like people on the internet who keep attacking until they get the last word. Unconscionable and unprofessional.
