Bolding mine. > [@Okrahoma](#): > > I was not responding to other posters. This was a conversation with **Skywatcher**. Now, if I responded to any of the posters that called it a “secret meeting” (after having it explained to them that it was in a public setting), then it would be a “personal insult”. You characterized anyone who called it a secret meeting a sufferer from Trump Derangement Syndrome. That obviously includes other posters in the thread, not just **Skywatcher**. You can’t say you were in a “conversation” with just one poster and ignore all other posts in the thread. If you want to hurl insults around, as **Bone** says you need to be clear whom you are insulting. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/disputing-the-warning/791661)._
