If you object to the grandparent comment, then object to it civilly. He criticized (his comment is too weak for "slander") the community you are a part of, and you criticized him. You didn't "take him to task." You insulted him.

Yes, I did. Else how do you interpret my asking him how he thinks musicians should be remunerated? And my response to his suggestion that musicians are just in it for the money?

I explicitly said I was referring to the end of your comment ("fuck you, you pompous twit."). That is not taking him to task, and that's what I objected to.
