Big egos maybe, but I don't see much "big picture" here. This is not Hitler vs. Ghandi. It's a squabble in a small law firm.

I know, stupid, but let's move on. I work in an office with 3 other ladies (1 is a female attorney) and a male attorney. I am single, fairly attractive, no kids and basically living free and easy.

It was your own admitted lapse in judgement that brought this situation about. You put the firm at risk of a harassment suit. They probably had to react to cover their own asses. Absent that, how would you be judging these people?

I am having a hard time moving past this....I want to think I'm better then they are, which would give me great satisfaction, but there is a part of me that says, no, you're not better then they are, that deep down we are all the same and that we should not compare ourselves to others. One should be humble, Blah blah blah.
Thoughts please.

If you want to move on, do so. Don't give this incident (and their reaction or overreaction to it) permanent free rent in your head. Move on, and seek your "great satisfaction" in another venue.
