I think the OP has learned from the responses that a definitive statement about a subjective topic has to be addressed more gently. Perhaps she was feeling frustrated over the lack of housing with flooring she prefers and came on a little more strongly than she normally would have.

I happen to love our tile floors and ripped out the carpet to put them in. We also had them up north at our MI location, which was in sand dunes. I don't find them cold; I find them "beachy'!!
