People complain to SE about moderators all the time. I'm sure they have a bin to collect all the squitter in. Comments are 'ephemeral' or 'second class' as such very little time has been wasted on them and their curation. Every single comment could be removed from the site and the site should be no worse off without them.
Moderators are people too.You are so wrapped up in your own reality that you have forgotten other people's realities. Anyway I have better things to do with my reality than to validate your's.
Your perception is not relevant here. Just like beauty is in the eye of the beholder, it is up to the individual to decide if they are being insulted or not.
Anyone is entitled to be insulted by whatever they want and they generally are. If Michael wants to be insulted by your quoting 'the rules' at him then that's up to him. he was, he acted appropriately for his perception of your insult. I mean I find it insulting that you, a user with no apparent useful contributions to SF should be calling out someone of Michael's standing in this community. There,you have insulted two people here today.
