Not against the poster, against the poster’s tactics.
Your comment was that the action of the poster ‘would make Herr Doktor Joe proud’ that isn’t about the content of what was posted, that was about the poster posting something you didn’t agree with. I don’t blame you for trying to soft peddle it now, but wouldn’t it be more honest to just admit you went too far? Unless that kind of stuff is OK here at FR, like I said, I could use some clarification on the rules.
