But I've already given my reaction to that thread. I see that my take on who was or was not aggressive is slightly different from yours. But as it was my take after reading the whole thing at the time, I don't see it as particularly invalid. I thought it was a perfect example of what I had mentioned some time ago in this thread about both sides of the equation being equally ridiculous.

This screenshot wasn't to show the author being aggressive, that happened later and I previously showed the way the author responded. But your take on the story was that the author tried to back down before the "speshul snowflake" comment, which the screenshot shows it simply isn't true.
This is the way the story got distorted. Questioning received rating -> retaliation -> author backing down -> "speshul snowflake" comment is not the same as questioning received rating -> "speshul snowflake" comment.
You remember Victoria's comments and you are probably not the only one, but at least this first one got deleted because it was threatening, and people remembered the situation as vicious threats against the author being deleted instead of vicious threats against the reviewer being deleted.
