I believe you're being unnecessarily hostile because you disagree with my logic. You could simply explain what it was about what I wrote that seemed to be "a dig" at you or someone else, but instead, you just insist that I am lying about my intentions, which, sadly, reads as being very insincere to me.
What I wrote was:
Seems like a poor decision
Why would I assume you, who don't appear to be a moderator, as far as I know, had anything to do with that decision? It is my opinion that the decision made was not a wise one. I then proceeded to provide an analogy as to why I felt that way:
reminds me of people who flee their oppressive countries to come to the US, to then try to turn it into the country from which they fled.
Are you an immigrant to the US who believes the US should be more like the country from which you fled? If you are, then I can see why you may believe I was attacking you, but I'm not sure how I could have possibly known that.
Then, in the interest of fairness, I admitted that the analogy wasn't perfect, but that it related a particular idea:
Hyperbolic for sure, but not without any substance.
So, perhaps you can point out where it was that I was attacking any person, rather than an idea (which is impersonal)?
