"No, there's "just trying to be nice and not realizing what you're saying is hurtful", and then there's just being completely evil and out-of-character. Pinkie Pie was the latter in that episode. Once or twice is fine...I guess...but she just kept ACTING evil and heartless! She was even completely rude towards Big Mac losing his voice and caring more about a stupid prize then his wellbeing! So, sorry, but Pinkie was BADLY butchered in that episode."

But here's the thing, though. While it is still bad that she hurt Fluttershy's feelings, what excused her behavior in that episode for me was that she had no malicious intent. She wasn't trying to hurt Fluttershy's feelings and was just trying to give her the words of "encouragement". Besides, she has been shown before as being rather oblivious to how others feel sometimes, as is the case with Luna Eclipsed, The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000 and A Friend in Deed (well, mostly).
