Some comments are just… beyond comment

In another part of this thread I defended parts the backlash, and explicitly wrote about how I didn't believe a specific quoted message was problematic. But I can't in good conscience let that be the only message of mine in this thread, when I see something like your reply.

You are using humor to do nothing else than insult someone. That's not a strongly worded disagreement, that's a personal attack, and in my opinion that IS crossing a line.

The other message criticized a specific action (or set of actions), here you are disparaging the totality of all contributions someone ever made. Messages such as this make the life of those who want to express their disagreement without personal attacks so much harder. In my opinion your statement here is much, much worse than the dismissiveness to the impact and severity of the bug shown from the other side.
