And the fact that **Marley** came in and mishandled things (IMO) didn’t help. Inadvertently, his moderating inflamed the situation instead of calming it.

This? I don’t see how it was rude. She did use the word “fuck,” yes, but she was quoting back your own words at you. Other than that, she expressed herself more or less politely. I’m really not seeing why this is anything to get upset about.
