There was probably a way to get your point across without calling someone an idiot, and if not, you didn't have a point in the first place.

Read the context - I was merely echoing what was written there.

I wouldn't have initiated such name-calling, but I do think the OP's reaction is over the top and silly, given the context.

That doesn't excuse repeating it. You could've easily gotten the point across that you agree with their assessment without going with those words.

I don't, personally, consider those words so offensive as to unrepeatable.

You've either missed the point, or feel the need to deflect.
