Walter Bright's response is the parent of the comment in question. This one seems aimed towards the top level commentor's response, which advanced from the pained venting in the first comment (which I understand and can sympathize with) to a much more assertive tone.

From context, the comment I was responding to seemed attached to the wrong parent and seemed aimed at Walter's comment instead.

Yes, sorry for the confusion. On mobile the final sentence in the quote looked like it actually belonged to notacoward.

My comment was aimed at notacoward.
