Filli Vannilli: Yes Pinkie was over the top & annoying but she was being the vocal representation of Fluttershy's fears.
MMMOTFE: OK yeah that one was just silly, but it's talking ponies on a train with a giant cake in a cartoon... What do you expect to happen!?
Edit: yes everyone is aweful in Mare Do Well.
Just because she was a representation in a way of her fears, doesn't excuse the fact that Pinkie was written to be really hurtful, that easily could have been toned down.
And honestly, I think the "talking ponies cartoon" doesn't excuse anything. Just because it's a cartoon, doesn't mean it should just have out of character moments like that, this isn't a random show. I'd hold up a cartoon to the same standards I'd have for other shows, with some exceptions. That's why I feel "just a cartoon" is never a valid reason to explain something.
