You protest a bit too much at this point, methinks.

I am commenting that the scale of the disruption resulting from (only) a 5% drop does not seem reasonable and that some of the issues should have been better handled or avoided altogether.

That's a personal attack quite out of order.

Not really. It's just a societal commentary on how we've conditioned ourselves by the media we consume into passing quick blame instead of taking a slow, reasoned approach to analyzing the event, seeing the compounding factors at stake and only in the face of gross negligence assigning blame.

It is a personal attack and it is not what I have written so also misrepresent my comments.

Neither of which are acceptable.

You are entitled to have your views. Claiming that there is no blame to assign until it reaches criminal liability is rather odd, though.
