BB: Was Brooke hysterical?

Some have classified Brooke's reaction to finding Hector and Taylor in a compromising position as "hysterical". Regarding Brooke's "hysterics", remember what had just happened an hour or so before she found Taylor and Hector (it was almost a week for us but just an hour or so in 'soap time'). Brooke had just been told over-and-over by Stephanie that she wasn't good enough, that Taylor was a saint and that her "non-marriage" to Ridge would have never lasted because Taylor would never bring scandal or be tabloid fodder.
So, here you are feeling low but resolved to buck-it-up and go visit your baby's father for your son's sake. Instead you are confronted with the not-so-perfect Taylor in a oh-so-compromising position. You think "what the f...my marriage was ruined, my family split apart so Taylor could play light the match with the fireman?!!"
I completely understand Brooke's reaction then and later to Taylor. She rightly pointed out that though Taylor never claims her "perfection", Taylor also doesn't stop Stephanie and others from perpetuating the myth.
