Just saw this, guess I should check more often.

Anyway, that's a very poorly written rule. I can only respond to the strongest interpretation I am aware of or can imagine. People read things in different ways. If I had read it the way you apparently did, I would've responded to that.

I didn't attack or demonize. I responded civilly. If he or she had clarified, I would've been happy to accept.

There's got to be room for honest misunderstanding in civil discourse.
