I’m sorry. it sounds like you’ve taken a lot of flak for that comment, and having had that same experience I know it’s miserable. FWIW I was never responding to or criticizing your comment, only Ariel’s. Probably I saw it in the front page feed without checking the larger context. Or I only skimmed your comment and didn’t notice he was repeating a claim.
Plausibly I’m culpable for not noticing it was a repeated claim rather than original. Maybe the way comments are displayed on the front page with minimal context contributed.
