Now, of course, since all you said in your post was that this was an admonition to “Please make sure you stay on the right side of the line here,” and there does not appear to be a warning issued.

Correct, there was no warning issued.

So infer from this that while you believe I was on the right side of the line, you thought my position vis-a-vis the line was tenuously close. And that’s all. Yes?

Yes. Especially because of this post:

No, I just figured I’d drop the thread here and let the SDMB’s Left prove my point.

I don’t want to sound like a “He started it,” schoolkid, but in my view, Hamlet digs at me were sharper (and more frequent) than what I said to him, which was simply that he was taking personal swipes at me.

He made some personal comments, but that wasn’t how I saw it. The worst he said, as I saw it, was that you had chosen the wrong side in this debate and that (in his view) you knew the law did not support your opinion. I thought the ‘heroin addict’ post was going to cause things to escalate further, so I commented on that.
