Calling something bullshit, regardless of a definition is most certainly saying you dislike that "kind of thing".

Yes, I most certainly do dislike the form of interaction you were using against multi and to a lesser extent have used in your other replies within this thread. That doesn't make the "If you don't like you don't belong in the thread" message appropriate. It means that, to the extent that I happen to consider it worth my time, I may choose to oppose it. This retort is non-sequitur.

You said you expect "this kind of thing" from certain kinds of threads, then are upset when you find it in such threads. I hardly think it is a non-sequitur to point this out.

Edit: I'm not sure it is a non-sequitur but I did just realize feelings are probably running high, so I do now think it was inappropriate. Retracted.
