OK, fair enough. Re-reading your initial comment in isolation, without the rest of the subthread to influence the perception of it, I can see how it was more neutral and benign than others perceive it to be.

You were still a player in the flamewar and you could have done more to defuse the situation rather than inflame it, but I can see that it was the others who escalated first.

I've re-attached your comment and the healthy part of the subthread and detached it where it became a flamewar.
