I didn’t miss it. I only addressed it differently. My reference to perception was addressing it, and also my advice to apply the advice of the reference to the field guide for posing good questions , to take a step back before posting and the community rules to remind us that we’re a global community . While the advice in the reference to the field guide was mainly about argumentation logic and scope, it was also addressing perception. And I learned of the wisdom of the Bible that applying that advice goes beyond perception and helps also for emotions. I did not want to speculate about anybodys undisclosed perceptions and emotions.

As I mentioned above, I did not want to speculate about perception and emotion of other people. If this was your first feeling, this is ok and formulated appropriately. Life experience, the advice in the reference to the field guide, and the reminder in the community rules help us how to cope professionally with such situations. And as little as I understood, it is the irony in this community that the author of such advice did not always apply his advice to himself, leading to situations years later where he got sanctioned for not complying to community rules. Your approach and reaction to clarify is appropriate.

As far as I could read, no one claimed so. Your preceding assessment to be your (first) feeling (and seemingly also your perception) is better. And it seems to me that Bigfords problematic part is similarly based probably on perception and cultural bias. And the community rules and the advice in the references of the field guide remind us how to cope with such feelings and perceptions.

Nobody contested if your reaction was justified. In contrary, I confirmed that your note of clarification was appropriate. I only considered a single word as problematic and the referenced advice may help for better handling such situations, for those posing questions as well as for those replying.

Often, assessments as good or bad integrate cultural bias. That’s why the community rules don’t use such inappropriate words. They refer to respectful and helpful instead. They don’t try to assess what is helpful and keep such judgement up to moderators. It may be questioned if the process of such judgement is appropriate, knowing that each moderator has its own cultural bias in a global community. I can say that different moderators use different processes for such judgement. So far, I feel this process of a single moderator not sufficiently compliant with community rules while the process of the other moderators are compliant. But this moderator with problematic process and me are sufficiently professional to handling our different opinions and assessments.

No one asked for apologize. I don’t know to which education level you refer. I was even not allowed to take lessons of English during my final year of final secondary school examinations (Abitur resp. Matura) because I had already too many hours of lessons. And the last year I had still English lessons before, I was less than average. But when working in teams with English as company a team language, I assessed the practice of English of a core team member as inappropriate use of terms and idioms (20 years after leaving secondary school, 22 years after last English lessons at school, a few months after giving academic lessons on Linux and DB in English in Central Asia) while being a contractor and the project leader being an English native speaker. When the core team member did not believe me, I asked him to seek feedback of the project leader as native speaker. So he did and confirmed my assessment. And when writing of grades, I prefer the French notation as beneficial which give grade out of achievable grades. That’s less ambiguous as providing sufficient context. I don’t know if the European framework for languages is global enough. But there, A would be a basic level, insufficient to qualify access to vocational nor academic education before reaching a minimum specified language level. And there is still the difference between minimum required and recommended level.
And I’m still awaiting feedback of the OP on context of his question. I need such clarification as I don’t want to speculate what he might have meant.
