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.
