Where does this post fit into your ideas about community norms and indignation?

The post I replied to was so ridiculous that I was forced to be the unreasonable one in order to fully communicate my distaste to JGWeissman.

As it turned out, it appears I misjudged - my comment was not as far out of line as I had thought it would be. If I could do this again, I would not have put the parenthetical disclaimer in.

It would not surprise me if, had you posted it without the disclaimer, it would have been downvoted. Of course, I have no data to back that up.

I expect so too, but I would have gladly taken the downvotes for it, disclaimer or no.
