In PlutoniumPage's defense, and echoing AgnesaParis's good point, if there have been prior run-ins with someone, one may feel twitchier - and the other person is better advised to be more circumspect or awoid replying.

I hate to cross over from private e-mails but I had received assurances from Jerome that the damage from the previous spat had been mended. Or at least that's how I understood it.

If I remember correctly, I troll-rated myself out of embarrassment last time. DoDo put it very politely when he said "a subthread has been hidded by agreement from both sides" even though there had been no attempt by the radioactive transuranid lady to bridge the gap or reduce tension or even try to understand whether there was any substance to what I said.

It is possible that she has not even visited that thread (the Godwyn's Law issue) after leaving hurt, and hasn't seen what happened - thus the misunderstandings built up. (I have seen parts of that discussion which you haven't, and they reinforce this view.) As for spat having been mended - whatever his protests, Jérôme is a good diplomat, but I think a spat is truly mended if there was direct communication between the parties.

a spat is fully mended only if both parties communicate directly ; that's what I tried to do every time I had a spat with s.one on ET. Yet it is also good to be able to rely on a mediator at some points.

And you're right of course. So in this case, PP was more sensitive and Migeru should be more sensitive to PP being more sensitive... But that's not enough to excuse the post.

Anyway. Can't we all just get along?

Twitchy is one thing. Full on personal attacks and ranting is another.
