"I'd love to see how you maintain your cars."
Implying I drive a pos or don't maintain my car. THIS is severe/insulting.
So this makes 3 severe/insulting comments directed towards me and this is only at comment #31 and is well before I got pissed at the dogpile/mob mentality.
I don't see any implication that you drive a POS car. I do see a concern about your attitude toward routine maintenance of technological devices. Considering your claim that you have not bothered to replace a very important functional part of your notebook computer—without a working battery, your notebook is hardly portable or usable as a notebook is intended to be used—because it cost too much, the analogy might be apt.
I'd call this a very mild form of ad hominem with a humorous intent.

Take this for what you will... but if you think THESE are "severe insults" then you have a very thin skin.
You claimed that an expensive machine with a dead battery is useless. This would certainly be an unusual attitude if applied to automotive maintenance. It was in direct response to your argument, and was not a personal insult or attack.
If this is what counts as "severe/insulting" in your book, you should consider avoiding arguments on the Internet.
