Darkheart, you cannot use a pronoun without an antecedent, that's what she was saying. If your post was like this:

You're an idiot.

That is wrong, but if you said: Omega, you're an idiot.

That is right, you need an antecedent otherwise it's grammatically incorrect.

I try not to jump down people's throats for this, because these are fora, not an English essay, but it's a rule.
