…I mean, I think that this post in this thread is more hostile than what D_Anconia posted.
It is certainly helpful for all to provide a link to the modnote in question. But it isn’t (as far as I’m aware, and I’ve checked the stickies) a rule. And if that tone is acceptable here in ATMB, I don’t see why that tone isn’t acceptable in IMHO.
To read D_Anconia’s tone as hostile, one needs to make assumptions about intent. But people notice these things all the time. I remember what happened to Kaitlyn, to Martin Hyde, to a number of different posters who outed themselves, not necessarily in the pit. This particular instance certainly wasn’t worth a pitting. So how best do you think discrepancies like this should be handled in the future? The situation here seemed to resolve itself before the thread got moderated. The question got asked, the question got answered. Did it need to go further?
