Regenerated response of ChatGPT (the same question including the same context of the rules of the forum):
The comment appears to violate the forum rules of being respectful and avoiding name-calling and ad hominem attacks. The statement “What a crock of” could be seen as disrespectful and the request for proof before making statements could be seen as an attack. The forum rules encourage improving the discussion and being agreeably, even when disagreeing. The comment could be seen as not adding to the conversation and not meeting these guidelines.
It could not be clearer. I had already mentioned the personal attack, and coming from a moderator who now claims not to be a moderator.
