OP seemed quite open that he sees his right to repair work as important and is simply commenting on the direction his YouTube channel is taking. Not sure what goal posts are being shifted exactly and I can't see what "personal characteristics" are being attacked in any way in what reads as a simple personal opinion.

The line "it has undermined his credibility" changes it from just a comment on personal opinion to an attack.

That's a pretty low bar.

"I didn't say you are in fact an asshole. I said--in my opinion--you act like an asshole. So you can't call that an attack."

I grew up seeing plenty of this kind of passive-aggressive language lawyering. It doesn't change anything.
