Sorry, you're right. I'm guessing you're talking about my other comment then? I agree it was too strong, but by the time I wanted to edit it it wasn't editable anymore.

This one OTOH I'm not sure what's wrong with it.

I just picked one comment to reply to, but the problem was across all of them. The above one is also too 'strong', to use your word, in a personal way.

I sympathize with the emotion behind it, but when you weaponize it like that and direct it at somebody, you break the bonds of community here—which are so weak to begin with, that protecting them has to be everyone's priority.

Thanks for responding so nicely.
