I didn’t even think it was that rude if it was a dig. It’s certainly not over the line as far as Off Topic goes IMO.
Jason, I think you’re trying too hard to over-police Off Topic without entirely understanding the culture of this corner of the forum. This isn’t the first mod action you’ve taken here that indicates this to me, but it’s IMO the least defendable one so far.
Can’t say I disagree. OT is scary these days.
