I hope that the quoted section of your post made you feel better. In this instance, specifically, he was right and you were wrong. A simple acknowledgement in that thread that you had grabbed the wrong word, (it happens), would have been sufficient. (For that matter, Bricker was not even responding to you, but to an intervention by running coach, during which he made no attack on your post or your person.)
You might want to re-calibrate your outrage meter.
