You ignored the word ‘repetitive.’ As you say, you have a continuing policy of carelessness towards causing offense, i.e. rudeness. And no, I don’t think that the comment you mention was appropriate either (versus off-LW communication), but given that it was deleted I didn’t see reason to make a further post about it elsewhere.
