There's nothing wrong with having disagreements with an author over their work. Criticism, etc.
But I hope next time people will at LEAST wait until he's done writing the thing before acting like they've been struck a mortal blow and are eternally wronged.
Edit: This also likely isn't the end of this arc. We don't know how May's going to follow up with Winslow yet, or what kind of work he'll be doing. It's ongoing.

She calls people out but she also apologizes herself and she really does forgive other people (I'm looking at crazy Clinton). Not to mention, that you can tell this was scary for her to do.
Also, the cookies was a great humor at the end.

She's come a long way from threatening to ruin someone that hurt her friends and this likely made an impression on May.

Of course, disagreements with an author are perfectly fine! Like you say, the problem was that we were too quick to criticise; a pitfall of the medium, I imagine - getting the story one piece a day leaves us time to form opinions at every step which evidently can turn out to be very premature.
As for my joking comment about doubting, my point was that since Jeph is known to handle such topics with great care and nuance, we should have been even more wary of so quickly jumping to the conclusion that such was not the case here. :)
Heck, the only thing in the whole comic I remember truly bothering me was Veronica's humiliation conga through her son's life after his break-up, something which she was never called out on except by Marten himself, upon which she scolded him for it ... and he not only accepted it, but actually felt better afterwards. But I'm getting off topic now.

Aaw, Hanners is the best.
I don't think May was at fault for checking Winslow's privilege but Hanner's interaction with May definitely points out the flaw in how May behaves when she's offended - i.e. if she wants to actually have friends, she needs to put the effort into maintaining friendships. Being rude is one thing when you have no intention of being friends with the person whose privilege you've just checked but May is a part of the social circle now so she can't just trample on people's feelings without reciprocating an apology.
