It effectively accuses the OP of wrongdoing, of sneakily making a question about one thing rather than the other. It seems like your answer would work just as well if you simply deleted that sentence, and thus the accusation. Even if he did include two different questions in one, I think we do well to assume good faith and assume it is accidental. Not to make you walk on eggshells or anything. Just a suggestion.

The reason for going private can be important in this discussion. However, I still think the focus of your question is too much on the specific behavior of the user.
Dec 28, 2014 at 18:18	comment	added	Jacob Vlijm		Again, I don't mean to be personal; there is no conflict going on. Any example would include the risk of being taken personally. The behaviour you mention is in the extension of, and strengthening, the effect of the main point of the question. First creating the image of "an enemy", then offering a personal approach outside AU is on topic in this case, and it makes clear (to discuss) in what kind of situations or driven by what intentions a step outside "the open" is acceptable or not. I want to stress that this behaviour is what I want to bring into discussion, not the person.
