I made a point of turning off the flags on this submission—I don't have any problem with the article and you can see from my comments in the thread what I think of these edits to Dahl. But you still can't break the site guidelines like this, no matter how provocative someone's comments are or you feel they are.
FWIW, while tptacek's comments to you were probably slightly edgier than usual and maybe a bit over the line, 'gaslighting' seems like a big exaggeration to me.
I didn't once get personal with any of these people, as they call for the devolution of cultural touchstones into Newspeak.

It wouldn't be the first time that account has jumped down my throat and twisted my words.
