In my view the comment you replied to is neither outrageous or ridiculous, and it ought to be possible to disagree with it in a civil manner even if you think it's very wrong.

Thats not true at all. Just because you don’t feel like you can follow the guidelines, doesn’t mean it’s impossible. For example, I think your comment is ridiculous coming from a grown adult I assume, but I am still able to reply in a compliant way.

No, the guidelines aren't optional, as 'dang points out relentlessly. If you can't be civil and substantive, don't comment.
