This whole thing nearly made me cry of sadness... This one comment nearly made me cry of happiness. It's better than any thing I could say:
we do agree that there are many users who are abusing the bots. This is not your case, not by a long shot, and I would venture to say that if he reads what you wrote, he would actually appreciate it too and possibly even remove his flag.
But that is not important, whats important is what you have written here today, what is important is that you learn to ignore some of the noise that may surround today's events and focus on this little gem that you have bravely put out there for all of us to read.
