No, you weren't wrong. However, this inquiry into where the lines are drawn and rules lawyering is the kind of thing that we've come to expect from trolls (no, I don't think you're a troll).
The lines are subjective, and depend the totality of circumstances as well as the participants' history.
Generally speaking though, we step in when things become toxic. That generally means a speedbump (i.e. a general in-thread warning to all participants) asking everyone to tone it down a notch, with potential escalation if that speedbump isn't heeded.
My personal view is that participants in threads in R'lyeh are voluntary combatants and I'm reluctant to step in unless it becomes overly toxic. I realize that is subjective, but it's necessarily so.
Got it. Thanks a lot for your answer, it's exactly what I was looking for.
