My comment was a statement about content.  If I had said
"David Brown is an addle-brained fool" that would be a
statement about a person.  What I did say was not.  If you
want to disagree with my statements about content, you
are welcome to express an opposing view.  As long as a
statement is about content, rather than about a person,
there is nothing wrong with expressing it in any degree
of strong language.

For the record, there are plenty of behaviors that you
engage in that I find offensive, insulting, or rude,
including statements made about people.  People who
live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

I note with amusement that you over-snipped the context
to which I was replying.
