This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Did I attack?

Did I attack your motives for writing?

I tried to make it clear that I wouldn't touch your opinion, but I took
umbrage at your hurtful words that, imho, verge on flaming. The bile that
leaks out and spoils the diplomacy of discourse: not the content of what
you said, but the aggressive and antagonistic way in which you said it.  I
thought I said as much before, and you have yet to retract or apologize, or
even acknowledge the offense.

Did I attack your semi-flaming?  Perhaps I did.
