Question about 'attacking the poster' moderation

Disagree, that is much more subjective. For instance, I don’t think Stranger needs to learn brevity. IMHO, his posts are factual, informative and are not wanting for brevity. This post, however:

Is clearly taking a swipe and attacking the poster. Maybe Stranger was deciding what to post, maybe he was in the middle of something else or maybe he stepped away from the computer for a sec. Monitoring someone’s posting time and using it as an attack could be considered jerkish and that post, alone, could merit modding - in my opinion.
