I agree with your conclusion that it doesn't help the discourse to react that way, but at the same time, that reaction doesn't seem unreasonable in/from this context.
Sure, that's fair.

I will say: OP came as rather reasonable to me, and Storm always seems a bit confrontational no matter what, but given how hard it is to find good faith posts in the forum... yeah, I can't say I don't get it.
