Not OP, but FWIW your italicizing of drugabuse.gov also gave me the impression that you were dismissing it purely by domain. I did not ready any rudeness in your parent.

Thanks for your perspective, I appreciate it. I can see that being a legitimate read of the comment, if one punts on the guideline to assume good faith, and interpret people's arguments in the strongest light, rather than, e.g., dismiss them on the basis of formatting.

It's just disappointing when that happens, because I try to engage that way, and assume my comments will be treated the same.

EDIT: That said, I didn't exactly offer much in the way of argument there, did I?
