So. You are, by your own admission relatively ignorant of what occurs in the politics forum and therefore much of the context of the problem we're discussing. Yet, you feel perfectly well-qualified to tell those of us who are familiar with that context and have concerns, that said concerns are petty and groundless.
You are upset/annoyed by my 'attack' on you, which is primarily about your post and not you as a person, yet you think people who've been subjected to highly personal attacks in the politics forum should just grow up and be less sensitive.
If those two quotes above are enough to upset you, then it is probably a very good thing that you don't follow the politics forum more closely.
[eta] For the record, as soon as you said you'd unwittingly wandered into that discussion and made a random comment to a random poster, I accepted that. And throughout I have been clear that yours was not the post that caused the problems but rather the 'straw that broke the camel's back'. In other words a relatively innocuous and light example of something bigger that came just after the real problem.
