The same thing you're complaining about here equally applies to my casual statment about iron oxide being harmless that you took issue with. This isn't a court

  It also applies equally to my observation that he didn't specify what metal it was and that even iron can be harmful when consumed excessively. That's not a personal attack. It's just factual. Just like your observation that rust, per se, isn't necessarily a reason for concern.

    You responded to newnewpdro by telling them you saw no reason for them to make such a comment, and that comments like that are a pet peeve of yours. The word "attack" might be a bit strong, but your stance is plainly adversarial. You essentially just told newnewpdro to keep their thoughts to themself. FWIW, I didn't read the OP as rebutting anything. I read it as merely an addition -- a BTW if you will -- and an accurate one that is, IMO, a useful little reminder in conversations about metals in drinking water. I found Mc_Big_G's original comment interesting too.

      I said that after they got all dismissive in a follow up comment and doubled down with saying there was no smoking gun. This reads to me like someone asserting their right to post random facts and getting pissed and dismissive when someone else does the same. Before that it was one person listing a general fact followed by another person listing other general facts and somehow that turned into me being told to "lay off". I don't see where it's reasonable to make me out to be the bad guy here.
