Just to clarify for
@hawg1 and others, I was the one with the offending post. I was going to let it go and move on, but since it is grist for the mill, and Berger seems comfortable telling his side of the exchange in public, I no longer feel constrained to keep quiet, as I was out of deference to Berger. There was no mod intervention, Berger expressed his/her displeasure in response to my post, I saw it and DM'ed Berger. I said I agreed it was thoughtless to say what I said, I removed it and requested the quote of my post be deleted if Berger were so inclined. Berger graciously did so. I resolved to try and be more considerate of the circumstances and leave personal comment out of it. I had hoped that would be the end of it. Apparently not.
I now return you to your regularly scheduled **** show.
