Yes, attacked. Granted it wasn't a personal attack or name calling or anything like that. It was passive/aggressive. Look it up. It's a phrase in common use by average people.
Oh. So then this post by you:
...actually means your original post, at which I took some offense and responded to, was actually directed at me as a forum participant. So there really wasn't a problem with me responding, was there? And I didn't really attack you any more than you attacked SamuraiCO. I was just more direct rather than passive/aggressive (there's that psychobabble again) like you were.
See above...and a dictionary.
Well good for you. You're welcome. I will/am.
