These are not attacks on your person. This was a **moderator** attempting to remind you to be less combative in the way you communicate here.

Nobody owes you a response, nor do we tolerate such combative behaviors. There are plenty of places to flamewar elsewhere. We don’t do that here. This topic has now well and fully derailed into arguments with moderators and no longer serves a purpose.
