Implying I drive a pos or don't maintain my car. THIS is severe/insulting.

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.

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.

Take this for what you will... but if you think THESE are "severe insults" then you have a very thin skin.

When I use the word severe/insult I am using that to clarify how I would classify the remarks according to your own classification. Personally, I wouldn't consider them severe to the point I was offended. Sure when I am accused of lying then it ticks me off a bit.

In any event I didn't want to go line by line through that thread to state my case, as I have more important things to do with my time, like sleep.

I did prove my point though that there were several severe/insulting comments (according to your classsification) direcdted towards me in the battery thread, in which you said there were none that were unjustified.
