The reason I publicly posted this is because it is an issue about community standards, not just a personal issue between me and the company.

It's interesting to think about my own motivations -- I wonder if I would have been gentler if their post hadn't been anonymous. If so, should I have been gentler even though their post was anonymous? Anyway, I apologize if this caused unnecessary hurt, I didn't mean to.

I didn't mean to imply that you were piling on, and I don't doubt your intentions one bit. . The problem is that once this is posted, you have little control over the outcome in the comment threads and piling on is inevitable. Again, not a criticism of you at all, my reply was aimed at the comments in the thread.
