Kind of late, but you know what they say
Bowser - it appears that there was something ongoing between you and the other person, which justified (to you at least) your harsh response. I was unaware of the other goings-on and just saw a very harsh reaction on your part to what looked like a benign, sincere post. Maybe you could have indicated something about what led up to that point so it didn't seem as if it came out of nowhere.
But. As you said, this is the flame board.
Hope all is well with you and that you have't disappeared. You are missed.
